Anti-CD19 Allo-CAR-T Cells for Relapsed B Cell Malignancies After HSCT

Anti-CD19 Donor-derived CAR-T Cells for Patients With Relapsed B Cell Malignancies After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: a Multi-center, Uncontrolled Trial.

The patients with relapsed B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) after hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) have a poor prognosis, especially for these relapsed in a short time after transplantation. Nowadays there is no effective way to salvage patients in such conditions. T cells derived from healthy matched sibling or unrelated donors have not been restrained by tumor micro-environment and retain anti-leukemia ability, which makes it serve well for patients with relapsed B-ALL. So we launched a multi-center clinical trial to proved the safety and efficacy of anti-CD19 CAR-T cells for relapsed B cell ALL.

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: B Cell Leukemia; Relapsed Adult ALL
• Intervention / Treatment: Biological: anti-CD19 allo-CAR-T cells

Detailed Description

The stunning response rate of anti-CD19(cluster of differentiation antigen 19) auto-CAR(chimeric antigen receptor)-T cell therapy brings hope to patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell hematologic malignancies. However, for B-ALL patients suffered from relapse after allo-HSCT (hematopoietic stem cell transplant), the T cells derived from healthy donor seems like a better origin for CAR-T cells producing because T cells derived from healthy matched sibling or unrelated donors have not been restrained by tumor micro-environment and retain anti-leukemia ability. So after we designed a clinical trial to manifest the safety and efficacy of anti-CD19 CAR-T cells for patients with relapsed B cell ALL.

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: anti-CD19 allo-CAR-T; The study will employ dose level cohorts of three patients that will be treated at each level described below, based on the number of T cells to be infused using the "3 + 3" dose-escalation strategy to find MTD followed by a dose-expansion phase at determining optimal dosage. dosage: the number of anti CD19+CD22 CAR T cells -1(if needed) 1×10^6/KG 3×10^6 /KG 6×10^6 /KG 1×10^7/KG Treatment follows a lymphodepletion, chemotherapy regimen that consists of Fludarabine (30 mg/m2 per day) and Cyclophosphamide (300mg/m2 per day) for 3 days or bendamustione (90mg/m2 per day) for two days prior to cell infusion.

Biological: anti-CD19 allo-CAR-T cells; The T cells collected from haploidentical donors have been manufactured to express CAR to binding CD19 on B-cell leukemia.
