About this study
Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Anti-CD19 CAR-Engineered NK Cells for Relapsed/Refractory B-cell Malignancies: a Multi-center, Open-label, Single-arm Clinical Study
This study is a single arm, open and multi center exploratory clinical study to observe the safety and effectiveness of CAR NK-CD19 in participants with recurrent or refractory CD19 positive B-cell malignant tumors, and preliminarily evaluate the expansion of this product in vivo and the objective remission rate after administration.
Read the detailed description
The study will enroll 9-21 participants diagnosed with recurrent or refractory CD19 positive B-cell malignant tumors, including acute B-lymphocyte leukemia, B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and chronic B-lymphocyte leukemia. There will be three preset dose groups in this clinical trial, which are 1.0×10^7、2.0×10^7 and 3.0×10^7 CAR positive NK cells / kg (body weight), SRC will discuss and decide the next infusion plan. Participants will be enrolled from low dose group to high dose group, each dose will enroll at least 3 cases. Dose escalation will be decided by the SRC (Safety Review Committee) separately by diseases. There will be expanded cases in the aim dose group, which will at most to 6 cases. The protocol will be performed into screening period (-30~-10 days), prophase of lymophodepletion (-10~-5 days), Lymophodepletion (-5~-3 days), pre-infusion evaluation (-2~-1 days), infusion (day 0), and follow-up period (1-720 days). According to the administration strategy, we will start from single administration. Only after the SRC's decision based on safety and PK data, we could explore further on multiple administrations or combo therapy strategy.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing CAR-NK-CD19 Cells in people with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by Beijing Boren Hospital at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Safety of CAR NK-CD19 Cell (time frame: Up to 3 months after cell infusion). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Oct 2026.
