About This Trial

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.

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.

Target enrollment of 110 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Multiple Myeloma subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 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 willing to sign a consent form 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: ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Who can participate in NCT06235229?

Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.

How do I contact the trial site for NCT06235229?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
