  13. Male and female subjects of childbearing potential must agree not to donate sperm oreggs (oocytes) or other reproductive cells from the time of informed consent until 1year after the study drug administration;

  14. The participant or their legally authorized representative must provide writteninformed consent (ICF), indicating their understanding of the purpose and proceduresof the study and their willingness to participate.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

Study Design

Total Participants: 24
Treatment Group(s): 1
Primary Treatment: ESO-T01
Phase: 1
Study Start date:
January 27, 2025
Estimated Completion Date:
November 30, 2027

Study Description

ESO-T01 injection is the third-generation self-inactivating lentiviral vector targeting T cells in vivo, which carries a single VHH-directed BCMA-targeted CAR. Before infusion, the patients will be given the prophylaxis of acetaminophen and diphenhydramine. The designed dose-escalation includes four dose groups of dose A, B, C, and D. After infusion, patients will be followed for 2 years.
