B Cell Maturation Antigen（BMCA）-Targeted CAR-T for Refractory/Relapsed Multiple Myeloma

It's a single arm, open label prospective study, in which the safety and efficacy of B Cell Maturation Antigen（BMCA）-targeted CAR-T thearpy are evaluated in refractory/relapsed multiple myeloma patients.

In this trial, T cells are seperated from multiple myeloma patients, and engineered into BMCA-targeted CAR-T cells, these cells are then transfused back into the patients to elimimnate the myeloma cells. In this process, the safety and efficacy of this CAR-T treatment are closely monitored.
