About

This is a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation phase I clinical study to explore the safety, tolerability, and cytokinetic characteristics of MC-1-50 cell formulation, and to preliminarily observe the efficacy of MC-1-50 cell formulation in subjects with relapsed/refractory CD19-positive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Full description

Based on the specific CD19-targeting CAR-T developed on the PrimeCARTM platform, the cell preparation time is about 3 days, which can greatly shorten the waiting time of patients, improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. At the same time, MC-1-50 products have a high proportion of T naive cells, which can play a therapeutic effect at a very small infusion dose to improve safety. In this study, a "3+3" design was adopted, and four dose groups were set up with 1×105/kg, 3×105/kg, 5×105/kg, and 10×105/kg CAR-positive cells, respectively (the upper limit of the total number of cells was not more than 1×108 CAR-positive cells). All subjects received only one infusion of MC-1-50 cells.

Inclusion criteria

The patient or his/her guardian agrees to participate in the clinical trial and signs the ICF, indicating that he/she understands the purpose and procedure of the clinical trial and is willing to participate in the study;
Age ≥18 years old, gender unlimited;
Confirmed cytological or histological diagnosis of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma according to WHO 2017 criteria, including the following pathological types:
1. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: including non-specific type (DLBCL, NOS), chronic inflammatory associated DLBCL, primary cutaneous DLBCL (leg type), EBV-positive DLBCL (NOS);
2. High-grade B-cell lymphomas (including NOS and high-grade B-cell lymphomas with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements);
3. Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma;
4. Rich T/ histiocytic large B-cell lymphoma;
5. Transformed DLBCL (e.g., transformed DLBCL of follicular lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small B lymphocytic lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, etc.);
6. Grade 3b follicular lymphoma (FL3b);
Have received adequate treatment with CD20 monoclonal antibody and anthracyclines in the past (except for those who are negative for CD20 and anthracyclines, or who are unable to tolerate or adapt to CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy or have other conditions in which the use of CD20 monoclonal antibody is not considered appropriate by the investigators), For those who are allergic to CD20 monoclonal antibody, or have intolerable serious adverse reactions after use, or have active infections and serious cardiovascular problems, etc.), the definition of relapse or refractory is met during screening:
1. Recurrence: recurrence of disease progression or recurrence after achieving CR with standard treatment;
2. Difficult to treat: The best curative effect after at least 4 courses of first-line treatment/at least 2 courses of end-line treatment (2 lines and more) is disease stabilization (SD), and the SD maintenance time after the last dose is not more than 6 months; Or the best response to the last treatment was disease progression (PD);
3. No remission, disease progression or recurrence after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation;
4. Patients with transformational lymphoma who received chemotherapy prior to transformation and did not go into remission, disease progression, or relapse after salvage therapy after transformation.
Immunohistochemical or flow cytometry results showed positive CD19 expression;
ECOG 0 ~ 1 points;
The expected survival time is 12 weeks or more;
According to the 2014 edition of Lugano standard, there is at least one two-dimensional measurable lesion as the evaluation basis: for intranodular lesion, it is defined as: long diameter >1.5cm; For extranodal lesions, the length diameter should be >1.0cm;
The functions of important organs are basically normal:
1. Cardiac function: cardiac echocardiography suggests cardiac ejection fraction ≥50%;
2. Serum creatinine ≤2.0× ULN, or creatinine clearance ≥60ml/min (CockcroftGault formula);
3. ALT and AST≤3.0×ULN (≤5.0×ULN for patients with liver invasion);
4. Total bilirubin ≤1.5 ×ULN (total bilirubin ≤3.0 ×ULN in Gilbert syndrome);
5. Blood oxygen saturation ≥92% in non-oxygen state;
6. Blood routine: neutrophils ≥1.0×109/L, platelets ≥75×109/L, hemoglobin ≥80g/L (with bone marrow invasion, neutrophils ≥0.5×109/L, platelets ≥50×109/L).
No serious mental disorders;
The venous access required for collection can be established, and mononuclear cell collection can be performed according to the judgment of the researcher, and there are no contraindications for other cell collection;
Women of childbearing age who have had a negative pregnancy test and all subjects agree to use a reliable and effective contraceptive method for contraception (excluding safe period contraception) for 1 year from signing the informed consent to receiving the infusion of MC-1-50 cells. Including but not limited to: abstinence, can inhibit ovulation implantable progesterone contraceptive; Intrauterine device (IUD); Intrauterine hormone release system; Spousal vasectomy; Combined hormonal contraceptives (oral, vaginal, and transdermal) that inhibit ovulation; Progesterone contraceptives (oral or injectable) that inhibit ovulation; Male subjects who have sex with a fertile female must consent to the use of a barrier method of contraception (e.g., condom plus spermicidal foam/gel/film/emulsion/suppository). At the same time, the subject should promise not to donate eggs (egg cells, oocytes) or sperm for assisted reproduction within 1 year after the cell infusion.
