CD19 CAR-T Expressing IL7 and CCL19 Combined With PD1 mAb for Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma

Phase 1

• Conditions: Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma
• Interventions: Biological: CD19-7×19 CAR-T plus PD1 monoclonal antibody

• Registration Number: NCT04381741
• Lead Sponsor: Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University

Brief Summary

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, accounting for 35% of lymphoma. Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy is a new method to treat DLBCL. KTE-C19, published in the New England Medical Journal in December 2017, was used to treat relapsed and refractory B-cell lymphoma. One year of treatment for 111 patients, the total response rate was 82%, and the complete remission rate was 54%. However, a large number of clinical studies have shown that about 20% of patients with B-ALL and 50% of patients with B-NHL cannot achieve complete remission (CR) after CD19-CAR-T treatment. Targeting tumor microenvironment is an important new method to overcome the drug resistance of CAR-T cells. In this study, IL-7 and CCL19 were connected on the basis of traditional second generation CD19 CAR-T cells to construct novel fourth generation CAR-T cells, which can promote the infiltration, accumulation and survival of CAR-T cells in lymphoma tissue, and further enhance the anti-tumor effect of traditional CAR-T cells. At the same time, combined with four generations of CAR-T cells and PD1 monoclonal antibody, PD1 / PDL1 signal pathway was blocked, anti-tumor effect of CAR-T was improved, and immune response and long-term remission rate of DLBCL were improved.
