What this trial studies

This exploratory clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of targeted BCMA autologous CART cell injections in patients with recurrent or refractory light chain amyloidosis. The study aims to enroll 30 subjects and will assess the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and immunogenic characteristics of the treatment. Participants will receive a fixed dose of the CART cell therapy, and the study will monitor their response and safety throughout the process.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older diagnosed with recurrent or refractory light chain amyloidosis who have previously undergone second-line or higher treatment.

Not a fit: Patients who have not been diagnosed with light chain amyloidosis or those with an ECOG score greater than 2 may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients suffering from recurrent or refractory light chain amyloidosis.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is innovative, similar studies using CART cell therapies have shown promise in other hematological conditions, suggesting potential for success.

8. Hypertensive subjects who cannot be controlled by drug treatment;
9. Previous treatment toxicity reactions have not improved to baseline or ≤ grade 1 (NCI-CTCAE v5.0 version, except for hair loss and clinically insignificant laboratory test abnormalities);
10. Have undergone major surgery within 2 weeks prior to enrollment, or plan to undergo surgery during the waiting period for reinfusion or within 12 weeks after receiving study treatment (excluding planned local anesthesia surgery);
