Efficacy and Safety of CD19-CAR.p40-T in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory CD19-Positive Hematologic Malignancies

CD19-directed CAR-T cell therapy has demonstrated significant antitumor activity in B-cell hematologic malignancies; however, relapse, insufficient persistence, and limited durability of response remain important clinical challenges. CD19-CAR.p40-T is a genetically modified autologous T-cell product designed to target CD19-positive malignant cells while incorporating autocrine p40 expression, with the aim of enhancing T-cell expansion, persistence, and antitumor activity in vivo. This study is a prospective, single-arm, Phase I/II clinical trial in patients with relapsed or refractory CD19-positive hematologic malignancies. After screening and leukapheresis, eligible participants will undergo manufacture of autologous CD19-CAR.p40-T cells. Before infusion, participants will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide to promote in vivo expansion and activity of the infused CAR-T cells. CD19-CAR.p40-T cells will then be administered as a single intravenous infusion. Following infusion, participants will undergo close safety monitoring, including evaluation for cytokine release syndrome, immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity, hematologic toxicity, infections, and other treatment-emergent adverse events. Disease assessments will be performed according to applicable disease-specific response criteria. In addition, serial blood samples will be collected to characterize the pharmacokinetic and cellular kinetic profile of CD19-CAR.p40-T cells, including expansion and persistence over time. The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety profile of CD19-CAR.p40-T, evaluate its preliminary antitumor activity, and generate clinical and translational data to support further development of this investigational cell therapy in CD19-positive hematologic malignancies.
