An Investigator-initiated Trial Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Anti-GPRC5D CAR-T Cells Therapy in Patients With Relapsed / Refractory(r/r) Multiple Myeloma(MM) Who Have Received Third-line or More Treatments

It is a single-center, open-labeled, single-arm, non-randomized investigatorinitiated trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of anti-GPRC5D CAR-T cells therapy for relapsed and refractory(r/r) multiple myeloma(MM) after three or more lines of treatments.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Multiple Myeloma in Relapse; Multiple Myeloma, Refractory
• Intervention / Treatment: Biological: Anti-GPRC5D CAR-T Cells Injection

Detailed Description

This open label, single-arm, investigator-initiated study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Anti-GPRC5D CAR-T in subjects with relapsed and refractory(r/r) multiple myeloma(MM) after three or more lines of treatments. A leukapheresis procedure will be performed to manufacture Anti-GPRC5D chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified T cells. Prior to Anti-GPRC5D CAR-T cells infusion subjects will receive lymphodepleting therapy with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide. After infusion, the safety and efficacy of CAR-T therapy was evaluated by investigators.
