About

This study aims to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) redirected autologous T-cells in treating patients with recurrent or refractory CD19 positive B cell ccute lymphoblastic leukemia,and dynamically observe the changes of CAR-T in patients and the residual tumor.

Full description

In this single-center, open-label, single-arm, prospective clinical trial, a total of 20 recurrent or refractory CD19+ B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients will be enrolled.After recruiting eligible patients,autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) will be purified from whole blood.The CD3+ T cells were subsequently selected and re-stimulated by anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 monoclonal antibodies.T cells will be transduced with lentiviral vector for the generation of the CD19 CART cell and administered by i.v. injection.The purpose of current study is to determine the safety and clinical efficacy of CD19 CAR T cells therapy in patients with recurrent or refractory CD19+ ALL.

Enrollment: 20 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 14 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

• CD19 expression on the surface of B-ALL cells must be detected
• KPS>80
• Life expectancy >3 months
• Patients must have adequate cardiac function (no electrocardiogram with obvious abnormality, LVEF≥50%),adequate pulmonary function as indicated by room air oxygen saturation of > 90%, and adequate renal function (Cr≤2.5 times of the normal range)

20 participants in 1 patient group

B-ALL treated with CD19 CART cell

Experimental group

Description:

The qualified CD19-targeted CART cells will be transferred to patient for 3 days as follow:D1,10% fraction;D2,30%;D3 60%. The number of CART cells for each course will be about 1×106/kg. If complete response (CR) or complete response with incomplete hemogram recovery (CRi) in hemogram is achieved after the first course of treatment, further treatment will be decided according to the clinical assessment and the wishes of the patient.If partial response (PR) is achieved after the first course, 1 or 2 courses of treatment will be continued. If there is no response (NR) after the first course, the treatment will be ceased or restarted based on the clinical assessment or patients' wishes. Treatent may be discontinued due to any severe toxicity, such as cytokine release syndrom.
