Brief summary

This is a clincal trial initiated by investigator to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-CD5 CAR-NK in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory T-Cell hematologic malignancies.

Detailed description

This study is a single-arm, open-label, dose-finding and expansion clinical trial aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of anti-CD5 CAR-NK therapy for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory T-Cell hematologic malignancies. The goal is to determine the recommended dose of CAR-NK cell therapy for these conditions. The study includes three dose groups: 1×10⁷ CAR-positive cells/kg, 3×10⁷ CAR-positive cells/kg, and 5×10⁷ CAR-positive cells/kg. Each patient will initially receive a single infusion of CAR-NK cells on Day 0. If a suboptimal response is observed after the first infusion (assessed by Day 28) and the safety profile remains acceptable, a second infusion may be administered as a remedial dose after Day 28. The investigaors have the flexibility to adjust the second infusion dose based on the subject's condition.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALAnti-CD5 CAR NK cells

Each patient will initially receive a single infusion of CAR-NK cells on Day 0. If a suboptimal response is observed after the first infusion (assessed by Day 28) and the safety profile remains acceptable, a second infusion may be administered as a remedial dose after Day 28. CAR-NK cells need to be controlled within 70 minutes from thawing to infusion completion.

Refractory to ≥2 cycles of standard induction chemotherapy (failure to achieve CR). 2. Relapsed within 12 months after achieving CR with first-line induction therapy. 3. Failure to achieve CR or relapse after ≥2 lines of chemotherapy. 4. Relapse after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). 2. T-cell Lymphoma Patients: Confirmed diagnosis of T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) or T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (including but not limited to: peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL), T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL), adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), mycosis fungoides/Sézary syndrome (MF/SS) stage IIB or higher), and meets both: 1. At least one bidimensionally measurable lesion per Lugano 2014 criteria: nodal lesions \>1.5 cm in long axis; extranodal lesions \>1.0 cm in long axis. 2. Refractory to ≥2 lines of chemotherapy, primary resistance, or relapse post-HSCT. 3.CD5 Positivity: Confirmed by flow cytometry (≥80% tumor cells express CD5 with mean fluorescence intensity \[MFI\] equivalent to normal T cells; Dim defined as MFI ≥1 log lower than normal T cells; partial positivity defined as 20-80% tumor cells expressing CD5) or immunohistochemistry (\>30% tumor cells express CD5). 4.ECOG Performance Status: 0-2 . 5.Life Expectancy: ≥12 weeks. 6.Organ Function: <!-- --> 1. Cardiac: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50% by echocardiography; no significant ECG abnormalities. 2. Renal: Serum creatinine ≤2.0×ULN. 3.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-Free-Survival (PFS) after CAR-NK infusion2 yearsPFS is the time from CAR-NK cell infusion to disease progression or death from any cause, capturing both tumor control and survival outcomes
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]28 dyasThe incidence of adverse events after CAR-NK cell infusion was assessed by CTCAE, version 5.0.
Objective response rate (ORR)1month, 2 months, 3 monthsObjective Response Rate (ORR) within 3 Months: 1. For patients with T-cell lymphoma, ORR includes complete response (CR) and partial response (PR); 2. For patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), ORR includes CR, CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh), CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), and morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS).
Overall survival (OS) after CAR-NK infusion2 yearsOS is defined as the time from CAR-NK cell infusion to death from any cause, reflecting the long-term survival benefit of the therapy.
Duration of response (DOR) after CAR-NK infusion2 yearsDOR measures the time from the first achievement of objective response to disease progression or death, evaluating the durability of treatment efficacy in responding patients.
