Study of CT071 Injection in RRMM or PPCL

This trial is a single-arm, open-label, dose-finding, first-in-human clinical trial. The main aim of this study is to preliminarily evaluate the safety and tolerability of CT071 after infusion, and explore the dose range of CT071 in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma or primary plasma cell leukemia, so as to determine the possible recommended therapeutic dose (RD).

Inclusion criteria

• Volunteer to participate in the clinical trial; fully understand and are informed of this trial and sign the informed consent form; Willing to follow and able to complete all trial procedures;
• Age ≥ 18 years, male or female;
• Patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least three lines therapy for multiple myeloma (requires relapse, progression, non-response after treatment with at least 1 proteasome inhibitor and at least 1 immunomodulator.
• Patients with primary plasma cell leukemia progressed after treatment with at least 1 regimen;
• Progressive disease at the time of enrollment according to the IMWG consensus for myeloma or plasma cell leukemia;
• Have any of the following evaluable conditions:

• Serum M-protein ≥ 5 g/L;
• 24-hour urine M-protein ≥ 200 mg;
• Abnormal serum free light chain (sFLC) ratio and affected FLC ≥ 100 mg/L in subjects with multiple myeloma who did not meet evaluable criteria for either serum or urine M-protein levels;
• Circulating plasma cells ≥ 5% (PCL subjects only);
• Estimated survival > 12 weeks;
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score 0-2;
• Subjects had adequate organ function.
• Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening, be willing to use a highly effective and reliable method of contraception within 1 year after receiving the trial treatment, and absolutely prohibit egg donation during the trial and within 1 year after receiving the trial treatment;
• Male subjects, if sexually active with a female of childbearing potential, are willing to use a highly effective and reliable method of contraception for 1 year after receiving trial treatment. All male subjects are absolutely prohibited from donating sperm during the trial and for 1 year after receiving the trial treatment.

Exclusion criteria

• Pregnant or lactating females;
• Patients with a history of neurological disease, such as epilepsy, intracranial hemorrhage, paralysis, aphasia, stroke, severe brain injury, dementia, Parkinson's disease, cerebellar disease, memory impairment, spinal cord compression, psychiatric disease or any disease involving the central nervous system, or suspected central nervous system (CNS) metastasis;
