About this trial

The purpose of this phase I study is to determine whether MDC-CAR-BCMA001 (BCMA directed CAR T-cells) is safe and tolerable in the treatment of relapsed and refractory B-cell malignancies

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male or female patients aged ≥ 18 years

Written informed consent of the subject

Able and willing to adhere to the trial protocol

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2

Disqualifiers

Any Central nervous system (CNS)-involvement by underlying disease

History of seizure or cerebrovascular ischemia / hemorrhage within the last 12 months

History of any autoimmune Central nervous system disease (e.g. multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, optic neuritis)

Ongoing neurologic conditions that in the opinion of the investigator might increase the risk for neurotoxicity or impair the assessment of CAR-associated neurotoxicity
