Inclusion criteria

Age between 18 to 75 years inclusive, with no gender restrictions.
Expected survival time exceeding 12 weeks.
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0-2.
Documented diagnosis of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), and meets the following conditions:
- Relapsed or refractory after at least three prior lines of therapy, including proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies, with at least one complete cycle of treatment for each line, unless progressive disease (PD) was documented as the best response to that line.
- Disease progression during the most recent treatment or within 12 months.
Measurable disease at screening as defined by at least one of the following:
- Serum M protein ≥ 5 g/L.
- Urine M protein ≥ 200 mg/24h.
- Involved serum free light chain ≥ 100 mg/L and abnormal serum free light chain κ/λ ratio.
Oxygen saturation ≥ 95% within 3 days prior to cell infusion.
Clinical laboratory values meeting the following criteria at screening:
- Hemoglobin ≥ 80 g/L (without red blood cell transfusion within 7 days prior to testing; use of recombinant human erythropoietin is allowed).
- Platelet count ≥ 50 × 10^9/L (without platelet transfusion or treatment with recombinant human thrombopoietin or thrombopoietin receptor agonists within 7 days prior to testing).
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 0.75 × 10^9/L (use of growth factors is allowed, but not within 7 days prior to testing).
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3.0 × upper limit of normal (ULN).
- Creatinine clearance ≥ 40 mL/min, calculated based on the Cockcroft-Gault formula.
- Total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 × ULN; for participants with congenital bilirubin encephalopathy (such as Gilbert's syndrome), direct bilirubin must be ≤ 1.5 × ULN.
- Corrected serum calcium ≤ 12.5 mg/dL (≤ 3.1 mmol/L) or ionized calcium ≤ 6.5 mg/dL (≤ 1.6 mmol/L).
- For participants who meet the inclusion criteria at screening, red blood cell transfusion may be performed as needed after screening to maintain hemoglobin levels ≥ 80 g/L.
Deemed by the investigator to be able to receive lymphocyte-depleting chemotherapy.
Male participants and females of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception from the time of signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF) until 2 years after receiving the study drug. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to receiving the study drug.
The participant can understand the study and has signed the ICF.
Participants who have previously received BCMA or GPRC5D targeted therapy, including but not limited to CAR-T, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), or bispecific antibodies, are allowed to participate in the study.

Exclusion criteria

Pregnant or breastfeeding women; and subjects planning pregnancy within 2 years after signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF) until after receiving the study medication.
Presence of uncontrollable active infections requiring parenteral antibacterials, antivirals, or antifungals; positivity for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) or Hepatitis B core antibody (HbcAb), with detectable Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) DNA in peripheral blood; positivity for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) antibody and HCV RNA in peripheral blood; positivity for TRUST test for syphilis; positivity for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) antibody.
Subjects deemed by the investigator to have significant dysfunction of vital organs (cardiovascular, pulmonary); subjects with gastrointestinal active bleeding within 3 months prior to signing the ICF; uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥ 150 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 95 mmHg), hypertensive crisis, or history of hypertensive encephalopathy; history or evidence of significant cardiovascular or cerebrovascular risk, including congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association class ≥ III), left ventricular ejection fraction < 50%, unstable angina, clinically significant arrhythmias (such as ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, etc.); history of arterial thrombosis (such as stroke, transient ischemic attack) within 3 months prior to signing the ICF; history of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism within 6 months prior to signing the ICF, or history of coronary artery angioplasty, defibrillation, or any clinical complications or diseases that may pose risks to the subject's safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures, or completion.
History or current evidence of any condition or disease that could interfere with the study results or, in the opinion of the investigator, is not in the best interest of the patient to participate.
Active central nervous system disease, or a history of the central nervous system requiring treatment (such as epilepsy); or subjects with central nervous system metastatic disease, leptomeningeal disease, or metastatic spinal cord compression.
Systemic corticosteroid therapy within 1 week prior to treatment, excluding the following: intranasal, inhaled, or local corticosteroids, local corticosteroid injections (such as intra-articular injections), systemic corticosteroid therapy at a daily dose not exceeding 10 mg of prednisone or its equivalent physiological dose, and corticosteroids used as premedication for allergic reactions.
Prior antitumor therapy as follows, within the specified time frames prior to cell infusion: (a) Targeted therapy, proteasome inhibitors, or cytotoxic therapy within 2 weeks; (b) Immunomodulatory agent therapy within 1 week; (c) Monoclonal antibody treatment for multiple myeloma within 3 weeks; (d) Radiotherapy within 2 weeks. However, subjects are eligible irrespective of the end date of radiotherapy if the radiation field covered ≤ 5% of the bone marrow reserve.
Prior therapy with any other investigational drugs or systemic anticancer treatments within 4 weeks prior to signing the ICF.
History of another primary malignancy within 3 years prior to starting the study treatment, with exceptions for the disease under study, adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, and in situ cervical cancer.
