Safety Study of CC312 in Adult Patients With Relapsed/Refractory CD19 Positive B-cell Hematologic Malignancies
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, PK, PD and immunogenicity of CC312 following intravenous doses of CC312 in patients with relapsed and refractory (r/r) CD19 expressing B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and B-cell lymphocytic leukemia.

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
This study is an accelerated dose titration design divided into 2 parts.
Part 1 of the study is an accelerated dose-escalation design involving 5 dose levels: 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, 2.4 and 4.8 mcg given intravenously (IV) with cohorts of one patient per dose level. Patients in this part will receive 1 priming dose (D-7) and 1 intermediate dose of CC312 (D-3) on the first week, followed by twice weekly dosing of escalated dose for three weeks beginning on the second week. The dose limiting toxicity (DLT) observation period will be 28 days. The optimal priming dose and intermediate dose level will be determined in this part.
Part 2-A will follow a standard 3 + 3 dose escalation design using five dose levels: 9.6, 16, 24, 34 and 45 μg to obtain data on the safety and tolerability of CC312. Patients in this part will receive priming dose and intermediate dose of CC312 established in Part 1 before given the treatment dose. MTD or RP2D will be determined in Part 2-A and tested in expanded population(Part 2-B).
Part 2-B is planned for cohorts of 6-10 patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma or B-cell lymphocytic leukemia receiving priming/ treatment dose levels as defined in the Part 1 and Part 2-A study.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) [From the first infusion of CC312 till the end of the 28 days DLT（Dose Limiting Toxicity）observation period.]
Toxicity will be evaluated according to the NCI CTCAE, Version 5.0, except CRS which will be graded according to ASTCT Consensus Grading for CRS.
- Incidence and severity of adverse event (AE) [From the first infusion of CC312 until 28 days following the end of treatment.]
Overall numbers of participants with any AE, including any laboratory abnormality, treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE), and serious adverse events (SAE). Severity (toxicity grade) for each AE will be determined using the NCI CTCAE, version 5.0; except cytokine release syndrom (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) which will be graded according to ASTCT Consensus Grading.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Pharmacokinetics (PK): serum concentration [Cycle 1: baseline (Day -10~Day -8); 1 hour-pre-dose and multiple-timepoints-post-dose; Cycle 2 and subsequent cycle: 1 hour-pre-dose; after the end of treatment (EOT)/withdraw/at the end of study (EOS). Length of each cycle: 28 days.]
Blood samples will be collected to analysis serum concentration of CC312. Derived PK parameters will be calculated using the non-compartmental model.
- Pharmacodynamics (PD): cytokine analysis [Cycle 1: baseline (Day -10~Day -8); 1 hour-pre-dose and multiple-timepoints-post-dose; Cycle 2 and subsequent cycle: 1 hour-pre-dose; after the end of treatment (EOT)/withdraw/at the end of study (EOS). Length of each cycle: 28 days.]
Peripheral blood will be collected for CRS-related cytokine analysis in all dose escalation cohorts.
- Pharmacodynamics (PD): immunophenotyping [Cycle 1: baseline (Day -10~Day -8); 1 hour-pre-dose and multiple-timepoints-post-dose; Cycle 2 and subsequent cycle: 1 hour-pre-dose; after the end of treatment (EOT)/withdraw/at the end of study (EOS). Length of each cycle: 28 days.]
Peripheral blood will be collected for immunophenotyping (including the activation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and depletion of B cells) in all dose escalation cohorts.
- Immunogenicity: anti-CC312 antibody [Cycle 1: baseline (Day -10~Day -8); 1 hour-pre-dose on Day-7/Day 8. Cycle 2 and subsequent cycle: within 1 hour before infusion on Day 1/Day 15; after the end of treatment (EOT)/withdraw/at the end of study (EOS). Length of each cycle: 28 days.]
The proportions of participants with positive anti-drug antibody (ADA) status and those with positive neutralizing anti-drug antibody (NAb) status will be presented by descriptive statistics.
Other Outcome Measures
- Tumor response to CC312 [From the first infusion of CC312 until 28 days following the end of treatment.]
B-NHL, B-ALL and CLL will be evaluated by Lugano criteria, NCCN Guidelines 2021, and iwCLL guidelines 2008, respectively. Therapeutic endpoints includes: overall response rate [ORR] (including complete remission [CR] and partial remission [PR]), duration of overall response [DOR], disease control rate [DCR], and relapse-free survival [RFS] in participants.
