Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–70 with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have BCMA and/or CD19 expression on myeloma cells, an ECOG performance status of 0–2, prior exposure to key myeloma drug classes, and the ability to consent and attend required visits are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who lack BCMA and CD19 expression on tumor cells, have poor performance status or severe comorbidities, or cannot travel to the treatment center are unlikely to benefit from participation.
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 open-label, single-arm Phase I study using a 3+3 dose-escalation design to explore safety and define the maximum tolerated dose of CAR19-BCMA dual-target CAR-T cell infusion in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The study will record in vivo pharmacokinetics of the infused CAR-T cells and collect preliminary efficacy data. Eligible patients must have BCMA and/or CD19 expression on myeloma cells and prior exposure or resistance to standard agents such as proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, or CD38 monoclonal antibodies. Safety, tolerability, and early anti-myeloma activity will guide dose selection for future studies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the therapy could provide a new option that produces deeper or more durable remissions for patients whose myeloma has relapsed or become resistant to current treatments.
How similar studies have gone: BCMA-targeted CAR-T therapies have produced deep remissions in relapsed multiple myeloma, and early-phase dual-target approaches aiming to reduce antigen escape have shown promising but still preliminary signals.

Age 18-70 years old, both male and female; 4. Subjects with physical fitness status of 0-2 in the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score; 5. The estimated survival time from the date of signing informed consent is more than 3 months; 6. Hgb ≥ 60g/L (transfusible); 7.

Female patients (patients with fertility) are in pregnancy or lactation. Note: severe infection: refers to the infection with uncontrolled sepsis or infection focus, which can be enrolled after infection control. \-
