9. Subject must sign the informed consent form approved by ethics board in person before starting any screening procedure.

Exclusion Criteria:

The presence of any of the following will exclude a subject from enrollment:

1. Subjects who are known to have GVHD or need long-term immunosuppressive therapy.
2. Subjects have received any anti-cancer treatment as follows:

   monoclonal antibody for treating multiple myeloma within 21 days before leukapheresis, or cytotoxic therapy or proteasome inhibitors within 14 days before leukapheresis, or immunomodulatory agents within 7 days before leukapheresis. or anti-tumor treatments other than those listed above within 30 days before leukapheresis.
3. Subjects who were receiving a used therapeutic dose of corticosteroid treatment (defined as prednisone or equivalent \> 20mg) within 7 days prior to screening, except for physiological alternatives, inhalation, or topical use.
4. Subjects with hypertension that cannot be controlled by medication.
5. Subjects with serious heart disease: including but not limited to unstable angina, myocardial infarction (within 6 months prior to screening), congestive heart failure (NYHA classification ≥III), and severe arrhythmias.
6. Subjects with systemic diseases that the investigator determined to be unstable include, but are not limited to, severe liver and kidney or metabolic diseases requiring medical treatment.
7. Subjects with second malignancies in addition to MM within the past 5 years before the screening, exceptions to this criterion: successfully treated cervical carcinoma in situ and non-metastatic basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma, local prostate cancer after radical surgery, and ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast after radical surgery.
8. Subjects with a history of organ transplantation.
9. Subjects have received major surgery within 2 weeks prior to leukapheresis or plan to receive surgery during the study or within 2 weeks after the study treatment (excluding local anesthesia).
10. Subjects participated in another interventional clinical study 1 months before signing the informed consent (ICF);
11. Subjects with any uncontrolled active infection needed to receive systemic therapy within 7 days before leukapheresis collection (excluding # CTCAE grade 2 urogenital infection and upper respiratory infection).

主要终点：Incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) by dose group · Dose limiting toxicity will be assessed after infusion in each dose group · 28 days after CAR-T cell infusion；Type and incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) by dose group · Calculate type and incidence of adverse events (AE), serious adverse event (SAE), including those happened after lymphodepletion and after infusion, those related to study drug and lymphodepletion, or those that led to withdrawal from the study. They will also be aggregated by systematic organ classification (SOC), preferred term (PT), and severity · 2 years after CAR-T cell infusion
次要终点：Objective response rate (ORR)；Overall survival (OS)；Duration of response (DOR) after administration；Progression-free survival (PFS)；Time to response (TTR)；Time to complete Response (TTCR)；Percentage of Participants With Negative Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)；Pharmacokinetics - Cmax

• CAR-GPRC5D cells · EXPERIMENTAL · After lymphodepletion, CAR-GPRC5D will be administered as a single infusion.

This study is a single-center, open-label, dose-escalation study to observe the safety and efficacy of different doses of CAR-GPRC5D in patients with R/R MM or Plasma Cell Leukemia.
