ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called CM-336, which is designed to help patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). Smoldering multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that is not yet causing symptoms but can progress to more severe forms. The goal of the study is to see how safe and effective this new treatment is for people diagnosed with high-risk SMM.

To participate in the trial, you must be at least 18 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of high-risk SMM based on specific medical criteria. Some key points include having certain levels of proteins in your blood and bone marrow and not having serious complications like anemia or kidney problems. If you join the study, you will receive the treatment and be closely monitored by the research team to track its effects and your overall health. It's important to know that the trial is not yet recruiting participants, so there will be more information available once they start.

Merri indicates diffuse abnormalities or 1 focal lesion, and/or increased uptake of focal lesion in PET-CT class without underlying osteolytic osteopathy. Meet the necessary conditions, 1 or more sufficient conditions.
• • \*FISH exceptions are defined as the presence of any of the following: t (4,14), t (14,16), 1 q amplification, del 13 qt, t (4,20)
• • 5. ECOG physical status score ≤2 points.

• • 7. Non-childbearing women meet the entry requirements; Female patients of childbearing age must have a negative serum (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin) or urine pregnancy test at the time of screening.
• • 8. Men, women of childbearing age, and their partners voluntarily use contraception deemed effective by investigators during treatment and for at least three months after CAR T cell transfusion.
• • 9. Male patients must agree not to donate sperm from the initial screening period until 90 days after the last medication.
• • 10. Patients must be willing and able to complete study procedures and follow-up examinations.
• • Note: Fertile women are all women who have begun menstruating and are not in late menopause and who have not undergone surgical sterilization (e.g., hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy). Postmenopause is defined as more than 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea for an unspecified reason. Women who are using mechanical birth control methods such as oral contraceptives or intrauterine devices should be considered fertile. Male subjects (including those who have undergone vasectomy) must consent to the use of condoms during sex with women of childbearing age and must not plan to impregnate the woman during the study drug use period from the date of signing the informed consent form and within 3 months after the last study drug receipt.
• Exclusion Criteria:

• • 6. Severe thrombotic events before treatment.
• • 9) Known active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or HIV seropositivity.
• • 10) Active hepatitis B or C infection. Screening requires hepatitis serological testing. If hepatitis B surface antigen is positive, a negative DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) result is required to be confirmed before enrollment (after anti-HBV treatment, a negative DNA polymerase PCR result is required before enrollment). If the hepatitis C antibody is positive, an RNA PCR test is performed and the result before enrollment is confirmed to be negative.

Kyphoplasty or spondyloplasty is not considered major surgery. Note: Patients who plan to perform surgery under local anesthesia may participate in the study.
