Can engineered immune cells outsmart Treatment-Resistant myeloma?
NCT ID NCT05376345
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing an experimental therapy called LCAR-BCDR, which uses a patient's own immune cells that have been engineered to recognize and attack a protein called BCMA found on myeloma cells. The study aims to see if this treatment is safe and tolerable, and whether it can shrink tumors in people with multiple myeloma that has returned or stopped responding to standard treatments. Participants will receive a conditioning regimen before the cell infusion, and researchers will monitor side effects and how long the cells persist in the body.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LCAR-BCDR cells, a type of CAR-T cell therapy targeting BCMA
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option that may achieve long-lasting remission for patients with multiple myeloma who have not responded to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet established. CAR-T therapy can cause severe side effects, and the treatment may not work for everyone.
