Overview

This is a single-center, single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation, early-phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of ZZSW-01 injection in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies.

Relapsed/refractory precursor B-ALL: ANC ≥1.0×10\^9/L (G-CSF support permitted), platelets ≥50×10\^9/L (no platelet transfusion within 7 days), hemoglobin ≥80 g/L (no RBC transfusion within 7 days); if bone marrow involvement or not in remission: ANC ≥0.5×10\^9/L (G-CSF support permitted), platelets ≥30×10\^9/L (no platelet transfusion within 7 days), hemoglobin ≥70 g/L (no RBC transfusion within 7 days). Additionally, absolute CD8+ T-cell count ≥0.2×10\^9/L and CD19+ B-cell percentage ≤5%.

Liver function: TBIL ≤1.5×ULN; ALT and AST ≤2.5×ULN (≤5×ULN if liver metastases are present).

Renal function: Serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN (if \>1.5×ULN, creatinine clearance must be ≥50 mL/min).

Coagulation: INR ≤1.5×ULN and APTT ≤1.5×ULN; patients on anticoagulation may be included if INR ≤2.5×ULN.

Oxygenation: Oxygen saturation \>92% on room air. 7. Non-hematologic toxicities from prior therapies (except disease-related) have resolved to ≤grade 1 before enrollment (excluding alopecia and ≤grade 2 neurotoxicity from chemotherapy). 8. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to ZZSW-01 infusion. All fertile male and female participants must agree to use effective contraception during the study and for at least 6 months after the last dose. (Definition of women of childbearing potential and contraceptive methods are detailed in Appendix 1.) 9. Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent and to comply with study procedures, follow-up assessments, and treatment.

8. Use of systemic therapeutic corticosteroids within 72 hours prior to ZZSW-01 infusion (physiologic replacement doses are allowed, e.g., prednisone \<10 mg/day or equivalent).
