Overview

This is a clincal trial initiated by investigator to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-CD5 CAR-NK in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory T-Cell hematologic malignancies.

Description

This study is a single-arm, open-label, dose-finding and expansion clinical trial aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of anti-CD5 CAR-NK therapy for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory T-Cell hematologic malignancies. The goal is to determine the recommended dose of CAR-NK cell therapy for these conditions. The study includes three dose groups: 1×10⁷ CAR-positive cells/kg, 3×10⁷ CAR-positive cells/kg, and 5×10⁷ CAR-positive cells/kg. Each patient will initially receive a single infusion of CAR-NK cells on Day 0. If a suboptimal response is observed after the first infusion (assessed by Day 28) and the safety profile remains acceptable, a second infusion may be administered as a remedial dose after Day 28. The investigaors have the flexibility to adjust the second infusion dose based on the subject's condition.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

-

1.Gender and Age: No gender restriction; age 18-75 years (inclusive). 2.Diagnosis: Confirmed diagnosis of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or T-cell lymphoma, including:

  1. T-ALL Patients: Bone marrow morphology during screening shows ≥5% blasts/immature lymphocytes and/or flow cytometry confirms minimal residual disease (MRD)+, and meets any of the following:
    1. Refractory to ≥2 cycles of standard induction chemotherapy (failure to achieve CR).
    2. Relapsed within 12 months after achieving CR with first-line induction therapy.
    3. Failure to achieve CR or relapse after ≥2 lines of chemotherapy.
    4. Relapse after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
  2. T-cell Lymphoma Patients: Confirmed diagnosis of T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) or

    T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (including but not limited to: peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL), T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL), adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), mycosis fungoides/Sézary syndrome (MF/SS) stage IIB or higher), and meets both:

    1. At least one bidimensionally measurable lesion per Lugano 2014 criteria: nodal lesions >1.5 cm in long axis; extranodal lesions >1.0 cm in long axis.
    2. Refractory to ≥2 lines of chemotherapy, primary resistance, or relapse post-HSCT.

      3.CD5 Positivity: Confirmed by flow cytometry (≥80% tumor cells express CD5 with mean fluorescence intensity [MFI] equivalent to normal T cells; Dim defined as MFI ≥1 log lower than normal T cells; partial positivity defined as 20-80% tumor cells expressing CD5) or immunohistochemistry (>30% tumor cells express CD5).

      4.ECOG Performance Status: 0-2 . 5.Life Expectancy: ≥12 weeks. 6.Organ

      Function
    3. Cardiac: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50% by echocardiography; no

      significant ECG abnormalities.

    4. Renal: Serum creatinine ≤2.0×ULN.
    5. Hepatic: ALT/AST ≤3.0×ULN (≤5.0×ULN if liver involvement); total bilirubin ≤2.0×ULN.
    6. Pulmonary: Oxygen saturation ≥92% (room air). 7.No Contraindications: To leukapheresis, venipuncture, or cell collection. 8.No Severe Psychiatric Disorders. 9.Contraception: Agreement to use effective contraception from informed consent until 1 year post-CAR-NK infusion (for patients of childbearing potential).

      10.Informed Consent: Signed by the patient or legal guardian, confirming understanding of the trial's purpose and procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Prior CAR-NK therapy or genetically modified cell therapy.
  2. Active CNS involvement at screening (prior CNS involvement with resolved status post-treatment is allowed).
  3. Recent Anticancer Therapy:
    1. Chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or investigational drugs within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives prior to screening.
    2. Radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to screening.
  4. Active/Uncontrolled Infection: Within 1 week prior to screening.
  5. Cerebrovascular Event or Seizure: Within 6 months prior to screening.
  6. Viral Infections:
    1. HBV DNA > ULN (if HBsAg+ or HBcAb+).
    2. HCV RNA > ULN (if HCV Ab+).
    3. HIV+, syphilis+, or active tuberculosis.
  7. Cardiac Disease:
    1. NYHA Class III/IV congestive heart failure.
    2. Myocardial infarction or CABG ≤6 months prior.
    3. Clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia or unexplained syncope (excluding vasovagal/dehydration-related).
    4. Severe cardiomyopathy.
  8. Active/Uncontrolled Autoimmune Disease.
  9. Prior Malignancy: Within 5 years, except for cured cervical carcinoma in situ, basal/squamous skin cancer, localized prostate cancer, or ductal carcinoma in situ.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

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.
