Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single-arm, single-center, open-labeled clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LstCAR019 injection for patients with relapsed/refractory(r/r) B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia(B-ALL).

Description:

Although the anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapies have gained significant clinical outcome in patients with r/r B-ALL，autologous CAR-T is not feasible for some patients. To make further improvement, the investigators are going to conduct a clinical trial using universal CAR-T cells(LstCAR019) targeting CD19 for r/r B-ALL patients.

After enrollment, patients will get a 3-5 days lymphodepletion therapy, then the LstCAR019 will be infused by vein. Subjects will be followed for safety and efficacy up to 12 weeks. For those with a durable remission 12 weeks after infusion, the follow-up will last for at least 12 months for disease control.

Intervention

Biological:
• U-CAR-T Cells (LstCAR019)
LstCAR019 will be administered by vein. The trial includes two portions. The first portion is a"3+3"dose escalation study, in which three dose groups are set:Dose level one: 1×10^6 cells/kg;Dose level two: 2×10^6 cells/kg;Dose level three: 5×10^6 cells/kg. Each dose group requires at least three subjects. The trial will start from dose level one. The second portion includes a dosage extended cohort and will start after the finish of the"3+3"dose escalation study. Twelve subjects will get infusion of LstCAR019 at the best dose verified in the first portion.
