Summary

CD19-CAR-γδT cell therapy is a cellular immunotherapy targeting CD19 to perform CAR modification on allogeneic γδT cells. A novel version of the CAR-γδT product by gene editing (QH103E) that has been validated for resistance to alloreactive T cell killing and enhancement of memory efficacy will be used in this study. This is a single center, prospective, open-label, single-arm, phase 1/2 study. A total of around 30 patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) will be enrolled in the study and receive QH103E product infusion. Phase 1 (n=9 to 12) is dose escalation part, and phase 2 (n=15 to 20) is expansion cohort part. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of QH103E in patients with r/r B-cell NHL.

Detailed description

Phase 1 (dose escalation) In phase 1, 9-12 subjects will be enrolled. Subjects will receive 3 doses of QH103E therapy (1× 10\^6 cells/kg; 3× 10\^6 cells/kg; 6 × 10\^6 cells/kg) increases from low dose to high dose according to the "3 + 3" principle: 1. Three patients were enrolled in the lowest dose group. 2. Subsequent patients were enrolled according to the following rules: 1. If the incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) was 0/3, 3 patients were enrolled in the next high-dose group. 2. If the incidence of DLT was 1/3, 3 patients were enrolled at the same dose; If the incidence of DLT was 1/3 + 0/3, 3 patients were enrolled in the next high-dose group. If the incidence of DLT was 1/3 + 1/3, this dose was defined as maximum tolerated dose (MTD); If the incidence of DLT was 1/3 + 2/3 or 1/3 + 3/3, the previous dose was MTD. 3. If the incidence of DLT was 2/3 or 3/3, the previous dose was MTD. To ensure the safety of the subjects, the first subject in each dose group was observed for at least 28 days after the cell infusion. If no DLT occurred, the remaining two subjects could be enrolled and treated at the same dose level. The safety data of all subjects in each dose group until day 28 should be reviewed and tolerated before proceeding to the next dose group trial. No dose escalation was allowed for the same subject during the trial. If a subject drop out during the observation period due to non-DLT reasons, new subjects should be enrolled to make up for the number of subjects who drop out. Phase 2 (expansion cohort) In phase 2, 15 to 20 subjects will be enrolled and receive QH103E infusion at dose of RP2D, which will be determined based on the MTD, occurrence of DLT, the obtained efficacy results, pharmacokinetics/ pharmacodynamics and other data according to the phase 1.
