About this trial
The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of universal CD7 CART (uCD7 CART) cells in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory CD7-positive hematologic malignancies. In this single-arm, open-label, single-center, Phase 1 clinical trial, two cohorts were set up: (1) relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cohort; and (2) relapsed and refractory T lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL/LBL) cohort. Each cohort was planned to enroll 4-12 patients. uCD7 CART cells will be administered intravenously to explore the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of each cohort using a 3+3 dose escalation and rapid titration design.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥18 and <70 years, regardless of gender;
T-ALL/LBL was diagnosed according to the criteria of NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines for Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (2020.v1) and T-cell Lymphoma Clinical Practice Guidelines (2020.v1);
Patients diagnosed with AML with reference to the Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia (2018 Edition) issued by the Health Commission;
Cytology confirmed that the tumor cells were CD7 positive.
Disqualifiers
acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL);
Presence of a genetic syndrome such as Fanconi's anemia, Kostmann's syndrome, Shwachman syndrome or any other known syndrome of bone marrow failure;
Patients with uncontrolled active central nervous system leukemia (CNSL), i.e. cerebrospinal fluid grades CNS 2 and CNS 3;
Systemic chemotherapy (except for pretreatment) within 1 week;
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
uCD7 CART
Biological/VaccineSubjects screened to meet the requirements for uCD7 CART use will enter clinical trials. Subjects were assessed at baseline. Fludarabine (Flu) and cyclophosphamide (CTX) based preconditioning should be performed within 1 week prior to uCD7 CART infusion: Flu 30mg/m2 ×3 days; CTX 500mg/m2 ×3 days. The investigator can adjust the pretreatment regimen appropriately according to the condition of the subject, such as increasing the dose of CTX to 600mg/m2 ×3 days, increasing the application of cytarabine and etoposide. Infusion of uCD7 CART must be performed 24 hours after completion of chemotherapy preconditioning. uCD7 CART can be infused at D-1 if the requirement of 24 hours after completion of preconditioning is met.
