Engineered immune cells take on Hard-to-Treat myeloma
NCT ID NCT04795882
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial tests two types of engineered immune cells (CAR T cells) in 27 people with multiple myeloma that has come back or not responded to at least three prior treatments. One type targets a protein called BCMA on myeloma cells, and the other targets both BCMA and CD19. The main goals are to see if the cells can be made safely and to check for serious side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BCMA CAR T cells and BCMA/CD19 CAR T cells
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for patients with multiple myeloma that has not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 27 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. There are risks of severe side effects like cytokine release syndrome.
