Brief summary
This is a single-arm, single-center, open-labeled clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of UCAR-T Cells injection for patients with relapsed/refractory(r/r) B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia(B-ALL).
Detailed description
Although the anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapies have gained significant clinical outcome in patients with r/r B-ALL,autologous CAR-T is not feasible for some patients. To make further improvement, the investigators are going to conduct a clinical trial using universal CAR-T(UCAR-T) cells targeting CD19 for r/r B-ALL patients. After enrollment, patients will get a 3-5 days lymphodepletion therapy, then the UCAR-T Cells will be infused by vein. Subjects will be followed for safety and efficacy up to 12 weeks. For those with a durable remission 12 weeks after infusion, the follow-up will last for at least 12 months for disease control.
Interventions
UCAR-T Cellswill be administered by vein. The trial includes two portions. The first portion is a3+3dose escalation study, in which three dose groups are set:Dose level one:1×10\^6 cells/kg;Dose level two:2×10\^6 cells/kg;Dose level three:5×10\^6 cells/kg. Each dose group requires at least three subjects. The trial will start from dose level one. The second portion includes a dosage extended cohort and will start after the finish of the3+3dose escalation study. Twelve subjects will get infusion of UCAR-T Cells at the best dose verified in the first portion.
