A Clinical Study of CD19 CAR NK Cells for the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory B-cell Related Autoimmune Diseases

A single arm, open-label pilot study is designed to determine the safety and effectiveness of anti-CD19 CAR NK cells (KN5501) in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell related autoimmune diseases.15 patients are planned to be enrolled in the dose-escalation trial (6×10^9 cells, 9×10^9 cells). The primary objective of the study is to evaluation of the safety and feasibility of KN5501 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory B-cell related autoimmune diseases. The secondary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of KN5501 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory B-cell related autoimmune diseases. The exploratory objective is to evaluate expansion, persistence and ability to deplete CD19 positive B cells of KN5501 in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell related autoimmune diseases.

Inclusion criteria

  • Subjects voluntarily participate in this clinical study and sign the Informed Consent Form (ICF) and are willing to follow and be able to complete all trial procedures
  • Subjects disease status of enrolment: not complete response (CR) after standard treatment; moderately to severely active autoimmune diseases
  • Age: ≥ 18 years old and ≤ 70 years old, male or female
  • Subjects with estimated survival > 12 weeks
  • Adequate organs function: Serum creatinine clearance meets relevant age/sex criteria,aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • ECOG performance ≤ 2
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 45%
  • Subjects have been treated with OCS in combination with an immunosuppressive or biologic agent for at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment

Exclusion criteria

  • Subjects with known severe allergic reactions, hypersensitivity, contraindication to any medications during the trial (cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, tozumabs), or subjects with a history of severe allergic reactions
  • Subjects with one of the following genetic syndromes: Fanconi syndrome, Kostmann syndrome, Shwachman syndrome or any of the known bone marrow failure syndromes
  • Subjects with active or uncontrolled infections requiring parenteral antimicrobials; evidence of severe active viral or bacterial infections or uncontrolled systemic fungal infections
  • Subjects with grade III or IV heart failure (NYHA classification)
  • History of epilepsy or other central nervous system (CNS) diseases
  • History of other primary malignant tumors except: cured non-melanoma skin cancer or primary cervical cancer; subjects with inactive tumors
  • Subjects with more pronounced bleeding tendencies, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, coagulation disorders, and hypersplenism
  • Subjects were treated with systemic corticosteroids concomitantly within 2 weeks prior to treatment
  • Subjects with unstable angina, symptomatic congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction within the last 6 months
  • Females who are pregnant, lactating, or planning a pregnancy within six months
  • Subjects who have received other clinical trial treatment within 3 months
  • Any situation judged by the investigators that may increase the risk of the subjects or interfere with the clinical trial outcome

Treatment and study plan

anti-CD19 CAR NK cells

Drug

Patients will receive Fludarabine (30mg/m2 per day) and Cyclophosphamide (300mg/m2 per day) on day -5, -4, and -3, followed by Anti-CD19 CAR NK cells infusion.

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLTs)

    Time frame: within 4 weeks after infusion; 12, 24, 36 and 52 weeks after infusion

    To characterize the safety of anti-CD19 CAR NK Cells for moderate to severe autoimmune diseases.

  2. Treatment Emergent Adverse Events(TEAEs)

    Time frame: within 4 weeks after infusion; 12, 24, 36 and 52 weeks after infusion

    To characterize the safety of anti-CD19 CAR NK Cells for moderate to severe autoimmune diseases

Secondary outcomes

  1. Disease control rate of subjects

    Time frame: 4, 12, 24, and 52 weeks after infusion

    To characterize the efficacy of anti-CD19 CAR NK Cells for moderate to severe autoimmune diseases. Disease control is assessed according to SLEDAl 2K. Disease control rate is defined as proportion of patients with SRI-4 response: including SLEDAI 2K ≥ 4-Point improvement

  2. Remission rate of subjects

    Time frame: 4, 12, 24, and 52 weeks after infusion

    To characterize the efficacy of anti-CD19 CAR NK Cells for moderate to severe autoimmune diseases. Remission is assessed according to SLEDAl 2K. Remission rate is defined as proportion of patients with SLEDAl 2K score= 0
