New combo attack on myeloma: antibody first, then CAR-T
NCT ID NCT07185477
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial tests whether giving a bispecific antibody (QLS32015) before CAR-T cell therapy can improve outcomes for 20 adults with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. The study measures how many patients respond and tracks side effects. It is a single-arm, open-label design, so results will be compared to historical data.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- QLS32015 (a bispecific antibody targeting GPRC5D and CD3) and BCMA CAR-T cells
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could improve treatment responses for patients with hard-to-treat multiple myeloma by using a two-step immune therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small trial (20 people) with no control group. The combination may cause serious side effects or not work better than existing options.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Voluntary Participation: Ability to understand and voluntarily sign the informed consent form (ICF). 2. Age ≥18 years. 3. Confirmed symptomatic MM diagnosis per the Chinese Guidelines for Diagnosis and Management of Multiple Myeloma (2022 Revision). 4. Relapsed/Refractory MM (RRMM) meeting one of the following: Triple-class refractory RRMM: Resistant to ≥1 immunomodulatory drug (IMiD), ≥1 proteasome inhibitor (PI), and ≥1 anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. Penta-drug refractory RRMM: Resistant to ≥2 IMiDs, ≥2 PIs, and ≥1 anti-CD38 antibody. Secondary plasma cell leukemia (sPCL): MM diagnosis per Chinese Guidelines (2022), plus Peripheral blood plasma cells ≥20% of leukocytes or absolute circulating plasma cells \>2×10⁹/L. 5. Successful apheresis for CAR-T cell manufacturing. 6. ECOG performance status ≤3. 7. No active infections: HBV-DNA negative, HCV-RNA negative, HIV negative. 8. Liver function: Total bilirubin \<1.5×ULN (\<3×ULN for Gilbert's syndrome). AST/ALT \<3×ULN. 9. Renal function: Calculated CrCl ≥30 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula). 10. Baseline oxygen saturation \>92% (room air). 11. Hematologic criteria (within 7 days of screening): WBC ≥1.0×10⁹/L, ANC ≥1.0×10⁹/L, hemoglobin ≥70 g/L, and Platelets ≥75×10⁹/L (or ≥50×10⁹/L if bone marrow plasma cells ≥50%). Investigator discretion permitted for clinical justification. 12.Growth factor restrictions: 2-week washout required for erythropoietin, G-CSF, GM-CSF, or thrombopoietin agonists (e.g., eltrombopag). 13.Reproductive requirements: Non-childbearing women eligible; Childbearing potential women: Negative serum/urine pregnancy test (β-hCG) at screening. 14.Contraception: Males/females of reproductive potential must use effective contraception (per investigator judgment) during treatment and for ≥3 months post CAR-T infusion. 15.Sperm donation prohibition: Males must refrain from sperm donation from screening until 90 days post-treatment. 16.Compliance: Willing and able to complete study procedures and follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior GPRC5D-targeted immunotherapy. 2. Investigator-assessed contraindications to GPRC5D×CD3 bispecific antibody therapy (e.g., severe cardiopulmonary diseases incompatible with treatment). 3. Grade \>2 peripheral neuropathy or ≥grade 2 painful neuropathy at screening (regardless of current medication). 4. Known intolerance, hypersensitivity, or contraindication to GPRC5D×CD3 bispecific antibody components. 5. Initiation of bridging therapy for BCMA CAR-T cell treatment. 6. Unstable/active cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease, including any of: 1.

Pregnancy or lactation. 10. Active gastrointestinal disorders affecting swallowing or drug absorption. 11. Major surgery within 2 weeks pre-enrollment or planned during study (excluded: kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty; allowed: local anesthesia procedures). 12.
