This study is testing a new type of treatment called anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy for adults with certain blood cancers that have returned or did not respond to previous treatments. CAR-T cells are a type of immune cell that is specially designed in a lab to target and destroy cancer cells with a marker called CD19. The main goals of this study are to find out if this treatment is safe, how well patients tolerate it, and how effective it is at controlling cancer. The study will include 60 adults, ages 18-70, who meet specific criteria for participation. Patients will first receive a short course of chemotherapy to prepare their bodies for the CAR-T cells. The CAR-T cells will then be given in two doses through an IV. Patients will be monitored closely in the hospital for about a month to check for any side effects and see how their cancer responds. The researchers will also follow up with patients over time to learn more about how long the CAR-T cells stay active, how well they fight cancer, and the overall health of the patients after treatment.
This Phase I/II open-label, single-arm clinical trial evaluates the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy in adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders, including B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy uses genetically modified T cells engineered to recognize and destroy cancer cells with the CD19 antigen. The investigational therapy utilizes second-generation CAR-T cells. The primary objective of the study is to assess the overall response rate (ORR) at Day 28. In contrast, secondary objectives include evaluating progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DoR), and overall survival (OS). The trial will recruit 60 participants between 18 and 70 years old who meet specific eligibility criteria, including CD19 expression on tumor cells and adequate organ function. Participants will first undergo lymphodepletion to prepare their immune systems for CAR-T cell infusion. The CAR-T therapy will be administered in two doses via intravenous infusion. This dosing regimen is designed to optimize safety and maximize therapeutic benefit. The treatment period includes close inpatient monitoring for at least 14 days, followed by additional outpatient assessments. Safety and tolerability are key components of the study, with close observation for potential side effects such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Other safety measures include evaluating organ function, monitoring for infections, and assessing the presence of antibodies against CAR-T cells. Efficacy will be determined based on tumor responses, measured as complete or partial remission, and by tracking the persistence and expansion of CAR-T cells in the blood. This study is being conducted at a single clinical center in Russia and is sponsored by the National Medical Research Center of Hematology, Ministry of Health of Russia. The expected duration for each participant is approximately 53 days, with long-term follow-up planned to evaluate the durability of treatment responses and overall survival outcomes. The findings from this study will help determine whether anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy is a viable treatment option for patients with difficult-to-treat B-cell blood cancers.
