This is a single arm, single center clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of CAR-T treatment for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
This study is a single arm, single center study targeting patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (r/rMM). The study plans to enroll 40 subjects, with a sample size based on actual occurrence and a dosage of 3×10\^6/kg±20%\~1×10\^7/kg ±20% CAR positive T cells.
BCMA/GPRC5D dual CAR-T is a new type CAR-T cells therapy for patients with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma.

* 7\. Positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or positive for hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) with peripheral blood HBV DNA quantification, positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA, syphilis test, or Epstein-Barr virus DNA.
* 8\. History of severe allergies (defined as Grade 2 or higher reactions) or known hypersensitivity to any active ingredients, excipients, mouse-derived products, or heterologous proteins included in this trial, including the conditioning regimen.
* 9\. Severe cardiac diseases, including but not limited to severe arrhythmias, unstable angina, extensive myocardial infarction, New York Heart Association class III or IV heart failure, myocardial infarction within ≤6 months prior to screening, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) performed, except for non-vascular vagal syncope or dehydration, severe non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, and resistant hypertension.
* 10\. Unstable systemic diseases, as judged by the investigator, including but not limited to severe liver, kidney, or metabolic diseases requiring drug treatment.
* 11\. Had acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) within 6 months prior to screening or required immunosuppressive treatment for GVHD.
* 12\. Active autoimmune or inflammatory neurological diseases (e.g., Guillain-Barré syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and clinically significant active cerebrovascular diseases (e.g., cerebral edema, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome) at screening.
* 13\. Requires emergency treatment for tumor emergencies at screening (e.g., spinal cord compression, intestinal obstruction, leukostasis, tumor lysis syndrome).
* 14\. Has uncontrollable bacterial, fungal, viral, or other infections requiring antibiotic treatment.
* 15\. Received blood transfusions or hematopoietic cytokine drugs affecting the patient's blood counts within 2 weeks prior to screening for planned CAR-T cell production, as determined by the investigator to affect cell preparation.
