A Feasibility and Safety Study of CD38 CAR-T Cell Immunotherapy for Relapsed B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia After CD19 CAR-T Adoptive Cellular Immunotherapy

Overview

CD19-directed CAR-T cell therapy has shown promising results for the treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies; however, a subset of patients relapse due to the loss of CD19 in tumor cells. CD38 CAR-T cells can recognize and kill the CD19 negative malignant cells through recognition of CD38. This is a phase 1/2 study designed to determine the safety of the gene-edited specificity CD38 CAR-T cells and the feasibility of making enough to treat patients with relapsed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia after CD19 CAR-T adoptive cellular immunotherapy.

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: Non-Randomized
    • Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: None (Open Label)

Detailed Description

1. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: 1. To evaluate the feasibility and safety of specificity CD38 CAR-T cells in patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia and lymphoma. 2. To evaluate the duration of in vivo persistence of adoptively transferred T cells, and the phenotype of persisting T cells. Real Time polymerase chain receptor (RT-PCR) and Flow cytometry(FCM) analysis of PB,BM and lymph node will be used to detect and quantify survival of CD38 CAR-T cells over time. 2. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: 1. For patients with detectable disease, measure anti-tumor response due to specificity CD38 CAR-T cell infusions. 2. The CAR-T cells will be administered by i.v. injection over 20-30 minutes as a using Day 0: 1-5x10e6/kg total dose on day 0.
