Description:
This dose-escalating phase I trial assesses for the first time the safety, the side effects
and the harmlessness, as well as the therapeutical benefit of the new study drug
UniCAR02-T-CD123 in patients with hematologic and lymphatic malignancies positive for CD123
marker. The UniCAR02-T-CD123 drug is a combination of a cellular component (UniCAR02-T) with
a recombinant antibody derivative (TM123) which together forms the active drug.

Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Safety and tolerability |
Time Frame: | DLT period (infusion period of TM123 + 7 days or + 28 days in patients with complete blast clearance) until Safety Follow-up 1 (infusion period of TM123 + 28 days + 3 months) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Incidence and intensity of adverse events graded according to CTCAE V5.0 |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) |
Time Frame: | DLT period (infusion period of TM123 + 7 days or + 28 days in patients with complete blast clearance) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | The RP2D will be determined based on MTD, all available efficacy data, and all available safety data, including information derived from additional treatment cycles. |
Measure: | Complete remission (CR), incomplete remission (CRi) and partial remission (PR) |
Time Frame: | until fifteen years after last UniCAR02-T administration |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | CR: Bone marrow blasts < 5%, absence of extramedullary disease, absolute neutrophil count > 1 Gpt/L and platelet count > 100 Gpt/L. Level of MRD should be measured in patients achieving CR in case as suitable marker exists.
CRi: All criteria for CR except residual thrombocytopenia (platelets < 100 Gpt/L) and/or neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count < 1 Gpt/L).
PR: All hematological criteria for CR with bone marrow blasts 5-25% and decrease of pre-treatment bone marrow blast percentage by at least 50 %. |
Measure: | Disease stabilization (DS) |
Time Frame: | until fifteen years after last UniCAR02-T administration |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Reduction of blast percentage by 25% compared to baseline without normalization of peripheral blood counts to levels not qualifying for PR or CR. |
Measure: | Best response rate |
Time Frame: | until fifteen years after last UniCAR02-T administration |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | The best observed response during observational period. Response states are ordered descending as follows: CR > CRi > PR > DS > refractory disease. |
Measure: | Progression free survival (PFS) |
Time Frame: | until fifteen years after last UniCAR02-T administration |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | The time from first treatment with TM123 and UniCAR02-T until disease progression or death. If no progress of death was observed during the observational period, the patient's progression free survival time will be censored on the date the patient was last seen progression-free and alive. |
Measure: | Overall survival (OS) |
Time Frame: | until fifteen years after last UniCAR02-T administration |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | The number of days between the first study drug administration and death from any cause. If death was not observed during the observational period, the patient's overall survival time will be censored on the date the patient was last seen alive. |
