About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Infusion of Anti-CD19-CAR-T Cells in Relapsed/Refractory B-cell Tumor Patients.

This study is a single-center, open-label, single-dose clinical trial of anti-CD19-CAR-T cell therapy in relapsed/refractory B-cell tumor patients after Qinglin pre-treatment.

In this study phase, a traditional "3+3" trial design is employed for dose escalation.

Read the detailed description

The study plans to include CD19-positive relapsed/refractory B-cell tumor patients. After the screening period, peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) collection, and lymphocyte depletion pre-treatment period, subjects will receive a single infusion of anti-CD19-CAR-T cells. In addition to the baseline period, efficacy assessments will be conducted monthly for ALL subjects and at weeks 4, 12, 24, 36, and 48 post-treatment for NHL subjects, until disease progression (PD), relapse, change of treatment regimen, death, intolerable toxicity, at the discretion of the investigator, or voluntary withdrawal by the patient (whichever occurs first).

Toxicity will be evaluated according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 5.0). Safety of anti-CD19-CAR-T cell therapy will be evaluated through laboratory tests, 12-lead electrocardiograms, vital signs, physical examinations, etc. Blood samples will be collected from subjects to assess cellular pharmacokinetics and explore the effects of cellular drugs on ferritin, C-reactive protein, and related cytokines.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • anti-CD19-CAR-T cellsBiological

    Before cell infusion, Investigator may decide, based on necessity, whether to administer prophylactic medication, which may include options such as acetaminophen and diphenhydramine, or H1 antihistamines, among others.

    Subjects are allowed to receive adequate supportive care after anti-CD19-CAR-T cell infusion, including blood transfusions and blood products, antibiotic therapy, antiemetics, antidiarrheals, analgesics, etc.

anti-CD19-CAR-T CellsExperimentalanti-CD19-CAR-T cell infusion. Infusion doses: The planned infusion doses are as follows: the first dose group at 1×10^5 cells/kg; the second dose group at 3×10^5 cells/kg; the third dose group at 1×10^6 cells/kg. Infusion doses refer to the number of CAR-positive cells. Administration route: anti-CD19-CAR-T cells are administered via intravenous drip at a rate of approximately 2 to 5 mL/minute using an infusion pump, with a recommended infusion time of less than 30 minutes.
Receives: Biological: anti-CD19-CAR-T cells

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of dose-limiting toxicity

    The proportion of patients receiving CAR-T cells who encounter dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). Safety evaluations are performed in accordance with the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 standards (Cytokine Release Syndrome and neurotoxicity will be graded based on ASTCT/ASBMT grading criteria).

    Measured: Up to 28 days from CAR-T infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing anti-CD19-CAR-T cells in people with B Cell Malignancies, run by Shanghai Tongji Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine 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 29 inclusion and 39 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Apr 2024. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Aibin Liang (+86 21 6611 1019, lab7182@tongji.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (time frame: Up to 28 days from CAR-T infusion). 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 19 Apr 2024.
