KSD-101 Therapy for EBV-associated Haematologic Neoplasms: an Exploratory Clinical Trial

The primary objectives of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of KSD-101 in Patients with EBV-associated haematologic neoplasms, observe the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and and to explore the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

Exclusion criteria

  • A patient who has received any anticancer therapy such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy (eg, immunosuppressive drugs) within one month prior to screening.
  • A female patient who is pregnant (positive urine/blood pregnancy test) or breastfeeding, or a male/female patient who plans to conceive in recent 1 year.

Treatment and study plan

Autologous monocyte - derived DCs pulsed with EBV antigen

Biological

Patients will receive approximately (5-10)x10^6 DC vaccine via subcutaneous injections bi-weekly,totally 3-5 times.Doses 4 and 5 are designated as booster doses. The need for booster treatment and the exploration of alternative immunization schedules shall be determined by the Investigator based on the subject's condition.For subjects in the dose expansion phase, concomitant therapy recommended by the Investigator is permitted if the subject has a high tumor burden. In the event of disease progression, the Investigator is allowed to select an appropriate treatment regimen based on the subject's condition, while the subject may choose to continue receiving treatment KSD-101. If the subject declines to continue treatment KSD-101 but agrees to survival follow-up, they will be transitioned to the survival follow-up phase.

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) by dose group

    Time frame: 1 years after DC Vaccines injection

    Dose limiting toxicity will be assessed after injection in each dose group

  2. Incidence of maximally tolerated dose (MTD) by dose grouphaematologic neoplasms

    Time frame: 1 years after DC Vaccines injection

    Maximally tolerated dose will be assessed after injection in each dose group

  3. Type and incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) by dose group

    Time frame: 1 years after DC Vaccines injection

    Calculate type and incidence of adverse events (AE), serious adverse event (SAE), including those happened after injection, those related to study drug, or those that led to withdrawal from the study. They will also be aggregated by systematic organ classification (SOC), preferred term (PT), and severity.

Secondary outcomes

  1. EBV-DNA load

    Time frame: 1 years after DC Vaccines injection

    The load levels of EBV-DNA will be detected at each time point

  2. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Time frame: 1 years after DC Vaccines injection

    The percentage of participants who achieved PR or better response

  3. Disease control rate (DCR)

    Time frame: 1 years after DC Vaccines injection

    The percentage of participants who achieved SD or better response

  4. Duration of response (DOR)

    Time frame: 1 years after DC Vaccines injection

    DOR will be calculated among responders (with a PR or better response) from the date of initial documentation of a response (PR or better) to the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease

  5. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Time frame: 1 years after DC Vaccines injection

    The time from the start of CAR-GPRC5D treatment for the participants to the first time of disease progression or death for any reason

  6. Overall survival (OS)

    Time frame: 1 years after DC Vaccines injection

    OS is measured from the date of the initial injection of DC Vaccines to the date of the participant's death

  7. Levels of EBV-specific CD8+ T cells

    Time frame: 1 years after DC Vaccines injection

    EBV-specific CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood will be assessed to monitor changes

  8. Levels of B cells

    Time frame: 1 years after DC Vaccines injection

    B cells in peripheral blood will be assessed to monitor changes

  9. Levels of NK cells

    Time frame: 1 years after DC Vaccines injection

    NK cells in peripheral blood will be assessed to monitor changes
