Brief Summary

This is a single-center,single-arm,open-label phase I clinical study to determine the safety and efficacy of LILRB4 STAR-T cells in Monocytic Leukemia subjects.

Detailed Description

This study will recruit LILRB4-positive monocytic leukemia subjects who will receive cyclophosphamide and fludarabine on days -5 to -3 prior to cell infusion, followed by LILRB4 STAR-T cells. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LILRB4 STAR-T cells in subjects with monocytic leukemia. The secondary objective was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of LILRB4 STAR-T cells.

Conditions

Acute Myelogenous Leukemia; Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia

Study Design

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

Study Groups

LILRB4 STAR-T cells injection

The study was divided into two phases: dose climbing and dose extension. Dose climbing stage: adopt the 3 + 3 dose climbing design principle, and the dose group is set as follows, in which, dose group-A is the backup dose reduction dose group, and dose group A is the starting dose:

Dose Group-A: 3×105STAR+T cells / kg； Dose group A: 1×106STAR+T cells / kg； Dose group B: 3×106STAR+T cells / kg； Dose group C: 6×106STAR+T cells / kg； Dose group D: 1×107STAR+T cells / kg。

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

LILRB4 STAR-T cells injection

Intervention Type: BIOLOGICAL

The study population was relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.Subjects will receive cytoreductive chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine on days -5, -4 and -3 followed by infusion of STAR-T cells. STAR-T cells will be intravenously infused with a escalated dose of 1E6#3E6#6E6#1E7 cells/kg
