About this trial
This is a phase I/II clinical study in adult patients with refractory severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Eligible patients must meet the criteria for refractory SAA and have a platelet count (PLT) \<30 × 10\^9/L and/or hemoglobin (HGB) \<90 g/L at enrollment. If the phase I results demonstrate an acceptable safety profile and allow determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the phase II part will be initiated directly to evaluate the efficacy of isatuximab.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Diagnosed with primary acquired aplastic anemia according to the 2024 British Society for Haematology guideline, Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Adult Aplastic Anaemia, and the Chinese Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Aplastic Anemia (2022 edition) issued by the Hematology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association.
Previously diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) or very severe aplastic anemia (VSAA), with no response or relapse after receiving anti-thymocyte/anti-lymphocyte globulin (ATG/ALG) in combination with standard-dose cyclosporine for at least 6 months, and standard-dose thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) therapy for at least 4 months.
Hemoglobin <90 g/L or platelet count <30×10^9/L
Unsuitable for or unwilling to undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with no better available treatment options.
Disqualifiers
Diagnosed with congenital bone marrow failure syndromes
Bone marrow reticulin fibrosis grade ≥2

Treatments tested in this trial
Isatuximab
DrugPhase I: Eligible subjects will receive isatuximab at 5 mg/kg per dose or 10 mg/kg per dose. The treatment period will last 6 weeks. Isatuximab will be administered by intravenous infusion once weekly (QW) for six consecutive doses. Phase II: Eligible subjects will receive isatuximab by intravenous infusion once weekly for six consecutive doses. The specific dose will be the recommended phase II dose from the phase I part.
