Purpose
The overall purpose of this study is to explore the therapeutic effect of BCMA-targeted
chimeric antigen receptor T(CAR-T) cells in the treatment of B-cell derived malignancies.
Detailed Description
B-cell maturation antigen(BCMA) is preferentially expressed in mature B lymphocytes as well
as in B-cell derived leukemia, lymphomas, and multiple myeloma. Despite of the fact that
CD19-targeted CAR-T can re-induce remissions for many patients with relapsed and refractory B
cell malignancies, a part of those patients will relapse with CD19-negative malignancies. To
explore a rescue for those with CD19-negative B cell malignancies, this trial is designed and
conducted to test the safety and effect of BCMA-targeted CAR-T.
Trial Arms
Name | Type | Description | Interventions |
---|
B Cell Malignancies | Experimental | The trial will be conducted in a manner of simon two-stage design with Anti-BCMA-CAR-transduced T cells, beginning in the first stage with the aim of over 30% reaction rate among 15 patients with B cell malignancies. Only when the expected reaction rate is achieved the 30 patients left can be recruited. | - Anti-BCMA-CAR-transduced T cells

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
1. BCMA-expressing B cell malignancy must be assured and must be relapsed or refractory
disease. According to current traditional therapies, there must be no available
alternative curative therapies and subjects must be either ineligible for allogeneic
stem cell transplant (SCT), have refused SCT, or have disease activity that prohibits
SCT at this time.
2. Patients enrolled must have an evaluated score above 60 with KPS.
3. BCMA expression of the malignant cells must be detected by immunohistochemistry or by
flow cytometry. In general immunohistochemistry will be used for lymph node biopsies,
flow cytometry will be used for peripheral blood and bone marrow samples.
4. Gender is not limited, age from 14 years to 75 years.
5. Patients must have measurable or evaluable disease at the time of enrollment, which
may include any evidence of disease including minimal residual disease detected by
flow cytometry, cytogenetics, or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis.
6. Patients are expected to survive for more than 3 months by their physicians at the
time of enrollment.
7. Adequate absolute CD3 count estimated need to be assured for obtaining target cell
dose based on dosage cohorts.
8. Subjects with the following CNS status are eligible only in the absence of neurologic
symptoms suggestive of CNS leukemia, such as cranial nerve palsy:
CNS 1, defined as absence of blasts in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) on cytospin
preparation, regardless of the number of WBCs; CNS 2, defined as presence of < 5/uL
WBCs in CSF and cytospin positive for blasts, or > 5/uL WBCs but negative by
Steinherz/Bleyer algorithm CNS3 with marrow disease who has failed salvage systemic
and intensive IT chemotherapy (and therefore not eligible for radiation)
9. Ability to give informed consent.
10. Cardiac function: Left ventricular ejection fraction greater than or equal to 40% by
MUGA or cardiac MRI, or fractional shortening greater than or equal to 28% by ECHO or
left ventricular ejection fraction greater than or equal to 50% by ECHO.
11. Renal function: Creatinine level of peripheral blood is required no greater than
133umol/L.
12. Females of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test because of the
potentially dangerous effects on the fetus.
13. Patients with history of allogeneic stem cell transplantation are eligible if there is
no evidence of active GVHD and no longer taking immunosuppressive agents for at least
30 days prior to enrollment.
14. Patients volunteer to participate in the research.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Evident signs suggesting that patients are potentially allergic to cytokines.
2. Frequent infection history and recent infection is uncontrolled.
3. Patients with concomitant genetic syndrome: patients with Down syndrome, Fanconi
anemia, Kostmann syndrome, Shwachman syndrome or any other known bone marrow failure
syndrome
4. Active acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) or requirement of
immunosuppressant medications for GVHD within 4 weeks of enrollment.
5. Concurrent use of systemic steroids or chronic use of immunosuppressant medications.
Recent or current use of inhaled steroids is not exclusionary. For additional details
regarding use of steroid and immunosuppressant medications.
6. Pregnancy and nursing females.
7. HIV infection.
8. Active hepatitis B or active hepatitis C.
9. Participation in a prior investigational study within 4 weeks prior to enrollment or
longer if required by local regulation. Participation in non-therapeutic research
studies is allowed.
10. Class III/IV cardiovascular disability according to the New York Heart Association
Classification.
11. Patients with a known history or prior diagnosis of other serious immunologic,
malignant or inflammatory disease.
12. Other situations we think not eligible for participation in the research.
