Dual-target CAR-T therapy (CAR19-BCMA) for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma

Official title: Exploratory Clinical Study on the Safety and Efficacy of CAR19-BCMA Dual-target CAR-T in the Treatment of Relapsed / Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Run by Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, China · NCT07249073 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial will test whether a dual-target CAR-T cell therapy that targets CD19 and BCMA is safe and tolerable for adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

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.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or known acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), or syphilis infection; 8.
