Multiple Myeloma
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the feasibility and efficacy of anti-B-Cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA) expressing T cells in treating patients with multiple myeloma.
Detailed description
Primary Objectives 1. To determine the feasibility ad safety of BCMA CAR-T cells in treating patients with multiple myeloma. 2. To determine in vivo dynamics and persistency of BCMA CAR-T cells. 3. To access the efficacy of BCMA CAR-T cells in patients with multiple myeloma. Secondary Objectives 1. To assess the bone marrow and tumor migration of BCMA CAR-T cells. 2. To investigate the tumor killing capability of BCMA CAR-T cells in vitro 3. To investigate the possibility of host immune response to the mouse derived BCMA scFv, and evaluate its correlation to CAR-T persistence. 4. To correlate the subsets and differentiation of BCMA CAR-T cells to observed anti-tumor efficacy.
