Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Up to approximately 50 months after the first participant is randomized

PFS as assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC)

Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Minimum of 5 years from randomization

Time from randomization to the first documentation of progressive disease based on the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Uniform Response Criteria for Multiple Myeloma assessed by an independent response committee (IRC) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Overall response rate (ORR)- Cohort 1
Up to approximately 5 years (Participants will transition to the long term follow-up (LTFU) study after a minimum of 12 months post-infusion for Cohorts 1, 2a, 2b, and 2c; and after a minimum of 6 months post-infusion for Cohort 1b, at their next visit)

Percentage of subjects who achieved partial response (PR) or better according to IMWG Uniform Response Criteria for Multiple Myeloma as assessed by the investigator

Complete response (CR) rate - Cohort 1b, 2a, 2b, 2c, and Cohort 3
Up to approximately 5 years (Participants will transition to the LTFU study after a minimum of 12 months post-infusion for Cohorts 1, 2a, 2b, and 2c; and after a minimum of 6 months post-infusion for Cohort 1b, at their next visit)

Percentage of subjects who achieved CR or stringent CR according to IMWG Uniform Response Criteria for Multiple Myeloma as assessed by the investigator

Overall Response Rate
From first dose to 24 Months

Number of participants who achieved partial response (PR) or better according to IMWG Uniform Response Criteria for Multiple Myeloma as assessed by an independent response committee (IRC).

Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rates
Up to completion of DLT period after last subject bb2121 infused

DLTs will be assessed during the DLT interval (ie, within 21 days immediately after bb2121 infusion). DLTs are defined as any bb2121 related Grade 3 to 5 toxicity.

Adverse Events (AEs)
Approximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infused

An AE is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a subject during the course of a study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the subject's health, including laboratory test values, regardless of etiology. Any worsening (ie, any clinically significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity of a preexisting condition) should be considered an AE.

Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and abnormal laboratory test results, including dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)
Day 1 through Month 60

Secondary Endpoints

Overall Survival (OS)
Up to approximately 60 months after the last participant is randomized
Percentage of Participants with Sustained Minimal Residual Disease Negative (MRDneg) Complete Response (CR) for 12 months
From randomization up to 60 months from randomization
Percentage of Participants with Minimal Residual Disease Negative (MRDneg) Complete Response (CR)

Frequently asked questions about idecabtagene vicleucel

What is idecabtagene vicleucel?

Idecabtagene vicleucel is a CAR-T cell therapy being developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company for multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow. It is an investigational treatment currently in Phase 3 clinical development, studied in adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma after autologous stem cell transplantation.

What is idecabtagene vicleucel used for in multiple myeloma?

Idecabtagene vicleucel is being studied in multiple myeloma, specifically in adult patients with newly diagnosed disease who have a suboptimal response after autologous stem cell transplantation. The Phase 3 trial compares it combined with lenalidomide maintenance therapy against lenalidomide maintenance therapy alone.

What does idecabtagene vicleucel target?

Idecabtagene vicleucel targets TNFRSF17, also known as BCMA, a protein expressed on the surface of myeloma cells. It is a binding agent designed to direct CAR-T cells toward cells carrying this target. The molecular target is TNFRSF17, classified as a binding agent target.

Who makes idecabtagene vicleucel?

Idecabtagene vicleucel is developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, which trades under the ticker BMY. The company is running the Phase 3 clinical program evaluating the therapy in multiple myeloma.

What phase is idecabtagene vicleucel in?

Idecabtagene vicleucel is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational therapy and is not described as approved. The ongoing Phase 3 study is active but not recruiting, and no completed trials are listed for this asset.

What clinical trials is idecabtagene vicleucel in?

Idecabtagene vicleucel is being evaluated in the Phase 3 trial NCT06045806, which compares it with lenalidomide maintenance therapy versus lenalidomide maintenance therapy alone in adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who have a suboptimal response after autologous stem cell transplantation. The trial is active but not recruiting and has enrolled 79 participants across 18 countries.
