Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single-center, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-CD123 CAR-T cells in patients with refractory/relapsed CD123+ Acute Myeloid Leukemia.


Description:

CD123 is a transmembrane subunit of the IL-3 receptor expressed on AML blasts. The investigators have conducted a third generationCD123-targeted CAR containing CD137 and CD28 costimulatory domains.This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-CD123 CAR-T cells in patients with relapsed/refractory CD123+ Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

The patients did not receive any anticancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy (such as immunosuppressive drugs) within 4 weeks before admission, and the toxicity related to previous treatments had returned to < 1 level at admission (except for low toxicity such as alopecia).

7. Women of child-bearing potential and all male participants must use effective methods of contraception for at least 12 months after infusion.

8. Informed Consent/Assent: All subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Women who are pregnant (urine/blood pregnancy test positive) or lactating.

2. Male or female with a conception plan in the past 1 years.

3. Patients cannot guarantee effective contraception (condom or contraceptives, etc.) within 1 years after enrollment.

4. Uncontrolled infectious disease within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.

5. Active hepatitis B/C virus.

6. HIV infected patients.

7. Suffering from a serious autoimmune disease or immunodeficiency disease.

8. The patient is allergic and is allergic to macromolecular biopharmaceuticals such as antibodies or cytokines.

9. The patient participated in other clinical trials within 6 weeks prior to enrollment.

10. Systemic use of hormones within 4 weeks prior to enrollment (except for patients with inhaled corticosteroids).

11. Suffering from mental illness.

12. Patient has drug abuse/addiction.

13. Central nervous system involvement.

14. According to the investigator's judgment, the patient has other unsuitable grouping conditions.

Study Design


Intervention

Biological:
Third-generation anti-CD123 CAR-T cells
From the minimum dose, If no DLT emerges in the group, then the next group uses the subsequent higher dose. If DLT emerges in a single subject in any dose level, 3 more subjects will be enrolled to the same dose level.
