Summary

In this single-center, single-arm, prospective, Phase 1/2 study, the safety and efficacy of autologous BCOR and ZC3H12 genes knock-out CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy will be evaluated in patients with refractory/relapsed (r/r) B-cell Lymphoma. For simplicity, we have termed these CD19 CAR T cells lacking ZC3H12A and BCOR as CAR19TIF( immortal-like and functional CD19 CAR T ) cells, reflecting their immortal-like and functional characteristics. In phase 1, 3 eligible patients will be enrolled and receive CAR19TIF cells at a initial dose of 5×10\^5 cells/kg. Based on the results, subsequently an additional 3-15 patients will be enrolled in a "3+3" dose-escalation/decline design to adjust the dose of CAR19TIF cells to achieve optimal safety and efficacy. The recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) will then be established. 10 to 12 subjects will be enrolled and receive CAR19TIF cells infusion at dose of RP2D.

Detailed description

Phase 1 (dose escalation/decline) In phase 1, 6-18 subjects will be enrolled. Referring to the starting dose of most CAR-T cell therapies, and to avoid exposing patients to the risk of "ineffective expansion dose", 3 patients will receive CAR19TIF cells therapy at a starting dose of 5×10\^5 cells/kg.According to the copy number of CAR-T cells were assessed by number in peripheral blood and clinical efficacy data, additional 3-15 patients will be enrolled in a "3+3" dose-escalation/decline design to adjust the dose of CAR19TIF cells to achieve optimal safety and efficacy : After obtaining effective expansion data and clinical efficacy data, a descending dose escalation model will be adopted: such as 1×10\^5 cells/kg, 5×10\^4 cells/kg. If the 5×10\^5 cells/kg dose group does not achieve efficient expansion and clinical benefit, an ascending dose escalation model will be adopted, such as 2×10\^6 cells/kg, 6×10\^6 cells/kg. 3 subjects are enrolled in a cohort corresponding to a dose level. If 1 subject in a cohort of 3 subjects experiences a DLT, 3 additional subjects will be enrolled at the current dose level. For safety purposes, the administration of CAR19TIF cells will be staggered by 28 days between the first two subjects in each cohort. And for each of the remaining cohorts, the administration of CAR19TIF cells will be staggered by 28 day. Phase 2 (expansion cohort) In phase 2, 10 to 12 subjects will be enrolled and receive cell infusion at dose of RP2D, which will be determined based on the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), occurrence of DLT, the obtained efficacy results, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and other data according to the phase 1. Objectives The primary objectives of the phase 1 were to evaluate the tolerability and safety of CAR19TIF cells in patients with r/r B-cell Lymphoma , and determine RP2D. The primary purpose of the phase 2 study was to evaluate the efficacy of CAR19TIF cells in the above population.
