CAR BCMA-CD70 CAR-T Cells for High-risk Plasma Cell Neoplasms

Official title: Clinical Study on the Safety and Efficacy of CAR BCMA-CD70 Dual-target CAR-T Therapy for High-risk Plasma Cell Neoplasms

Run by Affiliated Hospital to Academy of Military Medical Sciences · NCT07416682 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This early-phase, single-arm study tests a CAR-T cell therapy called CAR BCMA-CD70 for adults with high-risk plasma cell cancers to see if it is safe and can help control the disease.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–75 with high-risk plasma cell neoplasms carrying defined cytogenetic/molecular risk factors and adequate performance status (ECOG 0–2).

Probably not a fit

Patients without matching disease biology or with progression or intolerable toxicity may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an early-phase, single-arm trial evaluating the safety and potential effectiveness of CAR BCMA-CD70 T cells in people with high-risk plasma cell neoplasms. Participants receive CAR-T cells targeting BCMA and CD70 after receiving lymphodepleting fludarabine and cyclophosphamide. The study collects safety data and measures responses to treatment over time. Eligible patients are adults up to age 75 with defined high-risk disease features and adequate organ function. The trial is conducted at a single center in Beijing under the lead sponsor affiliated with the Academy of Military Medical Sciences.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience disease control or regression and improved symptoms.

How similar studies have gone: CAR-T approaches targeting BCMA have shown promise in related plasma cell disorders, but this specific BCMA-CD70 construct is novel and its success remains to be demonstrated.

3. Age 18 to 75 years (inclusive), male or female.
4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0-2.
5. Life expectancy \> 3 months from the date of signed informed consent.
6. Hemoglobin (HGB) ≥ 60 g/L (transfusion permitted).
7. Adequate hepatic, renal, and cardiopulmonary function as defined by:

   1. Serum creatinine ≤ 2 × ULN;
   2. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%) ≥ 50%;
   3. Blood oxygen saturation \> 90%;
   4. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN; ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 × ULN.
8. Subject agrees to use highly effective contraception from the date of informed consent until 1 year after CAR-T cell infusion.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Severe cardiac insufficiency with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%) \< 50%.
2. History of severe chronic lung disease associated with impaired pulmonary function.
3. Concurrent active or progressive malignant tumors other than the target plasma cell neoplasm.
4. Concurrent severe infection that cannot be effectively controlled with standard therapy.
5. Concurrent severe autoimmune disease or congenital immunodeficiency disorders.
6. Active viral hepatitis, defined as hepatitis B virus DNA (HBV-DNA) or hepatitis C virus RNA (HCV-RNA) levels above the lower limit of detection (LLOD).
7. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), or syphilis infection.
8. History of severe allergic reactions to biological products, including antibiotics.
9. Recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with persistent acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) that does not resolve within 1 month after discontinuing immunosuppressive therapy.
10. Presence of other severe physical or psychiatric illnesses, or significant laboratory abnormalities, that may increase the risks of study participation, interfere with study outcomes, or render the subject otherwise unsuitable for enrollment as determined by the investigator.
11. Female subjects of childbearing potential who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
