Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single arm, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation, phase I study to determine the safety and efficacy of ssCART-19 in the treatment of patients with CD19 positive relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Description:

This is a single arm, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation, phase I study to determine the safety and efficacy of ssCART-19 in the treatment of patients with CD19 positive relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Primary objectives:

Determine the safety and tolerability of ssCART-19 cells in patients with refractory or relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Secondary objectives:

1. Observe the anti-tumor response of ssCART-19 cells to refractory or relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

• Overall remission rate (ORR) assessment during the 3 months after ssCART-19 administration，ORR includes CR and CRi

• Duration of response (DOR)

• Progression-free survival (PFS)

• Overall survival (OS)

2. To characterize the in vivo cellular pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ssCART-19 cells.

3. To characterize the pharmacodynamic (PD) profile of ssCART-19 cells.
