• PMCC-COE-KMA · EXPERIMENTAL · Single infusion of PMCC-COE-KMA after lymphodepletion

The study proposed here intends to evaluate the safety and efficacy of escalating doses of autologous PMCC-COE-KMA CAR T-cells administered to patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma that expresses the KMA. The PMCC-COE-KMA CAR T-cells will be produced using LV and administered to patients after lymphodepleting conditioning chemotherapy. Considering the poor prognosis of myeloma patients who have relapsed after ≥ 2 lines of therapy, combined with evidence of PMCC-COE-KMA CAR T-cell specificity, as well as the efficacy and manageable toxicity of PMCC-COE-KMA, investigators believe the potential benefits outweigh the risks of this trial.
