About this study

Official title: Clinical Study of CD5 Targeting Chimeric Antigen Receptor NK Cells (CAR-NK) in the Treatment of Relapse/Refractory T-Cell Hematologic Malignancies

This is a clincal trial initiated by investigator to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-CD5 CAR-NK in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory T-Cell hematologic malignancies.

Read the detailed description

This study is a single-arm, open-label, dose-finding and expansion clinical trial aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of anti-CD5 CAR-NK therapy for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory T-Cell hematologic malignancies. The goal is to determine the recommended dose of CAR-NK cell therapy for these conditions. The study includes three dose groups: 1×10⁷ CAR-positive cells/kg, 3×10⁷ CAR-positive cells/kg, and 5×10⁷ CAR-positive cells/kg. Each patient will initially receive a single infusion of CAR-NK cells on Day 0. If a suboptimal response is observed after the first infusion (assessed by Day 28) and the safety profile remains acceptable, a second infusion may be administered as a remedial dose after Day 28. The investigaors have the flexibility to adjust the second infusion dose based on the subject's condition.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Anti-CD5 CAR NK cellsBiological

    Each patient will initially receive a single infusion of CAR-NK cells on Day 0. If a suboptimal response is observed after the first infusion (assessed by Day 28) and the safety profile remains acceptable, a second infusion may be administered as a remedial dose after Day 28. CAR-NK cells need to be controlled within 70 minutes from thawing to infusion completion.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]

    The incidence of adverse events after CAR-NK cell infusion was assessed by CTCAE, version 5.0.

    Measured: 28 dyas

  2. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) within 3 Months:

    1. For patients with T-cell lymphoma, ORR includes complete response (CR) and partial response (PR);
    2. For patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), ORR includes CR, CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh), CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), and morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS).

    Measured: 1month, 2 months, 3 months

  3. Overall survival (OS) after CAR-NK infusion

    OS is defined as the time from CAR-NK cell infusion to death from any cause, reflecting the long-term survival benefit of the therapy.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Duration of response (DOR) after CAR-NK infusion

    DOR measures the time from the first achievement of objective response to disease progression or death, evaluating the durability of treatment efficacy in responding patients.

    Measured: 2 years

  5. Progression-Free-Survival (PFS) after CAR-NK infusion

    PFS is the time from CAR-NK cell infusion to disease progression or death from any cause, capturing both tumor control and survival outcomes

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To obtain the cytodynamics data of CAR-NK cells in vivo【pharmacokinetics】

    Cmax:The highest concentration of CAR T cells amplified in peripheral blood after reinfusion

    Measured: 3months

  2. To obtain the cytodynamics data of CAR-NK cells in vivo【pharmacokinetics】

    Tmax:The time to reach the highest concentration of CAR-NK cells in peripheral blood after reinfusion

    Measured: 3months

  3. To obtain the cytodynamics data of CAR-NK cells in vivo【pharmacodynamics】

    The content of free IL-6 in peripheral blood at each time point after transfusion was determined by immunohistochemical method

    Measured: 3months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Anti-CD5 CAR NK cells in people with T-ALL/Lymphoma, run by Chongqing Precision Biotech Co., Ltd at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 21 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jia Wei, MD (+86 13986102084 ext. (0351)837 9851, jiawei@tjh.tjmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] (time frame: 28 dyas). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Apr 2025.
