KQ-2003 CAR T-cells: KQ-2003 CAR T-cell therapy involves autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cells, capable of targeting both human B cell maturation antigen (anti-BCMA CAR) and CD19 antigen molecules (anti-CD19 CAR) simultaneously as a cellular therapy.
Study summary
This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation/expansion phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics and determine the recommended dose of KQ-2003 CAR T-cells for patients with Relapsed/Refractory POEMS Syndrome

* Subjects with active bleeding or VTE events (such as pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis) require anticoagulation;
* Have following severe diseases: unstable angina, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction , New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class ≥ III, congestive heart failure, poorly controlled severe arrhythmias or other cardiac diseases requiring mechanical support; subjects with known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with a forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) \< 50% of predicted normal; subjects with known moderate or severe persistent asthma, or a history of asthma within the past 2 years, or currently having any category of uncontrolled asthma; subjects requiring oxygen to maintain adequate oxygen saturation; subjects with hypertension whose blood pressure cannot be lowered to the following range despite treatment with two or more antihypertensive medications;
* Have active malignancies;
* Have any non-hematologic toxicity resulting from prior treatments that cannot be restored to ≤ grade 1 or baseline, excluding alopecia and grade 2 neuropathy;

Primary outcome measure(s)
Number of patients with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) — Within 28 days of receiving KQ-2003 CAR T-cells transfusion therapy For DLT evaluation, severity (grade) is classified according to common terminology criteria for adverse events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0).
Adverse Event — Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1) Safety will be assessed by adverse events (AEs), which include clinically significant abnormalities identified during a medical test (e.g. laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, vital signs, physical examinations). AEs will be coded by Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) and their severity will be graded according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 5.0).
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) — Within 28 days of receiving KQ-2003 CAR T-cells transfusion therapy At least 6 subjects in the MTD dose group must complete the DLT assessment.
Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) — Through study completion, an average of 1 year To determine after all subjects in the Phase 1 dose-escalation study completed DLT observation
