CD4-specific CAR T Cells (CD4 CAR T Cells) for Relapsed/Refractory T Cell Malignancies

Overview

This is a phase I, interventional, single arm, open label, treatment study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CD4 CAR T cells in patients with relapsed and/or refractory T cell lymphoma.

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: N/A
    • Intervention Model: Sequential Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: None (Open Label)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: October 2021

Detailed Description

CD4-specific CAR is a chimeric antigen receptor immunotherapy treatment designed to treat lymphoma/leukemia expressing CD4 antigen. CD4+ T cell lymphomas are a subset of leukemias and lymphomas that are positive for the surface protein CD4. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CD4 CAR T cells.

Interventions

  • Biological: CD4 CAR T cells
    • CD4 CAR T cells administered to patients, will be either fresh or thawed CAR T cells by IV injection after receiving lymphodepleting chemotherapy.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: CD4 CAR T cells
    • Dose escalation phase: CD4 CAR T cells transduced with a lentiviral vector to express CD4 chimeric receptor domain on T cells with an escalation approach, 2e6 to 5e6 CAR-T cells/kg
