About this trial
The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of universal CAR T cells based on 4SCAR7U design against CD7-positive hematological malignancies using CD7 specific universal CAR T cells. The study also aims to learn more about the function of CD7 targeting CAR T cells and their persistence in patients of hematological malignancies.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age older than 6 months.
Confirmed expression of CD7 and additional surface antigens in the cancer cells by immuno-histochemical staining or flow cytometry.
Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score is higher than 80 and life expectancy > 3 months.
Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements: cardiac ejection fraction ≥ 50%, oxygen saturation ≥ 90%, creatinine ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 × upper limit of normal, total bilirubin ≤ 2.0mg/dL.
Disqualifiers
