Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a single-center, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the primary safety and efficacy of anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)-modified NK cells(CAR-NK-CD19) in patients with relapsed or refractory hematological malignancies.
Detailed description
Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has shown remarkable clinical efficacy in B-cell cancers. However, CAR T cells can induce substantial toxic effects, and the manufacture of the cells is complex. Natural killer (NK) cells that have been modified to express an anti-CD19 CAR have the potential to overcome these limitations. Cord blood(CB) derived NK cells from healthy donor are the source for production of CAR-NK-CD19 cells. CB derived NK cells are purified and transduced with a retroviral vector encoding the anti-CD19 CAR and interleukin-15. This is an investigational study. The objectives are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CAR-NK-CD19 cells in patients with CD19+ B-cell malignancies.
Interventions
fludarabine 30 mg/kg on day -5, -4, and -3; cyclophosphamide 300 mg/kg on day -5, -4, and -3; CAR-NK-CD19 Cells on day 0.
