Anti-GPRC5D CAR-T Cells (CT071) in Participants With RRMM or RRpPCL

This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1/2 trial of CT071 in adult participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) or relapsed or refractory primary plasma cell leukemia (RRpPCL).

The study will be conducted in two phases. Phase 1 of the study will be dose escalation followed by dose expansion. After recommended Phase 2 dose is identified in Phase 1, the enrollment of Phase 2 will start. Following consent, enrolled subjects will undergo apheresis to collect cells for manufacture of the CAR-T cells. Following the manufacture of the CAR-T cells, subjects will receive lymphodepletion prior to CAR T-cell infusion. All subjects who complete the study, as well as those who withdraw from the study after receiving CAR T-cell infusion for reasons other than death or meeting the early termination criteria, will be asked to undergo a 15-year long-term follow-up.

• RRMM participants must have received treatment with at least one proteasome inhibitor, one IMiD and CD38 anti body, must be refractory to the last line of therapy, must have achieved a response (PR or better) to a least 1 prior treatment line;
• RRpPCL participants must have received at least one prior line of therapy.
• Participants must have documented diagnosis of RRMM or RRpPCL.
• The participants should have measurable disease.

Exclusion criteria

• Any significant condition(s), laboratory abnormality or psychiatric illness that would impair the ability of the participant to receive or tolerate the planned treatment or in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the participant (eg, compromise the well-being) or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments.
