Double attack on tough myeloma: stem cell transplant plus CAR-T cells

NCT ID NCT05632380

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 31 times

Summary

This study combines a stem cell transplant with a special immune cell therapy (C-CAR088) to treat people with ultra high-risk multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that is hard to treat. The 20 participants will receive their own stem cells after high-dose chemotherapy, followed by a single infusion of CAR-T cells that target the BCMA protein on myeloma cells. The goal is to see if this powerful combination is safe and can control the disease better than current treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

C-CAR088 (a CAR-T cell therapy targeting BCMA) and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a more effective treatment option for patients with ultra high-risk multiple myeloma who have limited alternatives.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. There are risks of serious side effects from both the transplant and CAR-T therapy, and the treatment may not work for everyone.
