About this study

This is a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and cellular pharmacokinetics of CT0890B in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. It is planned to enroll 12~27 participants in this trial.

Treatment and study plan

CAR-T cells chimeric antigen receptor T cells

Drug

Conditioning regimen:

Days -9 to -3:

Venetoclax administered with a target dose of 200 mg/day.

Days -5 to -4:

Cytarabine administered at 500 mg/m²/day.

Days -5 to -3:

Cyclophosphamide at 300 mg/m²/day plus Fludarabine at 30 mg/m²/day.

Day 0:

Infusion of CT0890B CAR-T cells at one of four dose levels using an i3+3 Dose-Escalation Design:

1.5 × 10⁸ total cells, 3.0 × 10⁸ total cells, 4.5 × 10⁸ total cells, 6.0 × 10⁸ total cells

Other names: Off-the-shelf allogeneic CAR-T cells

Primary outcomes

  1. Adverse Events (AE) after CT0890B infusion

    Time frame: 12 months after CT890B infusion

    An assessment of severity grade will be made according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria

  2. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)

    Time frame: Up to 28 days after CAR-T cells infusion

    The DLT is evaluated as the proportion of patients who experienced adverse events related to CT0890B that meet the criteria for DLT events after the first infusion

  3. MTD and/or dose range

    Time frame: Up to 28 days after CAR-T cells infusion

    Evaluate Dose limited toxicity and recommended dosage range after CT0890B infusion

Secondary outcomes

  1. Composite response (CRc)

    Time frame: 12 months after CT0890B infusion

    The composite response rate (CRc) included complete response (CR), complete response with partial hematologic recovery (CRh), complete response with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), and morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS). Responses were assessed in accordance with the Technical Guidelines for Clinical Development of New Drugs for Acute Myeloid Leukemia and the 2022 European LeukemiaNet criteria for acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

  2. Partial response (PR)

    Time frame: 12 months after CT0890B infusion

    Partial response (PR) was defined and assessed according to the Technical Guidelines for Clinical Development of New Drugs for Acute Myeloid Leukemia and the 2022 European LeukemiaNet response criteria for AML.

  3. Rate of Subsequent Stem Cell Transplantation After CAR-T Therapy

    Time frame: 12 months after CT0890B infusion

    This secondary endpoint was defined as the proportion of patients who proceeded to stem cell transplantation after CAR-T therapy during the study period.

  4. Duration of response (DOR)

    Time frame: 12 months after CT0890B infusion

    Patients achieving CR, CRi, CRh, or MLFS were included in the duration of response (DOR) analysis set. DOR was defined as the time from the date of first documented response to the date of disease relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.

  5. Event-free survival (EFS)

    Time frame: 12 months after CT0890B infusion

    EFS was defined as the time from the date of CAR-T infusion to the earliest occurrence of treatment failure, relapse, or death from any cause. Treatment failure was defined as failure to achieve CR, CRh, CRi, MLFS, or PR at both prespecified efficacy assessments. Relapse included hematologic or extramedullary relapse after achieving CR, CRh, CRi or MLFS.

    For patients with treatment failure (ineffective therapy), the primary EFS analysis assigned an event time of 1 day (i.e., the time from infusion to treatment receipt). Sensitivity analyses were performed using alternative definitions of event timing, including the actual date of treatment failure, the end of treatment, or the initiation of subsequent anti-leukemia therapy.

  6. Overall survival (OS)

    Time frame: 12 months after CT0890B infusion

    OS is defined as the time from the date of receiving the infusion to the date of death from any cause.

  7. Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Negativity Rate

    Time frame: 12 months after CT0890B infusion

    MRD negativity rate was assessed in participants who achieved CR, CRh, CRi or MLFS. MRD negativity was defined as <0.01% abnormal cells among CD45-positive cells as determined by multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC).

  8. Pharmacokinetic Endpoint - Peak expansion (Cmax)

    Time frame: 12 months after CT0890B infusion

    The maximum concentration or peak value of CT0890B cells in plasma after infusion, measured by CAR copy number.

  9. Time to peak expansion (Tmax) of CT0890B

    Time frame: 12 months after CT0890B infusion

    The time required to reach the peak expansion (maximum CAR copy number) in plasma following the infusion of CT0890B cells.

  10. Area under the curve (AUC) of CT0890B

    Time frame: 12 months after CT0890B infusion

    The total cellular exposure in plasma after infusion, calculated based on the area under the CAR copy number-time curve.

  11. In vivo persistence of CT0890B

    Time frame: Up to 12 months after CT0890B infusion

    The duration for which CT0890B cells remain detectable in the plasma after infusion, monitored via CAR copy number.
