Study Summary

This trial is testing a new way to give immunotherapy after a stem cell transplant. Doctors will take some of the patient's immune cells, grow more of them in the lab, and then give them back to the patient.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-70 with advanced Multiple Myeloma who are eligible for a stem cell transplant. They must have functioning major organs, no active infections (HIV, hepatitis B/C), and no history of other cancers in the last five years except certain skin cancers. Participants need to understand and consent to the study's procedures.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests T Cell Immunotherapy following high-dose chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant in Multiple Myeloma patients. It aims to assess safety and potential effectiveness by infusing expanded immune cells after transplantation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to immune system activation such as fever or fatigue, complications from bone marrow transplant like infection risk increase, or organ inflammation due to the infused immune cells.
