About

One arm, open label study to assess the clinical use of Investigational Medicinal Product FCTX-CL19-1 (scientific name: Tarcidomgen Kimleucel) containing autologous anti-CD19 CAR T cells with a preliminary determination of the safety of intravenous IMP administration in patients diagnosed with refractory and relapsed CD19 + B cell neoplasms.

Full description

The aim of the study is to determine the safety of therapy with the study medicinal product FCTX-CL19-1 (Tarcidomgen Kimleucel) with preliminary determination of efficacy, as part of a phase I clinical trial in patients with relapsed and refractory B-cell CD19+ tumors.

The hypothesis of the study assumes that the use of the newly developed product FCTX-CL19-1 (Tarcidomgen Kimleucel) containing autologous anti-CD19 CAR T cells is safe and will lead to remission of B-cell cancer resistant to current treatment.

Enrollment: 6 estimated patients

   4. Serum creatinine clearance >60 ml/min (by Cockcroft-Gault formula);

7. Negative result for HCV, HBV, HIV, Syphilis;

8. Negative test for pregnancy (serum or urine) in the screening visit and/or 7 days before leucapheresis and 7 days before lymphodepleting therapy in women in reproductive age;

9. Assumption of at least 12 months of survival time from screening visit;

10. Agreement to maintain sufficient method of contraception from the date of signing informed consent to 6 months after CART therapy;
