About this trial

This is a single center, open-label, dose-escalation/expansion clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Fourth-Generation CAR-T, and determine the recommended dose of the CAR T-cells for patients with Multiple Myeloma,B-cell lymphoma and other hematologic malignancies.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

White blood cell count ≥ 3.0 × 10e9/L; Absolute neutrophil ≥ 1.0 × 10e9/L; Lymphocyte count ≥ 0.5 × 10e9/L. (The growth factor support is allowed, but growth factor must not have been received within 7 days prior to laboratory testing);

Platelet count ≥ 50 × 10e9/L (No blood transfusion support within 7 days prior to laboratory tests.); Note: Patients with leukemia, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma are not subject to the above blood picture requirements;

Biochemical indicators Serum total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 2.5 ULN, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 ULN, or 5 ULN if liver dysfunction is primarily due to tumor invasion); 6. Cardiac function: Subjects must have good hemodynamic stability, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 55%; 7. Lung condition: Subjects are not serious infections such as severe pneumonia; 8. ECOG activity status score: 0-2 points; 9. Female subjects must use effective contraception (such as oral prescription contraceptives, injectable contraceptives, intrauterine devices, double blockade, contraceptive patches, male partner sterilization) throughout the study period; Must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test result at screening and throughout the study.

Disqualifiers

Having received CAR-T therapy targeting the same molecule;

Having received other immunotargeted therapy targeting the same molecules;

Pregnant or lactating women;

Having received curative therapy, and no known active disease in the ≥ 3 years prior to the enrollment;

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • CAR-T

    Biological/Vaccine

    CAR T-cell therapy involves autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cells, capable of targeting human B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) ,CD19 or CD-7 etc. target molecules of other hematologic malignancies.

Treatment groups

60 Participants
are divided into 4 treatment groups
Group A: Phase 1:Low dose groupExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Phase 1: Medium dose groupExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group C: Phase 1: High dose groupExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group D: Phase 2a: RP2DExperimental treatment 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of patients with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)

For DLT evaluation, severity (grade) is classified according to common terminology criteria for adverse events version 4.03 (CTCAE v4.03).

Time frame
Within 30 days of receiving CAR T-cells transfusion therapy
2

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

At least 6 subjects in the MTD dose group must complete the DLT assessment.

Time frame
Within 30 days of receiving CAR T-cells transfusion therapy
3

Adverse Event

Safety will be assessed by adverse events (AEs), which include clinically significant abnormalities identified during medical tests (e.g. laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, imaging examinations or physical examinations). AEs will be coded by Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MeDRA) and their severity will be graded according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 4.03).

Time frame
Minimum 2 years after CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1)
4

Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D)

To determine after all subjects in the Phase 1 dose-escalation study completed DLT observation

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes

1

Stringent complete response rate (sCRR)

The definition of sCRR is the proportion of subjects achieving sCR confirmed by efficacy re-assessment after a minimum interval of three months. Efficacy assessment for multiple myeloma only.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 2 years
2

Progression-free Survival (PFS)

The time interval from the first administration of the investigational drug to the first observation of disease progression is calculated, considering the date of entry for patients who died for reasons other than disease progression before progression occurred.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 2 years
3

Overall Survival (OS)

OS is the time from the start of cell infusion to the death of the subject.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 2 years
