A Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of BCMA-GPRC5D CAR-T in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma Who Have Received Three or More Lines of Treatment

January 21, 2026 updated by: Donghua Zhang
This research project includes patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (r/r MM) who have received more than three lines of treatment, including those with secondary recurrence, SCT recurrence, and refractory cases. Through this study, we aim to preliminarily determine the effectiveness of the treatment for r/r MM, with the expectation of providing new treatment methods to improve the survival rate of patients with r/r MM.

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. The patient or their guardian understands and voluntarily signs the informed consent form, and is expected to complete the follow-up examinations and treatments of the research procedures;
  2. Age 18-75 years (inclusive), gender not limited;
  3. According to the IMWG diagnostic criteria, patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma;
  4. Based on any of the following criteria, measurable lesions are determined during the screening: the level of single-clonal paraprotein (M-protein) in the blood ≥ 1.0 g/dL or the M-protein level in urine ≥ 200 mg/24 hours; or a light chain-type multiple myeloma diagnosed as having no measurable lesions in serum or urine: the free light chain of serum immunoglobulin ≥ 10 mg/dL and the abnormal ratio of free light chains of serum immunoglobulin κ/γ;
  5. Has received at least three lines of treatment for multiple myeloma in the past, and should include:

    1. One proteasome inhibitor (such as bortezomib, carfilzomib, ixazomib, etc.);
    2. One immunomodulator (such as thalidomide, lenalidomide, pomalidomide, etc.);
    3. One CD38 monoclonal antibody;
  6. There is evidence that the patient's multiple myeloma disease is relapsed/refractory or primary refractory, defined as:

    1. Relapsed/refractory: no response to salvage therapy (no response is defined as not achieving minimal response [MR] or disease progression during treatment), or disease progression within 60 days after the last treatment, or disease progression after achieving MR or the above remission;
    2. Primary refractory: no MR or above treatment response has been achieved, including patients who have never achieved MR or above remission, but the M-protein has not changed significantly and there is no clinical progression evidence, and patients with primary refractory and progression, meeting the progression definition.
  7. The patient has recovered from the toxicity of previous treatment, that is, the CTCAE toxicity grade is less than 2 (unless the abnormality is related to the tumor or is judged by the investigator to be in a stable state, which has little impact on safety or efficacy);
  8. The ECOG performance status score is 0-2 and the estimated survival period is more than 3 months;
  9. Has appropriate organ function:

    1. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 times the upper limit of normal value (ULN);
    2. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 times ULN;
    3. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN;
    4. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 times ULN, or creatinine clearance rate ≥ 60 mL/min;
    5. Hemoglobin ≥ 50g/L (must not have received blood transfusion support within 7 days before laboratory examination);
    6. Intraocular oxygen saturation ≥ 92%;
    7. Corrected serum calcium ≤ 12.5 mg/dL (≤ 3.1 mmol/L) or free ionized calcium ≤ 6.5 mg/dL (≤ 1.6 mmol/L);
    8. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 45%, confirmed by echocardiography that there is no pericardial effusion, and no clinically significant electrocardiogram findings;
    9. No clinically significant pleural effusion;
  10. The required venous access can be established, and there are no contraindications for white blood cell collection.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Within 3 years, diagnosed with or treated for any other aggressive malignant tumor other than multiple myeloma;
  2. Previously received the following anti-tumor treatments (before collecting and preparing the CAR-T cells): within 14 days or at least 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) received targeted therapy, epigenetic therapy or experimental drug treatment, or used invasive experimental medical devices; received monoclonal antibody treatment for multiple myeloma within 21 days; received cytotoxic treatment within 14 days; received proteasome inhibitor treatment within 14 days; received immunomodulatory agent treatment within 7 days; received radiotherapy within 14 days (except for fields covering ≤5% of bone marrow reserves);
  3. Suspected that MM has involved the central nervous system or meninges and confirmed by MRI or CT, or has other active central nervous system diseases;
  4. At the screening stage, had Waldenström macroglobulinemia, POEMS syndrome (multiple neuropathy, organ enlargement, endocrine lesion, monoclonal protein disease and skin changes) or primary AL amyloidosis;
