Summary

This trial tests a drug to help people with a rare illness who have not been helped by other treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with relapsed or refractory light chain amyloidosis who have had previous treatments. They must not be pregnant, agree to birth control, and have measurable disease. People with inadequate organ function, recent other therapies, certain blood disorders, active infections or second malignancies are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests NXC-201 CAR-T cells' safety and effectiveness in treating AL amyloidosis that has returned or resisted treatment. It's an early-phase trial where the dose of NXC-201 will be increased gradually to find the right balance between efficacy and safety.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for NXC-201 CAR-T aren't listed here, common ones for similar therapies include fever, fatigue, immune reactions affecting different organs (like heart or liver), nerve issues, and a risk of infection due to weakened immunity.
