Safety, Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of ThisCART19A in Patients With Refractory or Relapsed B Cell Lymphoma

A Single Dose-escalation and Dose-expansion Study to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of Allogeneic CAR-T Targeting CD19 in Patients With Refractory or Relapsed B Cell Lymphoma.

This is a phase 1/2, open-label study to assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of ThisCART19A (Allogeneic Anti CD19 CAR-T) in patients with refractory or relapsed CD19 positive B cell Lymphoma.

Study Overview

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Conditions: Refractory or Relapsed B Cell Lymphoma
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Fludarabine; Drug: Cyclophosphamide; Drug: ThisCART19A; Drug: Etoposide

Detailed Description

This is a phase 1/2, single-center, nonrandomized, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of ThisCART19A in patients with r/r CD19 positive B cell Lymphoma and identify a treatment regimen most likely to result in clinical efficacy while maintaining a favorable safety profile. AIDS-related B-cell lymphoma were not excluded from this clinical trial.

Before initiating ThisCART19A infusion, subjects will be administered lymphodepletion chemotherapy composed of fludarabine、cyclophosphamide and VP-16. At Day 0 of the Treatment Period, subjects will receive an intravenous (IV) infusion of ThisCART19A. All subjects are monitored during the treatment period through Day 42. All subjects who receive a dose of ThisCART19A will be followed up to 2 years.
