Study of GC012F, CAR-T Therapy Targeting CD19 and BCMA in Chinese Participants With Relapsed or Refractory AL Amyloidosis

This is a Phase 1b, open-label, multicenter, non-randomized study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of GC012F in adult participants with relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis. A single-arm design was chosen for the study due to the absence of approved therapies for use as a concurrent control for this patient population. In the study, the safety of different doses of GC012F will be evaluated and the RP2D will be selected based on the totality of clinical safety, preliminary efficacy, CK and PD data.

Inclusion criteria

• Confirmed histopathological diagnosis of AL amyloidosis
• One or more organs currently or historically impacted by AL amyloidosis according to consensus guidelines
• Measurable hematologic disease: dFLC > 20 mg/L or serum M-protein > 5g/L
• Relapsed disease or refractory disease defined as a need for additional therapy after at least 1 line of anti-plasma cell-directed therapy.
• ECOG performance status of 0 to 1
• Must be able and willing to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements
• Women of child-bearing potential (WCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to treatment. All sexually active WCBP and all sexually active male subjects must agree to use effective methods of birth control throughout the study.
