ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment approach for people with a very high-risk form of multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. The study combines two treatments: a stem cell transplant using a patient’s own cells (called autologous stem cell transplantation or ASCT) and a special type of immunotherapy called BCMA CAR-T cell therapy, which helps the immune system better target cancer cells. The main goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective for patients.

People who may be eligible to join are adults between 18 and 70 years old who have this high-risk multiple myeloma and are healthy enough for a stem cell transplant. This includes patients with certain genetic features or whose disease has not responded well to standard treatments. Participants will receive the stem cell transplant followed by the CAR-T cell therapy. To join, they must have good organ function and meet specific health requirements. The study is currently recruiting, and those interested should discuss with their doctors to see if they qualify and to understand the potential benefits and risks.
