Brief Summary

This study is a single-arm, open-lable, phase I/II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GC012F in subjects with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients must have a diagnosis of active multiple myeloma as defined by the updated IMWG (International Myeloma Working Group) criteria, and meet one or more of the following criteria: 1. Serum M protein ≥ 1 g/dL; 2. Urine M protein ≥ 200 mg/24hrs; 3. Serum free light chain (sFLC) ≥ 10 mg/dL with abnormal sFLC κ/λ ratio. 2. Have received at least 3 prior lines of therapy for multiple myeloma. Note: According to IMWG guidelines, a single line of therapy includes a full course of monotherapy, combination therapy with multiple drugs, or sequential treatment with multiple regimens (e.g., the use of a 3-6 cycle regimen of bortezomib combined with dexamethasone, followed by stem cell transplantation, consolidation therapy, and lenalidomide maintenance therapy, is considered a single line of therapy). Unless the best response was documented as progressive disease (PD) or the subject was intolerant to the therapy. 3. Prior therapy should include proteasome inhibitors (PIs), immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), and anti-CD38 antibodies. 4. Evaluated by investigator based on IMWG standards, subjects have a confirmed (through testing at a central or local laboratory) PD during or within 12 months following the most recent anti-myeloma treatment. 5. Voluntarily signed a written informed consent form (ICF). 6. The signing of ICF complies with the requirements of GCP and relevant national laws and regulations. 7. Males or females, aged 18-75 years old (including the thresholds). 8. Subjects should be willing and able to comply with the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements. 9. ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance score 0-1. 10. Estimated life expectancy ≥ 3 months. 11. Adequate functional reserve of organs: 1. Neutrophil count ≥ 0.75×10\^9/L (growth factor support is allowed, but no supportive treatment is allowed within 7 days prior to screening); Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL (no red blood cell transfusion within 7 days prior to screening, recombinant human erythropoietin is allowed); Platelet count ≥ 50×10\^9/L (no platelet transfusion within 7 days prior to screening); Lymphocyte count ≥ 0.3×10\^9/L; 2. ALT/AST ≤ 3× ULN (upper limit of normal); Total bilirubin ≤ 2× ULN (in subjects with Gilbert syndrome, direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5× ULN is required); 3.

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 45% with no evidence of pericardial effusion as diagnosed by echocardiography; No clinically significant electrocardiogram abnormality observed; 5. Baseline oxygen saturation ≥ 95% on room air; No clinically significant pleural effusion observed. 12. Female subjects with fertility must: 1. Have a negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) pregnancy test confirmed by investigators during screening and before undergoing lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. 2. Agree and be able to use effective contraception continuously from screening to at least 1 year after GC012F infusion. Contraception must include one highly effective and one additional effective (barrier) method, initiated from screening until at least 1 year after GC012F infusion or until two consecutive flow cytometry tests show the absence of CAR-T cells (whichever occurs later). 3. Agree to avoid breastfeeding during the study period until at least 1 year after GC012F infusion or until two consecutive flow cytometry tests show the absence of CAR-T cells (whichever occurs later). 13. Male subjects must agree to use condoms during sexual contact with pregnant females or females with fertility for at least 2 year after GC012F infusion, even if a successful vasectomy has been performed. 14. Sufficient venous access for leukapheresis collection, and no other contraindications to leukapheresis. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior treatment with CAR-T products for any target. 2. Have any of the following concomitant treatment history: 1. Received a total of ≥ 70 mg of prednisone or an equivalent dose of other corticosteroids within 7 days prior to leukapheresis; 2. Investigators believe that patients has comorbidities requiring the systemic use of corticosteroids (a total of ≥ 70 mg of prednisone or an equivalent dose of other corticosteroids) or other immunosuppressive drugs within 12 weeks after the start of the study treatment; 3. Received a live-attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to leukapheresis or lymphodepletion; 4. Received any anticancer therapy, including but not limited to radiation therapy, cytotoxic therapy, PIs, IMiDs, targeted therapy, epigenetic therapy, or experimental drug treatment, within 14 days prior to leukapheresis (if radiation field covers ≤ 5% of bone marrow, subjects can be enrolled regardless of the end date of radiation therapy); 5. Received monoclonal antibody for treating multiple myeloma within 21 days prior to leukapheresis. 3.
