A Phase 1 Study Evaluating Safety and Efficacy of C-CAR011 Treatment in DLBCL Subjects

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
• Interventions: Biological: C-CAR-011

• Registration Number: NCT02976857
• Lead Sponsor: Shanghai AbelZeta Ltd.

Brief Summary

The trial is a single arm, single-center, non-randomized phase I clinical trial which is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of C-CAR011 in treatment of refractory DLBCL

Detailed Description

The 3x3 dose escalation design will be adopted in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Subjects will be enrolled into low-dose group, medium-dose group and high-dose group as below:

Dose CAR+ cells/kg

Low 0.8×106

Medium 2.5×106

High 5.0×106

DLT is evaluated within 30 days post C-CAR011 infusion).

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
C-CAR011	C-CAR-011	C-CAR011 infusion In the first cell therapy 0, 1 and 2 days, respectively 10%, 30% and 60% ratio three times reinfusion.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)	28 days	Non-haematological dose-limiting toxicities was any toxicity of grade 3 or higher occurring within 28 days of C-CAR011 infusion judged possibly related to the treatment regimen.The following toxicities were not considered dose limiting toxicities: tumor lysis syndrome, abnormal electrolytes responding to supplementation, hypoalbuminemia, liver dysfunction resolving to ≤grade 2 within 14 days, transient (\<72 hours) grade 4 hepatic enzyme abnormality, and grade 3 or 4 fever or neutropenic fever.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Overall response rate	4 and 12 weeks	Overall response rate (ORR) = complete response (CR) rate + partial response (PR) rate, ORR will be assessed at weeks 4 and weeks 12 according to International Working Group (IWG) revised criteria.
Disease control rate	12 weeks	Disease control rate (DCR） = complete response (CR) rate + partial response (PR) rate + stable disease (SD) rate, DCR will be assessed at weeks 12 according to International Working Group (IWG) revised criteria.
