Study of Allo-QuadCAR01-T, an Allogeneic CAR-T Targeting CD19/CD20, in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory B-Cell Malignancies

This study is testing Allo-QuadCAR01-T, a new off-the-shelf CAR-T therapy for people with hard-to-treat B-cell cancers. Unlike current CAR-T treatments that use a patient's own cells, this therapy uses donor cells that are ready to use, which can save time and reduce costs. It targets two proteins, CD19 and CD20, to lower the chance of relapse and uses gene editing to make it safer. The trial has three parts: first to find a safe dose, then to confirm it, and finally to test how well it works in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Patients will get one infusion after chemotherapy to prepare their body. The main goal is to check safety and see how many patients have a complete response by Week 13. About 160 patients will take part, and researchers will follow them for up to 15 years.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Diagnosed with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
  • Must have received at least 2 prior lines of therapy.
  • ECOG performance status 0-1 (able to carry out daily activities).
  • Adequate organ function (heart, liver, kidneys).
  • HLA B/C match with donor cells.
  • No active uncontrolled infections.

Exclusion criteria

  • Active CNS involvement (including PCNSL) in dose escalation cohorts; may be allowed in later cohorts with Sponsor approval.
  • Prior CAR-T within 3 months of screening, or ≥Grade 3 ICAHT from prior CAR-T.
  • Autologous stem cell transplant within 3 months.
  • Prior allogeneic stem cell transplant or solid organ transplant.
  • Prior therapy with dual CD19/CD20 CAR-T.
  • Severe hypersensitivity to trial agents or similar compounds.
  • History of GvHD or post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder.
  • Presence of La/SS-B autoantibodies or related autoimmune diseases.
  • Other malignancy that may interfere with trial, except:
  • Curatively treated basal/squamous skin cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ
  • Low-grade, early-stage prostate cancer (Gleason ≤6, Stage 1-2) with no therapy needed
  • Adjuvant endocrine therapy for non-metastatic breast cancer (≥2 years)
  • Any other curatively treated malignancy in remission ≥2 years
  • Active viral infection within 1 week of screening, or serious bacterial/fungal infection.
  • Hemorrhagic cystitis.
  • Active neuro-autoimmune disease (e.g., MS, Guillain-Barré, ALS).
  • Active or residual HBV, HCV, or syphilis.
  • Active HIV. History of HIV may be eligible with Sponsor approval if:
  • Neurological disorders within 6 months (e.g., stroke, dementia, Parkinson's, cerebellar disease, CNS autoimmune disease).
  • Significant cardiac disease within 6 months (e.g., MI, stent, unstable angina).
  • Primary immunodeficiency or autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within 1 year (unless stable and Sponsor-approved).
  • Unresolved ≥Grade 2 non-hematologic toxicity from prior therapy (except neuropathy up to Grade 2).
  • Systemic immunosuppression within 28 days.
  • Last systemic lymphoma/CLL therapy (standard or investigational) within 28 days or 5 half-lives.
  • Major surgery within 14 days.
  • Local radiation within 28 days.
  • Live vaccination within 28 days.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding.

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of AEs defined as DLTs

    Time frame: At the end of cycle 1 (in total 28 days, given no treatment interruptions)

    Incidence and intensity of adverse events (AEs) graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0, except for cytokine release syndrome (CRS), immune effector cell associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), tumor lysis syndrome, and graft versus host disease (GvHD), which will be graded according to widely accepted specialized criteria

  2. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)

    Time frame: At the End of Cycle 1 (in total 28 days, given no treatment interruptions)

    MTD

  3. To determine the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT)

    Time frame: At the end of cycle 1 (in total 28 days, given no treatment interruptions)

    Incidence of DLTs

  4. Phase 2: Complete response rate (CRR)

    Time frame: Up to week 13

    Complete remission rate is defined as the proportion of participants with complete remission, per international working group (IWG) Lugano classification, as assessed by the investigator.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pharmacokinetics of Allo-QuadCAR01-T in PB in patients after infusion of Allo-QuadCAR01-T

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

    Detection of VCN in blood samples

  2. To investigate the impact of Allo-QuadCAR01-T on MRD

    MRD levels in responding CLL patients

  3. To evaluate immunogenicity against Allo-QuadCAR01-T

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

    Incidence of ADA1 formation against anti-CD19/CD20 ECD and ADA2 formation against the RevCAR ECD of Allo-QuadCAR01-T

  4. To evaluate host immune cell depletion and reconstitution resulting from LD

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

    Enumeration of host PB B-cell, T cell, and NK cell numbers

  5. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

    ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with best objective response of either a CR or a partial response (PR) during the trial prior to any new anti-lymphoma, anti-CLL therapy or local radiotherapy for lymphoma , per the Lugano Classification, as determined by the investigator.

  6. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

    PFS is defined as the time from Allo-QuadCAR01-T infusion to disease progression per the Lugano Classification, as determined by investigator review or death from any cause.

  7. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

    DOR is defined as the time from first objective response to disease progression or death from any cause among participants who have achieved CR or PR per the Lugano Classification, as determined by the investigator.
