Trial Outcomes & Findings for Dendritic Cell (DC)/Myeloma Fusions in Combination With Nivolumab in Patients With Relapsed Multiple Myeloma (NCT NCT03782064)

NCT ID: NCT03782064

Last Updated: 2023-06-22

Results Overview

We planned to evaluate the immunologic response to treatment in blood and bone marrow. Two patients were treated on protocol and both came off due to disease progression early in the course of therapy (one patient during cycle 1 and one patient during cycle 3.) As such, there is insufficient data to perform what had been planned in correlative science studies so no samples were analyzed. This study has been stopped and no further patients are being enrolled and no further samples are being collected. No data has been obtained for any immune analysis; therefore no immune or clinical data will be reported on this trial.

Measure
Nivolumab+DC/Myeloma Fusions/GM-CSF
* Nivolumab will be given every two weeks * The DC/myeloma fusion vaccine/GM-CSF is administered 4 days per cycle Nivolumab: Nivolumab is a monoclonal antibody. Antibodies are part of your immune system; they are a type of protein that protects your body against foreign invaders, called antigens, by grabbing hold of antigens to stop them from invading your system. Nivolumab has been shown to react against cancer cells, including MM cells. DC/myeloma fusions/GM-CSF: The DC/MM vaccine is an investigational agent that tries to help the immune system recognize and fight against cancer cells, utilizing unique markers.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years

Population: Two patients were treated on protocol and both came off due to disease progression early in the course of therapy. Both participants did not achieve a defined clinical response. There is insufficient data to perform what had been planned in correlative science studies or in immune analysis. This study has been stopped and no further patients are being enrolled and no further samples are being collected.
