Brief summary
This is a Phase I/II interventional, open-label treatment study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of concomitant therapy with anti-CD19 CAR T-cells and Lenalidomide in adult patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who have been pretreated with Ibrutinib for 3 months prior to leukapheresis.
Detailed description
Patients receive ibrutinib 420 mg daily for 3 months before CAR T-cell infusion. Obinutuzumab 1000 mg is administered 14 days before leukapheresis to reduce circulating CLL cells. Lymphodepletion consists of fludarabine 25 mg/m² and cyclophosphamide 250 mg/m² on days -5 to -3. In a 3+3 dose-escalation design, patients receive a single infusion of 25 × 10⁶ (DL1), 50 × 10⁶ (DL2), or 100 × 10⁶ (DL3) autologous CD19 CAR T cells. Lenalidomide 10 mg is administered orally on days 0 through 6. At day 28, patients with measurable residual disease (MRD)-positive disease are eligible for lenalidomide 10 mg 1-14 days per os plus obinutuzumab 1000 mg IV 1,8,15 days on cycle 1 and on day 1 on 2-6 cycles consolidation, whereas patients with MRD-negative disease receive lenalidomide 10 mg per os 1-14 days maintenance for 3 cycles. The main purposes of the Phase I part are: * To preliminarily explore the safety (incidence of CRS, ICANS, HLH, infections, late ICAHT, and cytopenias) and tolerability. * To explore the pharmacokinetics of CAR-T cells. The main purposes of the Phase II part are: * Overall response rate, including complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) rates. * Progression-free survival rates. * Overall survival rates. * MRD negativity rates measured by flow cytometry.
