An Exploratory Clinical Trial of Autologous Humanized Anti-cluster of Differentiation Antigen 19/20(CD19/CD20) Dual Specific CAR-T Cells Injection
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a single-arm, open-label, dose escalation, phase I study, aiming to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Autologous Humanized Anti-CD19 and Anti-CD20 Dual Specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cells in patient with relapsed or refractory diffuse B cell lymphoma.

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
CD19 CAR-T cell therapy has made breakthroughs in the treatment of B cell lymphoma and leukemia, but 30% of patients still have antigen escape, which may be related to variants in tumor cells and the expansion of CD19-negative tumor cells after treatment with CD19 CAR-T cells. CD19/CD20 bispecific CAR-T cell targeting multiple antigens can attack tumor cells while overcoming tumor antigen escape caused by a single target, maximizing efficacy and duration of treatment, and can also solve the problem of uneven distribution or low expression of single target on the tumor surface.

Biological: Autologous humanized anti-CD19 and anti-CD20 dual specific CAR-T Cells
Autologous Humanized Anti-CD19 and Anti-CD20 Dual Specific CAR-T Cells injection. Within 3 to 5 days after the pretreatment, the subjects received a single A-02 reinfusion, the infusion dose of each group of subjects 1.00 × 10^6/kg, 3.00 × 10^6/kg or 5.00 × 10^6/kg (if applicable), it is recommended to complete the infusion within 30 min after cell recovery.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The types and Incidence of adverse events [Up to 12 months]
Adverse events at each visit with the NCI CTCAE v5.0 used as a guide for the grading of severity.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Duration of overall response [Up to 12 months]
Time from the first occurrence of CR (complete response) or PR (partial response) to the first diagnosis of PD (progressive disease)or recurrence.
- Overall survival [Up to 12 months]
Time from randomization to death due to any cause
- Progression-free survival [Up to 12 months]
Time from enrollment to tumor progression or death.
- Objective response rate [Up to 12 months]
The proportion of CR (complete response) and PR (partial response).
- Duration of response [Up to 12 months]
Duration of response is defined as the time from the date of first occurrence of CR (complete response) or PR (partial response) to the date of the first documented PD (progressive disease) or death due to any cause.
