9. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test during the screening period and before study drug administration, and must not be lactating during the study;
10. Men and women of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraceptive measures (excluding unreliable methods such as rhythm method) from the time of signing the informed consent form until 1 year after the last dose of study drug, and must agree not to donate sperm or eggs;
11. The subject or their legally authorized representative has signed the informed consent form (ICF), indicating understanding of the study purpose and procedures and voluntary participation.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Prior treatment with CAR-T therapy or other gene-modified cell therapy before screening;
2. Presence of active central nervous system (CNS) involvement at screening (including brain parenchymal, meningeal, or spinal meningeal involvement, or positive cerebrospinal fluid for tumor cells), or other CNS diseases;
3. Received the following anti-tumor therapies prior to PICX Injection infusion:
1. Chemotherapy, combination therapy with proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory agents, or other systemic anti-tumor drug therapy within 14 days or at least 5 half-lives before infusion (excluding intrathecal chemotherapy, which must be discontinued at least 1 week prior to infusion);
2. Radiotherapy to non-hematopoietic sites within 7 days, or to hematopoietic sites within 14 days before infusion;

1. New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV congestive heart failure;
2. Myocardial infarction, or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), or coronary stent placement within 6 months prior to screening;
3. Clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia, or history of syncope of unknown cause (excluding vasovagal or dehydration-related);
4. History of severe non-ischemic cardiomyopathy;
6. Presence of other clinically significant diseases or conditions, including:
