Group Intervention Description Phase 1: Medium dose group KQ-2003 CAR T-cells Infusion of KQ-2003 CAR T-cells by single dose of 2.0×10\^6 CAR-T cells/kg Phase 1: High dose group KQ-2003 CAR T-cells Infusion of KQ-2003 CAR T-cells by single dose of 3.0×10\^6 CAR-T cells/kg Phase 2a: RP2D KQ-2003 CAR T-cells After all subjects in the Phase 1 dose-escalation study completed DLT observation, RP2D was determined based on the analysis results for the phase 2a expansion study. Phase 1: Low dose group KQ-2003 CAR T-cells Infusion of KQ-2003 CAR T-cells by single dose of 1.0×10\^6 CAR-T cells/kg
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Objective response rate (ORR) Through study completion, an average of 2 years The definition of ORR is the proportion of subjects achieving sCR, CR, VGPR, or PR confirmed by efficacy reassessment after a minimum interval of three months. ORR is calculated as (sCR+CR+VGPR+PR) divided by the total number of cases, multiplied by 100%.
Number of patients with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) Within 28 days of receiving KQ-2003 CAR T-cells transfusion therapy For DLT evaluation, severity (grade) is classified according to common terminology criteria for adverse events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0).
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Within 28 days of receiving KQ-2003 CAR T-cells transfusion therapy At least 6 subjects in the MTD dose group must complete the DLT assessment.
Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) Through study completion, an average of 1 year To determine after all subjects in the Phase 1 dose-escalation study completed DLT observation
Adverse Event Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1) Safety will be assessed by adverse events (AEs), which include clinically significant abnormalities identified during a medical test (e.g. laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, vital signs, physical examinations). AEs will be coded by Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) and their severity will be graded according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 5.0).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Stringent complete response rate (sCRR) Through study completion, an average of 2 years The definition of sCRR is the proportion of subjects achieving sCR confirmed by efficacy re-assessment after a minimum interval of three months.
Progression-free Survival (PFS) Through study completion, an average of 2 years 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 to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1) Blood and bone marrow samples will be collected and used for pharmacokinetics
ADA Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1) The trial will evaluate the positive rate, titer and duration or persistence of ADA following the administration of CAR T-Cells.
Duration of Response (DOR) Through study completion, an average of 2 years DOR will be calculated among responders from the date of initial documentation of a response to the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease.
Overall Survival (OS) Through study completion, an average of 2 years OS is the time from the start of cell infusion to the death of the subject.
Maximum concentration (Cmax) Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1) Blood and bone marrow samples will be collected and used for pharmacokinetics assessments.
Levels of IFN-γ Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1) Blood samples will be collected and used for pharmacodynamic to evaluate the levels about cytokine levels
Disease Control Rate (DCR) Through study completion, an average of 2 years The proportion of subjects achieving sCR, CR, VGPR, PR, MR, or disease stability (SD) confirmed by efficacy reassessment after a minimum interval of three months is defined as the DCR.
Microscopic Residual Disease (MRD) Negativity Rate and Duration Through study completion, an average of 2 years The duration of MRD negativity is the period during which both bone marrow MRD and imaging remain negative.
Levels of IL-6 Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1) Blood samples will be collected and used for pharmacodynamic to evaluate the levels about cytokine levels
CD8+T lymphocyte count Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1) Blood samples will be collected and used for pharmacodynamic to evaluate the levels about peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets
Nab Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1) The trial will evaluate the positive rate, titer and duration or persistence of Nab following the administration of CAR T-Cells.
CD4+T lymphocyte count Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1) Blood samples will be collected and used for pharmacodynamic to evaluate the levels about peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets
