Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cells (CAR-T cells) have the capabilities to recognize tumor associated antigen and kill tumor cells specifically. CAR-T therapy showed great effect on patients with relapsed or refractory B cell malignancies. To improve the efficacy and safety, the researchers designed a second-generation humanized CAR, consisting of humanized CD19 single chain variable fragment (scFv) and CD137 costimulatory domain. This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of humanized anti-CD19 CAR-T cells in patients with relapsed or refractory B cell Malignancies.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of participants with adverse events [5 years]
Therapy-related adverse events were recorded and assessed according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, Version 4.0)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- One-month remission rate [1 month]
Response of B-ALL to CAR-T therapy was assessed on day 30 (±2), against the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN, Version 1.2015).
- Overall survival [5 years]
OS was calculated from the first CAR-T cell infusion to death or last follow-up (censored).
- Event-free survival [5 years]
EFS was calculated from the first CAR-T cell infusion to death, progression of the disease, relapse or gene recurrence, whichever came first, or last visit (censored).
- Relapse-free survival [5 years]
RFS was calculated from the first CAR-T cell infusion to relapse or last visit (censored).
- Rate of anti-CD19 CAR-T cells in bone marrow cells and peripheral blood cells [5 years]
In vivo (bone marrow and peripheral blood) rate of CAR-T cells were determined by means of flow cytometry.
- Quantity of anti-CD19 CAR-T cells in bone marrow cells and peripheral blood cells [5 years]
In vivo (bone marrow and peripheral blood) quantity of CAR-T cells were determined by means of flow cytometry.
- Quantity of anti-CD19 CAR copies in bone marrow cells and peripheral blood cells [5 years]
In vivo (bone marrow and peripheral blood) quantity of anti-CD19 CAR copies were determined by means of qPCR.
