Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IFN-α combined with CAR-T cell therapy in relapsed and refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R ALL).

Detailed description

This is a phase 2, single-center study. The patients will receive IFN-α combined with infusion of CAR T-cells in R/R B-ALL patients. The study participation will be 5 years including treatment and follow-up periods.

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCTIFN-α combined with CAR-T cell therapy

Adults: 14 daily intramuscular injections 300 million IU of Interferon-α for a 28-day cycle. Children: 14 daily intramuscular injections 200mg/m\^2 of Interferon-α for a 28-day cycle. CAR T cell: (1-2)×10\^7/kg, intravenously infusion.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall response rate (ORR)2 yearsORR includes CR, CRi, MLFS and PR. Complete remission (CR):Bone marrow blasts \<5%; absence of circulating blasts and blasts with Auer rods; absence of extramedullary disease; absolute neutrophil count \>1.0x 10\^9/L; platelet count \>100x10\^9/L. CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi):All CR criteria except for residual neutropenia (\<1.0x10\^9/L) or thrombocytopenia (\<100x10\^9/L). Morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS): Bone marrow blasts \<5%; absence of blasts with Auer rods; absence of extramedullary disease; no hematologic recovery required. Partial remission (PR): All hematologic criteria of CR; decrease of bone marrow blast percentage to 5% to 25%; and decrease of pretreatment bone marrow blast percentage by at least 50%.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall survival (OS)2 yearstime from enrollment to the date of death from any cause
Leukemia-free survival (LFS)2 yearstime from enrollment to the date of primary refractory disease, or relapse from CR, or death from any cause
Cumulative incidence of relapse(CIR)2 yearstime from the date of achievement of a remission until the date of relapse
the duration of CAR-T cells in patients2 yearsthe time of CAR-T cells' persistence in blood and the copies of CAR-T cells
Number of adverse events2 yearsadverse events are evaluated with CTCAE V5.0
