Relapsed or Refractory EBV-associated Hematological Malignancies

Keywords

EBV, hematological malignancies

Brief summary

The main purpse of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of KSD-101 in the treatment of relapsed or refractory EBV-associated hematological malignancies,to preliminarily explore the clinical efficacy ,evaluate the immune response to KSD-101 for the treatment in Patients with EBV-associated hematological diseases and the improvement in subjects' quality of life (QOL) after KSD-101 treatment.

Detailed description

This is a multi-center, single-arm, open-label, dose confirmation and expansion Phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immune response, and preliminary clinical efficacy of KSD-101 in the treatment of relapsed or refractory EBV-associated hematological malignancies. The study is divided into three stages by age.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALKSD-101

Patients will receive DC vaccine via subcutaneous injections bi-weekly,total 3-5 times. KSD-101 treatment dose: The dose is tentatively set at 2.5 or 5.0 × 10\^6 cells/dose in the adult cohort.

The EBV-associated lymphoma population must have at least one measurable lesion (lymph node lesion with a longest diameter \> 15 mm, or extranodal lesion with a longest diameter \> 10 mm). 7. Eligible for leukapheresis and has no other contraindications for cell collection. 8. Must have adequate organ function (have not received blood transfusion or hematopoietic stimulating factor therapy within 28 days): * Hematology test: Monocyte count ≥ 0.1 × 10\^9/L, neutrophil count ≥ 1.2 × 10\^9/L, hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L, platelet count ≥ 90 × 10\^9/L * Liver function: ALT, AST ≤ 2.5 × ULN and TBIL ≤ 1.5 × ULN \[for patients with liver metastases: ALT, AST ≤ 5 × ULN and TBIL≤ 2 × ULN\] * Kidney function: Creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN (if creatinine \> 1.5 ULN, creatinine clearance \> 60 mL/mins is required) (The Cockcroft-Gault formula) * Pulmonary function: pulse oximetry ≥94% * Coagulation function: Fibrinogen ≥ 1.0 g/L, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN * Cardiac function: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% during the screening period 9. Male and female subjects of reproductive age agree to take non-pharmacological contraceptive measures from signing the ICF until 6 months after the last dose.

Exclusion criteria

1. Received chemotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy within 4 weeks prior to leukapheresis or radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to leukapheresis. 2. Underwent allogeneic transplantation prior to enrollment. 3. Received (attenuated) live vaccines within 4 weeks prior to enrollment. 4. Participated in other clinical studies within 4 weeks prior to enrollment and received at least one dose of the investigational product. 5. Underwent therapeutic surgery within 4 weeks prior to enrollment, or plan to undergo major surgery during the study, except diagnostic, biopsy and drainage procedures. 6. Presence of uncontrolled infectious disease within 4 weeks prior to enrollment, except EBV infection. 7. Receiving systemic corticosteroid therapy prior to screening and require long-term systemic corticosteroids during the treatment period (except inhalation or topical application) as judged by the investigator, or received systemic corticosteroid therapy (except inhalation or topical application) within 72 hours prior to administration. 8.

Design outcomes

MeasureTime frameDescription
DLTThe duration from the first dose to Day 28Incidence and number of dose-limiting toxicities.
adverse events (AEs)Any adverse medical event occurring from the initiation of leukapheresis until 28 days (±7 days) after the last dose, or initiation of a new treatment (whichever occurs first)Adverse events will be graded according to the NCI-CTCAE 6.0 grading criteria throughout the study period, except for injection site (localized) adverse events, which will be graded with reference to the Guiding Principles for Grading Adverse Events in Vaccine Clinical Trials (Revised Edition).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
