Experimental CAR-T therapy targets tough blood cancers in early trial
NCT ID NCT07365059
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy called GPRC5D CAR-T in 18 people with relapsed or treatment-resistant plasma cell disorders, such as multiple myeloma. The therapy involves giving patients a single infusion of their own modified immune cells designed to attack cancer cells. The study aims to check safety, side effects, and whether the treatment shrinks tumors, while also tracking how long the modified cells last 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
- GPRC5D CAR-T cells (a type of immune cell therapy)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with hard-to-treat plasma cell disorders like multiple myeloma.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small trial (18 people) testing safety first. The therapy may not work or could cause severe side effects, and it is not a cure.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Subjects must meet all of the following criteria: * According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissue Tumours (2022), patients with relapsed/refractory plasma cell disorders that have received adequate treatment and lack effective therapeutic options, including: multiple myeloma, plasma cell leukemia, extramedullary plasmacytoma, solitary plasmacytoma, or primary amyloidosis.i) Relapsed: Disease progression occurs after one or more prior treatments, requiring salvage therapy, and does not meet the criteria for refractory disease.ii) Refractory: No response to initial treatment regimen or salvage therapy, or disease progression within 60 days after treatment. No response is defined as failure to achieve minimal response (MR) or disease progression during treatment. * The subject's predicted survival time is not less than three months. * Tumor cells confirmed to be GPRC5D positive by Flow Cytometry (FCM) or Immunohistochemistry. * The subject failed autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. * Age 14-75 years (inclusive), both genders eligible. * ECOG performance status ≤ 2. * HGB≥70g/L(transfusion permitted). * The functions of vital organs need to meet the following conditions: ①Creatinine ≤ 2.5 × ULN or Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance \> 50 ml/min (excluding decreased serum creatinine clearance due to lymphoma mass compression), Combination with hemodialysis treatment is permitted. ②LVEF≥50%,② Oxygen saturation ≥90%,③ SCr≤2.5ULN,④ALT and AST≤3ULN,TBil≤2ULN. In the investigator's judgment, if organ dysfunction is associated with the current disease, the enrollment decision will be made by the investigator. * Subjects intending to conceive must agree to use contraception prior to study enrollment and for six months post-study. In the event of pregnancy or suspected pregnancy, they should promptly notify the investigator. * The subject or guardian understands and signs the Informed Consent Form (ICF). Exclusion Criteria: Any of the following conditions will not be eligible for enrolment: * Severe heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 50%. * History of severe pulmonary function impairment. * Concurrent other progressive malignant tumors. * Concurrent severe infection that cannot be effectively controlled. * Concurrent severe autoimmune disease or congenital immunodeficiency. * Active hepatitis (hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and/or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positive with HBV DNA copy number greater than the upper limit of normal at the study center; Anti-HCV positive with HCV-RNA copy number greater than the upper limit of normal at the study center). * Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), or syphilis infection. * History of severe allergy to biological products (including antibiotics). * Received inactivated vaccines such as influenza vaccine, COVID-19 vaccine within 4 weeks prior to screening, or received live attenuated vaccines (such as measles, varicella vaccines) within 8 weeks. * Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients with persistent acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) one month after discontinuation of immunosuppressive agents. * Patients with other severe physical or mental illnesses or laboratory abnormalities that may increase the risk of study participation or interfere with study results, and patients considered unsuitable for this study by the investigator.
