Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a Phase 1/2a, nonrandomized, open-label, parallel assignment, single-dose, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of PBCAR20A in adult subjects with r/r B-cell NHL or r/r CLL/SLL.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label, parallel assignment, single-dose, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion study to evaluate safety, tolerability, clinical activity, and find an appropriate dose to optimize safety and efficacy of PBCAR20A in subjects with relapsed/refractory (r/r) CD20+ Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) or r/r Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL). Before initiating PBCAR20A, therapy, subjects will be administered lymphodepletion chemotherapy composed of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide. At Day 0 of the Treatment Period, subjects will receive a single intravenous (IV) infusion of PBCAR20A. All subjects are monitored during the treatment period through Day 28. All subjects who receive a dose of PBCAR20A will be followed in a separate long-term follow-up (LTFU) study for 15 years after exiting this study.

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

Phase 1: Participants with r/r CD20+ B-cell NHL or r/r CLL/SLL will be enrolled to 3 escalating dose groups and treated sequentially, with the possibility of a single de-escalation. Within each dose group, at least 3 and at most 6 study participants will be treated with a single dose of PBCAR20A using a standard 3 + 3 design. The starting dose of PBCAR20A will be 1 × 10\^6 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells/kg body weight. Subsequent dose groups will be treated with escalating doses to a maximum dose of 480 × 10\^6 CAR T cells (flat dose). In the absence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) (as described in Section 3.8 of the protocol), the dose will be increased using a fixed-dose scheme.

Phase 2: Study PBCAR20A-01 did not proceed into Phase 2.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Dose Level 1 of PBCAR20A CAR T cells

1 x 10\^6 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells per kg body weight.

In this study, PBCAR20A, allogeneic anti-cluster of differentiation (CD20) CAR T Cells, is used to treat patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) CD20+ Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) or r/r Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL).

Route of Administration: Intravenous infusion (IV)

Lymphodepletion Conditioning: Lymphodepletion will be conducted several days prior to PBCAR20A infusion. A combination of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide will be used for lymphodepletion.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Criteria for NHL:

* r/r CD20+ B-cell NHL that is histologically confirmed by archived tumor biopsy tissue from the last relapse and corresponding pathology report.
* Measurable or detectable disease according to the Lugano classification.
* Primary refractory disease or r/r disease after a response to 2 prior regimens.

Criteria for CLL/SLL:

* Diagnosis of CD20+ CLL with indication for treatment based on the iwCLL guidelines and clinically measurable disease or SLL with measurable disease that is biopsy-proven SLL.

* Hypertension crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy within 3 months prior to Screening.
* Presence of a CNS disorder that renders ineligible for treatment.
* History of a genetic syndrome such as Fanconi anemia, Kostmann syndrome, Shwachman Diamond syndrome, or any other known bone marrow failure syndrome.
* Received ASCT within 45 days of Screening if the study participant has met the rest of the count requirements.
* Must not have received systemic corticosteroid therapy for at least 7 days prior to initiating lymphodepletion chemotherapy.
* Received a live vaccine within 4 weeks before Screening.
* Radiotherapy within 4 weeks determined on a case-by-case basis.
