Engineered immune cells aim to wipe out stubborn leukemia

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. The patient himself or his guardian agrees to participate in this clinical trial and signs the Informed Consent Form (ICF), indicating that he understands the purpose and procedures of this clinical trial and is willing to participate in the research; 2.

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-1 points ; 6. Expected survival is ≥ 12 weeks; 7. The function of important organs is basically normal: 1. Cardiac function: echocardiography showed cardiac ejection fraction ≥50%, and no obvious abnormality was found on electrocardiogram; 2. Renal function: serum creatinine≤2.0×ULN; 3. Liver function: Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) ≤5.0×ULN; 4. Total bilirubin≤2.0×ULN (for Gilbert syndrome, total bilirubin≤3.0×ULN); 5.

Exclusion Criteria: 1. Relapse of isolated extramedullary disease; 2. Active central nervous system leukemia at screening, defined as Central Nervous System (CNS)-grade 2 and 3 according to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines (note: those with central nervous system involvement but improved after treatment can be included); 3. Those who have received CAR-T therapy or other gene-modified cell therapy before screening; 4. Received anti-CD19 drug treatment before screening; 5. Received the following anti-tumor treatments before screening: Received chemotherapy, targeted therapy and other drug treatments within 14 days or at least 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter); Received radiotherapy within 14 days; 6. HBsAg or HBcAb positive and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA is greater than the normal range; hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody is positive and HCV RNA greater than the normal range; HIV antibody positive; syphilis positive; Cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA positive; 7. Have any of the following heart conditions: 1. New York Heart Association (NYHA) stage III or IV congestive heart failure; 2. Myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass grafting within 6 months prior to enrollment (CABG); 3. Clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia, or history of syncope of unknown origin (by vasovagal except those caused by menstruation or dehydration); 4. History of severe non-ischemic cardiomyopathy; 8. Active infection or uncontrollable infection requiring systemic treatment within 1 week before screening; 9.

Cerebrovascular accident or epileptic seizure within 6 months before screening; 11. Active autoimmune diseases； 12. Patients with malignant tumors other than acute lymphoblastic leukemia within 5 years before screening, except for fully treated cervical carcinoma in situ, basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, local prostate cancer after radical resection, and duct in situ after radical resection cancer; 13. Received live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before screening; 14. Participated in other interventional clinical studies before screening, including: the last use of unmarketed new drugs is less than 3 months from the time of cell reinfusion, or the last use of marketed drugs is less than 5 half-lives from the time of cell reinfusion; 15. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and male or female subjects who plan to have children within 1 year after receiving pCAR-19B cell reinfusion; 16. Other investigators deem it inappropriate to participate in the study.
