Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

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.

Additional Details

Leukapheresis procedure will be performed to manufacture CAR-GPRC5D chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified T cells. Bridging therapy is allowed between PBMC collection and lymphodepletion. Lymphodepletion with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide was performed for three consecutive days. After 1-day rest, subjects will receive a single dose infusion of CAR-GPRC5D at 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0 x 10^6 CAR+ T cells/Kg. Subjects will be followed in the study for a minimum of 2 years after infusion. Long-term follow-up for lentiviral vector safety will be followed for up to 15 years after infusion.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: CAR-GPRC5D cells

The tolerability and safety of CAR-GPRC5D cells will be assessed according to the "3+3" dose-escalation design. There will be three dose levels, 0.5×10^6, 1.0×10^6, and 2.0×10^6, CAR+T cells/kg. For each level, 3-6 subjects will be enrolled.

Interventions

Drug: - CAR-T (CAR-GPRC5D)

CAR-GPRC5D is an individualized, gene-modified autologous T cell immunotherapy product targeting GPRC5D that identifies and eliminates malignant and normal cells expressing GPRC5D. CAR specifically recognizes GPRC5D with a hypoimmunogenic human single-chain variable fragment (ScFv) that promotes car-T activation, proliferation, cytokine secretion and target cell killing through the CD3ζ domain. The amplification and persistence of CAR T are enhanced by 4-1BB costimulation signal.
