About This Trial

This research study involves the study of TriPRIL CAR T Cells for treating people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and to understand the side effects when treated with TriPRIL CAR T Cells. This research study involves the study drugs:. * TriPRIL CAR T Cells * Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide: Standardly used chemotherapy drugs as part of lymphodepleting process

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Multiple Myeloma, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 18 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.
