Brief Summary

The study is an early, open, single-centered trial. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerance of GC022 CAR-T cell immunotherapy in relapsed or refractory B-ALL. The investigators plan to include 20 subjects to receive GC022 therapy.

Conditions

B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NA
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

GC022

The patients will receive GC022 CAR-T treatment. GC022 dosage ranges from 3×10\^5 to 1×10\^7 CAR+T/Kg.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

GC022

Intervention Type: BIOLOGICAL

GC022 is a bispecific CAR-T cell immunotherapy that targeted CD19 and CD22. The subjects will receive one dose of GC022 infusion. The dosage ranges from 3×10\^5 to 1×10\^7 CAR+T/Kg.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Relapsed or refractory paediatric B-cell ALL 1) 2nd or greater bone marrow (BM) relapse or 2) Relapse after remission for the first time in 12 months or 3) The interval between relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and CAR-T cells transfusion≥100 days or 4) Primary refractory as defined by not achieving a CR after 2 cycles of a standard chemotherapy regimen or chemorefractory as defined by not achieving a CR after 1 cycle of standard chemotherapy for relapsed leukaemia or 5) Patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive ALL were eligible if they were intolerant to or had failed two lines of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy, or if TKI therapy was contraindicated or 6) Ineligible for allogeneic SCT because of: i. Comorbid disease ii. Other contraindications to allogeneic SCT conditioning regimen iii. Lack of suitable donor iv. Prior SCT v. Declined allogeneic SCT as a therapeutic option after documented discussion, including expected outcomes, about the role of SCT with a BM transplantation physician not part of the study team

2. For relapsed patients, CD19 tumour expression demonstrated in bone marrow or peripheral blood by flow cytometry within 3 months of study entry

3. Aged 2-70 years

4. Eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2

4. Concomitant malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer or adequately-treated cervical carcinoma in situ or prostate cancer (PSA score<1.0) or adequately-treated low grade bladder cancer or surgery-cured ductal carcinoma in situ or diagnosis of other malignancy exceeds 5 years without relapse or treatment during the 5 years;

5. Concomitant genetic diseases except Down syndrome;

6. Any result of the following virology tests is positive: HIV; HCV; HBsAg; or HBCAb positive with HBV DNA copies positive(≥ 5×10^2 copies/ml); RPR+TPPA postive;

7. Live vaccine ≤4 weeks prior to apheresis;

8. Presence of grade 2 to 4 graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allo-HSCT;

9. The following medications were excluded: 1) Steroids: Therapeutic systemic doses of steroids must be stopped >72 hours prior to tisagenlecleucel infusion. However, the following physiological replacement doses of steroids are allowed: <12 mg/m^2/day hydrocortisone or equivalent; 2) Allogeneic cellular therapy: Any donor lymphocyte infusions must be completed >6 weeks prior to tisagenlecleucel infusion; 3) GVHD therapies: Any systemic drug used for GVHD must be stopped >4 weeks prior to infusion to confirm that GVHD recurrence is not observed;

10. Preventive treatments of CNS diseases must be stopped >3 days prior to infusion (e.g., intrathecal injection of methotrexate) 1) Radiotherapy of non-CNS nidus must be completed >2 weeks prior to infusion; 2) CNS stereotactic radiotherapy must be completed >8 weeks prior to infusion;
