• Registration Number: NCT04037566
• Lead Sponsor: Xijing Hospital

Brief Summary

This is a first-in-human trial proposed to test CD19-specific CAR-T cells with edited endogenous HPK1 (XYF19 CAR-T cells) in patients with relapsed or refractory CD19+ leukemia or lymphoma. This is an investigational study designed as a single-center, open-label and single-arm clinical trial.

Inclusion Criteria

• Subject must meet all the following criteria to be selected:

  1. Willing to provide consent/assent for participation in the study by patient or his/her legal guardian;

  2. Male or Female subjects age ≥18 and ≤55 years;

  3. Evidence of relapsed/refractory CD19+ B cell hematological malignancies. The most common relapsed/refractory B cell hematological malignancies include: (1) B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL); (2) B cell lymphomas, including indolent B cell lymphoma (CLL, FL, MZL, LPL, HCL) and aggressive B cell lymphoma (DLBCL, BL, MCL)；

  4. Subjects (20 subjects of B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and 20 subjects of B cell lymphoma) with the following conditions:

     1. Failure to achieve complete remission (CR) after at least two lines of standard chemotherapy while not suitable for HSCT (auto/allo-HSCT)；
     2. Relapse after CR, but not eligible for HSCT (auto/allo-HSCT);
     3. Failure to achieve remission or relapse after HSCT;

  5. Leukemia patient confirmed by bone marrow aspiration that has not been alleviated; lymphoma patient with measurable or assessable lesions;

  6. Adequate organ function:

     1. Liver: ALT/AST ≥ 3 × ULN, total bilirubin ≤34.2 mol/L;
     2. Kidney: Creatinine<220 µmol/L, creatinine clearance rate (CCR) ≥ 60 mL/min;
     3. Lung: arterial oxygen saturation ≥95%;
     4. Heart: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥40%;
     5. Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) ≥ 100/μL, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/μL, platelets (PLT) ≥ 75,000/μL;

  7. No prior anti-cancer therapy, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy (immunosuppression) within 4 weeks prior to enrollment, and toxic reactions of all prior treatments recovered to grade ≤1 at the time of enrollment (except for low toxicity such as alopecia);

  8. Presence of smooth peripheral superficial venous blood flow to fulfill intravenous infusion;

  9. Karnofsky performance score ≥60; ECOG ≤2; estimated survival ≥3 months.

Study & Design

• Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Design: SINGLE_GROUP

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
XYF19 CAR-T cell	XYF19 CAR-T cell	One arm study consisting of "3 + 3" dose escalation study design followed by dose expansion phase at determined MTD.
XYF19 CAR-T cell	Fludarabine	One arm study consisting of "3 + 3" dose escalation study design followed by dose expansion phase at determined MTD.
XYF19 CAR-T cell	Cyclophosphamide	One arm study consisting of "3 + 3" dose escalation study design followed by dose expansion phase at determined MTD.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The adverse events associated with XYF19 CAR-T cells product will be assessed.	30 days	Determine safety profile of a single infusion of XYF19 CAR-T cells by monitoring the frequency and severity of adverse events assessed by the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 5.0). Occurrence of study related adverse events defined as NCI CTCAE v5.0 \> grade 3 possibly, probably, or definitely related to study treatment. Grade 1 Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated. Grade 2 Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate instrumental Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Grade 3 Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care ADL. Grade 4 Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5 Death related to adverse event.
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) as determined by dose limiting toxicity (DLT).	30 days	The MTD is defined as the dose level at which fewer than 33% of patients experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). The dose limiting toxicity is defined as CTCAE grades non-reversible grade 3, or any grade 4-5 allergic reactions related to the study cell infusion; CTCAE grades non-reversible grade 3, or any grade 4-5 autoimmune reactions related to the study cell infusion; or CTCAE grades non-reversible non-hematologic grade 3, or any grade 4-5 organ toxicity (cardiac, dermatologic, gastrointestinal, hepatic, pulmonary, renal/genitourinary, or neurologic) not pre-existing or due to the underlying malignancy and occurring within 30 days of study product infusion related to study cell infusion. The study will employ a standard 3+3 design to find the MTD of XYF19 CAR-T cells dose.
