Overview

This study is a single arm, open and multi center exploratory clinical study to observe the safety and effectiveness of CAR NK-CD19 in participants with recurrent or refractory CD19 positive B-cell malignant tumors, and preliminarily evaluate the expansion of this product in vivo and the objective remission rate after administration.

Description

The study will enroll 9-21 participants diagnosed with recurrent or refractory CD19 positive B-cell malignant tumors, including acute B-lymphocyte leukemia, B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and chronic B-lymphocyte leukemia. There will be three preset dose groups in this clinical trial, which are 1.0×10^7、2.0×10^7 and 3.0×10^7 CAR positive NK cells / kg (body weight), SRC will discuss and decide the next infusion plan. Participants will be enrolled from low dose group to high dose group, each dose will enroll at least 3 cases. Dose escalation will be decided by the SRC (Safety Review Committee) separately by diseases. There will be expanded cases in the aim dose group, which will at most to 6 cases. The protocol will be performed into screening period (-30~-10 days), prophase of lymophodepletion (-10~-5 days), Lymophodepletion (-5~-3 days), pre-infusion evaluation (-2~-1 days), infusion (day 0), and follow-up period (1-720 days). According to the administration strategy, we will start from single administration. Only after the SRC's decision based on safety and PK data, we could explore further on multiple administrations or combo therapy strategy.

  8. Voluntarily participate in clinical trials and sign informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  2. Participants with gastrointestinal lymph nodes and / or central nervous system involvement who were judged by the researchers to be at risk by CAR NK-CD19 treatment (except those who were judged by the researchers to be more likely to benefit than risk);
  3. Those who have graft-versus-host response and need to use immunosuppressants; or suffering from autoimmune diseases;
  4. Before screening, the researchers judged that corticosteroids needed to receive a long-term therapeutic dose during the study period;
  5. Received the following anti-tumor treatment within the specified time before
    screening
    i. Have received small molecule targeted therapy within 4 weeks or 5 half lives (whichever is longer); ii. Have received macromolecular drug treatment within 4 weeks or 2 half lives (whichever is longer); iii. Have received cytotoxic treatment or modern traditional Chinese medicine preparation with antitumor effect within 2 weeks;
  6. Those who have been vaccinated with live vaccine or attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks

    before screening; Note: it is allowed to receive inactivated virus vaccine for seasonal influenza; However, it is not allowed to receive live attenuated influenza vaccine for intranasal use;

  7. History of epilepsy or other central nervous system diseases;
  8. Other active malignant tumors in the two years before screening (except for the following cases: tumors targeted in this study, surgically removed non-melanoma skin cancer, cured cervical carcinoma in situ, local prostate cancer, low-stage bladder cancer, breast ductal carcinoma in situ, or no recurrence and no treatment of malignant tumors in the two years before randomization);
  9. Within 14 days before enrollment, there were active or uncontrollable infections requiring systemic treatment;
  10. Active hepatitis B participants; Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive; Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive; Syphilis antibody positive in primary screening;
    1. Participants with inactive / asymptomatic carrier, chronic or active HBV infection can be included if they meet the following conditions: HBV DNA < 500 IU / ml (or 2500 copies / ml) at the time of screening.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
