ASCT in Combination With C-CAR088 for Treating Patients With Ultra High-risk Multiple Myeloma (MM)

Patients with ultra high-risk multiple myeloma will undergo leukapheresis, stem cell mobilization and collection (could omit if collected before screening), conditioning, ASCT and C-CAR088 infusion. Patients receive a single dose of C-CAR088 three days post-ASCT. Two conditioning protocols and two dose levels of C-CAR088 will be used based on the investigator's discretion. Patients will be evaluated closely for safety of efficacy during the first three months, then less frequently in the following months until 24 months post-ASCT.
