About

This clinical trial aims to investigate the safety, optimal dosage, and effectiveness of autologous tumor-specific T cells, known as Hema-NeoTIL0 in treating relapsed/refractory B-ALL/AML.

Full description

Primary Objective:

To assess the safety of Hema-NeoTIL01 in the treatment of relapsed/refractory acute leukemia (B-ALL/AML).

Secondary Objective:

To evaluate the efficacy of Hema-NeoTIL01 in relapsed/refractory acute leukemia (B-ALL/AML).

Enrollment: 20 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 70 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

10. Pregnancy test must be negative, and fertile non-abstinent female patients must agree to use effective contraception from the start of self-screening to 1 year after cell infusion. Fertile male patients with fertile partners must agree to use effective contraception from the start of self-screening to 1 year after cell infusion, and should not donate semen or sperm throughout the study period.
11. The subject and their legal guardian voluntarily participate in this study, understand the trial information and objectives, and provide informed consent with a signed and dated signature.
12. The subject and their legal guardian are willing and able to comply with all trial requirements.

Exclusion criteria

2. New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III or IV heart failure;
3. Any unstable diseases occurring within 6 months before screening (including but not limited to): unstable angina, ischemic or cerebrovascular accidents, myocardial infarction, severe arrhythmias requiring drug treatment (such as rapid atrial fibrillation, high-degree atrioventricular block, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or torsades de pointes), cardiac catheterization or coronary artery stenting, or coronary artery bypass surgery, thrombotic or embolic events.

6. Active graft-versus-host disease requiring continued systemic therapy;
7. Subjects receiving systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive therapy before screening, and the investigator determines that they will continue to use long-term therapy after enrollment (excluding inhalation or local use);
8. History of or concomitant active malignant tumors, excluding cured non-invasive basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, uterine cervical carcinoma in situ or localized prostate cancer or breast ductal carcinoma in situ without recurrence for at least 2 years;
9. Presence of other severe medical conditions as determined by the investigator, such as uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes, severe renal insufficiency, severe pulmonary dysfunction, etc.;
10. Active HBV or HCV infection (HBV-DNA positive or HCV-RNA positive), HIV positive, or syphilis positive;
11. Other severe or persistent active infections;
12. Severity of adverse events related to previous systemic immunotherapy (including other investigational drugs or medical device interventions) at screening not reduced to grade 1 or baseline status;
13. Discontinuation of immunosuppressants within 2 weeks prior to screening;
14. History of allergy to any component of the cell product;
15. Vaccination or any surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to screening;

Experimental group

Description:

In this study, we adopted a 3+3 design with dose escalation. Initially, three dose groups were established: 2.0×10\^7, 6.0×10\^7, and 2.0×10\^8 cells/kg. Each dose group received treatment on Days 0, 3, and 6 through i.v. injection, with bone marrow examination performed on Day 7 to assess tumor burden. Upon assessment by the investigators and discussion with the Safety Review Committee (SRC), it will be determined that whether patients may benefit from additional infusions. With SRC approval, the number of administrations could be increased, not exceeding a maximum of six doses. At the end of dose escalation, the SRC may decide to adjust the number of participants in the designated dose group as deemed appropriate.
