Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single-arm, single-center, open-label clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GC012F in high-risk, transplant eligible patients with NDMM.

Description:

Twenty evaluable subjects are planned to be enrolled in this study. Apheresis will be carried out in subjects who meet eligible criteria, and total 2 cycles of induction therapy (three-drug combination regimen based on bortezomib with details determined by the investigator according to the patient's condition) will be selectively given to subjects before or after apheresis. Next, subjects will receive a single infusion of GC012F, and the efficacy assessments will be performed at 1 month, 3 months, and every 3 months within 2 years until the end of the trial (MRD testing is required for each efficacy assessment),
