- Patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have previously been treated with four or more prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody
- Clinically fit patients (eg, good performance status and adequate organ function)b
- No prior treatment with an anti-BCMA targeting agent or CAR-T directed at any target
Clinical factors
- Biomarker testing not required
- Prior ASCT not required
- No age restrictions for adults
- In the pivotal CARTITUDE-1 study, patients were not excluded based on tumor burden
ASCT=autologous stem cell transplant; BCMA=B cell maturation antigen; CAR-T=chimeric antigen receptor-T cell; CD38=cluster of differentiation 38; CNS=central nervous system.
aSee key eligibility criteria from CARTITUDE-1.
bIn the pivotal CARTITUDE-1 study, patients were excluded from the trial due to any of the following: known active or prior history of significant CNS disease, including CNS multiple myeloma; plasma cell leukemia; allogeneic stem cell transplant ≤6 months before apheresis or ongoing treatment with immunosuppressants; creatinine clearance <40 mL/min; absolute lymphocyte concentration <300/μL; absolute neutrophil count <750 cells/mm3; platelet count <50,000/mm3; hepatic transaminases >3× the upper limit of normal; cardiac ejection fraction <45%; active serious infection; prior treatment with CAR-T directed at any target; or prior therapy targeting BCMA.

Treatment with CARVYKTI®1
CARVYKTI® Certified Treatment Center or manufacturing site
Collaboration between primary oncology center and Certified Treatment Center

Patient immune cells are extracted over the course of 3 to 6 hours. The immune cells are then cryopreserved and sent to the manufacturing site. Leukapheresis is likely to be performed at the CARVYKTI® Certified Treatment Center.

Patients may receive additional therapy for disease control before their treatment with CARVYKTI® at the discretion of the Certified Treatment Center physician, who may consult with the primary oncologist.

T cells are isolated after the cryopreserved leukapheresis material is thawed, and genetically modified to express the CARVYKTI® CAR. After quality control release, CARVYKTI® CAR-T cells are cryopreserved and returned to the certified healthcare facility for infusion.
Target 25-day turnaround CAR-T cell manufacturing time.a
aDefined as time that elapses from receipt of apheresis at manufacturing site to quality assurance release of finished product.

Patients are lymphodepleted with cyclophosphamide + fludarabine daily for 3 days (completed 2 to 4 days prior to infusion of CARVYKTI®).

CARVYKTI® is administered in a single infusion that may take approximately 30-60 minutes at a CARVYKTI® Certified Treatment Center.
Patient should remain within proximity of the Certified Treatment Center for at least 4 weeks following infusion.
CARVYKTI® dose is 0.5-1.0 x 106 CAR+ viable T cells per kg body weight, with a maximum dose of 1 x 108 CAR+ viable T cells per one-time infusion.

Patients are monitored periodically for the first 4 weeks after CARVYKTI® infusion, including daily at the certified healthcare facility for the first 10 days following CARVYKTI® infusion.
Patients are monitored long term by their primary oncology care team in collaboration with the certified healthcare facility team.
CAR=chimeric antigen receptor; CAR-T=chimeric antigen receptor-T cell.
