Brief Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn if allogeneic cord blood-derived CAR-T cell drug works to treat Multiple Myeloma (MM) including Bone-related extramedullary (EMB) disease and extramedullary extraosseous disease(EME) in adults. It will also learn about the safety of the allogeneic cord blood-derived CAR-T cell drug. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. What adverse events occur and the incidence rate of DLTs within 28 days and UCAR-T-related AEs within 28 days after the allogeneic cord blood-derived CAR-T cell injection for multiple myeloma (MM)?

2. Which dose level is the optimal biological dose (OBD)?

3. What is the overall responserate (ORR), including stringent complete response (sCR), completeresponse (CR),very good partial response (VGPR), partial response (PR), minimal Response (MR) and DOR, PFS, RFS, OS?

Participants will:

1. be pretreated with FC regimen, fludarabine (30mg/m²/d, days -5, -4, and -3) and cyclophosphamide (300~500 mg/m²/d, day -5,-4, and -3).

2. rest for 2 days on Day-2 and Day-1. Tumor burden should be re-evaluated and chemotherapy side effects assessment.

3. receive allogeneic cord blood-derived CAR-T cells infusion

4. Visit the clinic at D28, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months and 1 year after CAR-T cells infusion.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• 1.Aged 18 to 75 years (inclusive of boundary values), with no limitation on gender;
• 2.Diagnosed with multiple myeloma in accordance with the "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Multiple Myeloma in China (2022 Revision)" :

1. Bone marrow monoclonal plasma cell percentage ≥10% and/or histopathological evidence of plasmacytoma; and presence of at least one of the following SLiM CRAB features:

SLiM refers to:

• S: Bone marrow monoclonal plasma cell percentage ≥60%;
• Li: Ratio of involved to uninvolved serum free light chain ≥100 (with the involved light chain value being at least ≥100 mg/L);
• M: MRI detection of >1 focal bone lesion larger than 5 mm.

CRAB refers to:

• C: Corrected serum calcium >2.75 mmol/L [Corrected serum calcium (mmol/L) = serum total calcium (mmol/L) - 0.025×serum albumin concentration (g/L) + 1.0 (mmol/L), or corrected serum calcium (mg/dl) = serum total calcium (mg/dl) - serum albumin concentration (g/L) + 4.0 (mg/dl)];
• R: Renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance <40 ml/min or serum creatinine >177 μmol/L);
• A: Anemia (hemoglobin < lower limit of normal by 20 g/L or <100 g/L);
• B: Lytic bone lesions, demonstrated by radiographic imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI, or PET-CT) showing one or more lytic bone lesions.

2. Definition of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma:

• Must have received at least three therapeutic regimens (The induction and maintenance therapies associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, whether one or both were performed, are considered as one therapeutic regimen);
• Must have been treated with a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, or an anti-CD38 antibody;
• Must be refractory to the last therapeutic regimen [refractory is defined as disease progression documented during or within 60 days after completion of the last anti-multiple myeloma therapeutic regimen (based on the last dose of the drug)].
• 3.Presence of at least one measurable lesion, meeting at least one of the following criteria:

• Serum M protein ≥0.5 g/dL;
• Urine M protein ≥200 mg/24 hours;
• Serum free light chain (FLC) assay: involved FLC level ≥10 mg/dL (100 mg/L), provided that the serum FLC ratio is abnormal;
• Biopsy-proven evaluable plasmacytoma;
• Bone marrow plasma cells constituting >30% of total bone marrow cells;
• 4.Negative for Donor Specific Antibody (DSA);
• 5.The most recent assessment during the screening period indicates sufficient organ function, including renal and hepatic function, defined as:

• Creatinine clearance rate ≥60 mL/min (calculated according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula);
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3×ULN (upper limit of normal);
• Total bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN (for participants with a history of Gilbert's syndrome, total bilirubin ≤2.5×ULN).
• 6.Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days before enrollment. In this study, women of childbearing potential, their male partners with reproductive potential, and their partners must use effective contraception from the screening period until 12 months after UC503 administration.
