Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single-centre, single-arm, open-label, first-in-human (FIH) study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of universal Off-the-shelf CAR-NK cells targeted CD123 (JD123 injection) in the treatment of refractory or relapsed CD123-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Description:

This is a dose-escalation study of CD123-targeted chimeric antigen receptor modified natural killer cells (CAR-NK) derived from a healthy donor. The relapsed/refractory AML patients will receive FC (F, Fludarabine, C, Cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy followed by infusion of JD123 injections. No graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prevention will be conducted before or after infusion. Dose-limiting toxicity, incidence of adverse events, disease response and PK/PD will be detected post-infusion.

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria:

1. Age = 18 years old, no gender or race;

2. Expected survival period = 3 months;

3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 to 2;

4. The diagnosis of AML with bone marrow biopsy, immunohistochemistry or Flow cytometry definitively positive for CD123 and met the following criteria: A. Diagnostic criteria for relapsed AML: after complete remission (CR), leukemia cells reappeared in peripheral blood or blast cells in bone marrow = 5% (except for other reasons such as bone marrow regeneration after consolidation chemotherapy) or extramedullary leukemia cell infiltration; B. Diagnostic criteria for refractory AML: naive patients who were ineffective after 2 courses of standard regimens; patients relapsed within 12 months who underwent consolidation and intensive therapy after CR; patients relapsed after 12 months but were ineffective after conventional chemotherapy; Patients with two or more relapses; patients with persistent extramedullary leukemia; Patients relapsed after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) C. Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) positive only or relapse: Patient is minimal residual disease (MRD) positive, as assessed on bone marrow aspirate (BMA) by Multiparameter Flow Cytometry (MFC) at time of Treatment Eligibility assessment.

5. Adequate organ function:

A. Liver function: ALT=3×ULN, AST=3×ULN, total bilirubin=2×ULN; B. Coagulation function:

international normalized ratio (INR) or activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) = 1.5×ULN; C. Renal function: serum creatinine=1.5×ULN or creatinine clearance rate =30mL/min; D. Cardiac function: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) = 50%; 6. Women of child-bearing potential and all male participants must use effective methods of contraception for at least 12 months after infusion.; 7. Informed Consent/Assent: All subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

2. Known contraindication to the protocol defined lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimen of fludarabine/cyclophosphamide;

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

4. Any active infection requiring systemic therapy by intravenous infusion within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug, including: HBV, HCV, HIV, syphilis infection, or active pulmonary tuberculosis.

5. History of hypersensitivity reactions to murine protein-containing products, or macromolecular biopharmaceuticals such as antibodies or cytokines;

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

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

8. Suffering from a serious autoimmune disease or immunodeficiency disease; 9 Suffering from mental illness;

10. Known alcohol dependence or drug dependence; 11. According to the investigator's judgment, the patient has other unsuitable grouping conditions. -
