Brief Summary

This is a single arm, open-label, phase 1 study, to determine the safety and efficacy of anti-CD123 CAR-T cells in treating patients diagnosed with refractory/relapsed acute leukemia in a dose-escalation way.

Detailed Description

This is a dose-escalation study of autologous anti-CD123 CAR-T cells. Patients receive fludarabine phosphate(300 mg/m^2) and cyclophosphamide (30 mg/m^2) IV on days -5 to -3, and then Patients receive autologous anti-CD123 CAR T cells IV over 20 minutes on day 0 (20% of total dose), day2 (30% of total dose) and day6 (50% of total dose, according to the side-effects occured). The total dose of CAR-T cells used in dose-escalation study is 0.5x10^6- 2.0x10^6 CAR-T cells/kg.

Conditions

Acute Leukemia; Acute Leukemia in Relapse; Acute Myeloid Leukemia; Relapsed or Refractory Acute Leukemia

4. Research participants must have bone marrow and/or peripheral blood samples available for confirmation of diagnosis; CD123 positivity must be confirmed by either flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry within 90 days of study entry; cytogenetics, flow cytometry, and molecular studies (such as FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 [FLT-3] status) will be obtained as per standard practice;

5. Karnofsky performance status score >= 70;

6. Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception prior to study entry and for six months following duration of study participation; should a woman become pregnant or suspect that she is pregnant while participating on the trial, she should inform her treating physician immediately;

7. Calculated creatinine clearance (absolute value) of >= 50 mL/minute or creatinine < 2.0 mg/dl or < 2 times upper limit of normal for the research participant's age group;

8. Serum bilirubin =< 3.0 mg/dL;

9. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =< 5 times the institutional upper limits of normal;

10. Ejection fraction measured by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA) >= 50%;

11. Diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO) or forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) > 45% predicted;

12. Research participants' last dose of prior chemotherapy or radiation must be >= 2 weeks before leukapheresis;

13. If a research participant has undergone prior allogeneic stem cell transplant, he/she must be off all immunosuppressants for graft versus host disease (GVHD) for at least 2 weeks before undergoing leukapheresis;

14. Negative serum or urine pregnancy test;

15. All research participants must have the ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent or age appropriate assent for pediatric patients.

Exclusion Criteria
