This open-label, single-group trial gives one fixed intravenous dose of targeted BCMA autologous CAR‑T cells to people with recurrent or refractory light chain (AL) amyloidosis. The main goals are to evaluate safety, to preliminarily assess effectiveness, and to study pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity after reinfusion. About 30 participants are expected; key eligibility includes having recurrent/refractory disease after at least second-line treatment.

What it is studying. The study is testing the safety of a single intravenous infusion of targeted BCMA autologous CAR‑T cells in people with recurrent or refractory light chain amyloidosis, and it aims to preliminarily assess whether the treatment affects disease measures. It will record adverse events, serious adverse events, and dose-limiting toxicities, and will collect data on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immune responses after reinfusion.

What the researchers hope to learn. To evaluate safety (frequency of adverse events and serious adverse events; dose-limiting toxicity), to preliminarily verify effectiveness in recurrent/refractory light chain amyloidosis, and to explore pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and immunogenic characteristics after reinfusion.

What this study is about

The study's own summary, as published on ClinicalTrials.gov. Underlined terms have a short explanation.

This study is a multicenter, open label, fixed dose exploratory clinical trial with an expected enrollment of 30 subjects. The main objective is to evaluate the safety of targeted BCMA autologous CART cell injection in the treatment of recurrent or refractory light chain amyloidosis in subjects, preliminarily verify the effectiveness of targeted BCMA autologous CART cell injection in the treatment of recurrent or refractory light chain amyloidosis in subjects, and explore the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and immunogenic characteristics of targeted BCMA autologous CART cell injection after reinfusion.

AI summaryWhat participation may involve, in plain languageShow ▾Hide ▴

AI-written from the registry record, not the study's own wording. May contain errors or omissions. Check the registry text on this page and the original record ↗ before acting on it.

After screening, eligible participants receive a single intravenous infusion of the study's targeted BCMA autologous CAR T‑cell product. They will be followed closely for safety, with special monitoring for dose‑limiting toxicities during the first 28 days and adverse events recorded up to 24 months. Blood samples will be taken to assess pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immune responses; routine and organ‑function tests will be performed as part of safety monitoring. The registry record does not provide a detailed visit schedule or a complete list of all procedures.

How the study is structured. Interventional treatment study, open-label with a single group and no comparison arm. Participants receive one intravenous injection of the study cell product (targeted BCMA autologous CAR‑T) at a fixed dose and are followed for safety and other outcomes (safety tracked up to 24 months; dose-limiting toxicity assessed in the first 28 days). The study plans about 30 participants.

Terms used on this page · explanations by MedicalUpdates.ai

open label
No masking is used, so the assigned intervention is not deliberately hidden from participants or study staff.
enrollment
The number of participants a study plans to include, or has included. 'Estimated' means the planned number; 'actual' means the number who joined.
refractory
A condition that has not responded to a treatment. 'Relapsed' means it responded and then came back; 'refractory' means it did not respond in the first place.
pharmacokinetic
How the body absorbs, distributes, breaks down and removes a drug. It is studied by measuring drug levels or related substances at set times after a dose.
pharmacodynamic
What a drug does to the body, for example how it changes a blood marker or a symptom, and how that relates to the dose.
inclusion criteria
The conditions a person must meet to be considered for the study, for example a confirmed diagnosis, an age range or a test result.
informed consent form
The process of explaining a study, including its risks and what participation involves, so that a person can decide freely whether to take part. Consent is usually documented in writing, and a participant can choose to leave the study later.
dFLC
The difference between the abnormal ('involved') and normal ('uninvolved') free light chain levels in the blood. Used in some conditions to decide whether disease is measurable and to track response.
ECOG score
A scale from 0 to 5 that describes how a person's condition affects daily activity. 0 means fully active; 1 means restricted in strenuous activity; 2 means able to self-care but unable to work; higher numbers mean more limitation.
Absolute neutrophil count
The number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that fights infection, in a blood sample. Studies often require it to be above a set level.
upper limit of normal
The highest value of a blood test that a laboratory considers normal. Criteria such as '≤ 3 × ULN' mean the result must be no more than three times that value.
before screening
The checks done before enrolment to see whether a person qualifies, such as tests, scans or a review of medical history.
electrocardiogram
A recording of the heart's electrical activity. QTc is one measurement from it; some drugs are avoided if it is prolonged.
baseline
Measurements taken at the start of the study, before any study treatment, so that later results can be compared with them.
exclusion criteria
The conditions that rule a person out even if they meet the inclusion criteria, for example other illnesses, certain medicines or pregnancy.
