Clinical Trial Summary

This is a phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of pCAR-19B in adults with relapsed or refractory B-ALL, and to obtain the maximum tolerated dose of pCAR-19B and phase II Recommended dose.

Description:

This is a single-center, single-arm, open-label study. The study plans to set up 3 dose groups, adopting a dose-escalating 3+3 design, and plan to recruit about 9-18 adults with relapsed or refractory B-ALL.pCAR-19B will be infused to the subject by intravenous infusion.
