Autologous transplant with BCMA CAR-T followed by GPRC5D/CD3 bispecific antibody maintenance for transplant‑eligible primary plasma cell leukemia
Official title: A Prospective, Single-Arm, Phase II Study of Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation Combined With BCMA CAR-T Therapy Followed by GPRC5D/CD3 Bispecific Antibody Maintenance in Transplant-Eligible Patients With Primary Plasma Cell Leukemia
Run by Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, China · NCT07106684 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This plan will try combining high‑dose autologous stem cell transplant and BCMA CAR‑T followed by GPRC5D/CD3 bispecific antibody maintenance to see if it improves remission and disease control in transplant‑eligible primary plasma cell leukemia.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18–70 years with newly diagnosed primary plasma cell leukemia who are eligible for high‑dose chemotherapy/ASCT, have measurable disease, adequate organ function, and BCMA and GPRC5D positive tumor expression are the intended candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with prior BCMA‑targeted or CAR‑T therapy, active central nervous system involvement, active amyloidosis, uncontrolled viral hepatitis, non‑expressing BCMA/GPRC5D tumors, or who are not fit for transplant are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a prospective, single‑arm Phase II protocol enrolling newly diagnosed, transplant‑eligible primary plasma cell leukemia patients whose tumors express BCMA and GPRC5D. Patients receive up to four cycles of standard induction, then undergo high‑dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation combined with BCMA CAR‑T cell infusion. After transplant and CAR‑T, patients receive GPRC5D/CD3 bispecific antibody therapy as maintenance; those achieving stringent complete response with sustained MRD negativity (≥12 months) receive 24 months of maintenance then enter observation, while others continue maintenance until progression or unacceptable toxicity. MRD resurgence during observation triggers resumption of maintenance therapy. The trial is conducted at the Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital in Tianjin, China.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this combined approach could deepen remissions, prolong MRD‑negative intervals, and increase the chance of durable, treatment‑free remission for a high‑risk patient group.
How similar studies have gone: BCMA CAR‑T therapies and GPRC5D‑targeting bispecific antibodies have shown promising activity in multiple myeloma, but the specific sequence of ASCT plus CAR‑T followed by BiTE maintenance is a novel combination with limited prior evidence.
