Significance::Multiple myeloma is an incurable cancer of the plasma cells. A new therapy with anti-BCMA CAR T cells — the patient's own T cells genetically engineered to find and kill myeloma cancer cells — has shown encouraging results. Unfortunately, patients still relapse. In this study, we propose to use T cells from HD volunteers, which have a stronger T-cell fitness, higher cancer killing capacity, and are ready to be administered when needed.
