Brief Summary

The trial is designed as an early exploratory single-centre, open, single-arm clinical trial. The trial is planned to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CAR-T for the treatment of relapsed refractory malignant haematological tumours. The trial is divided into five visit periods as follows: screening period, non-myeloablative pretreatment, short-term follow-up period, mid-term follow-up period and exit visit.

Detailed Description

1) Screening period (-21 to -7 days, 2 weeks): subjects signed the informed consent form and completed a series of examinations, and it was judged by the investigator whether subjects met the inclusion criteria and did not meet the exclusion criteria based on the results of the examinations and the inclusion/exclusion criteria. And the investigator will judge whether some of the examination results within one month before the date of informed consent are acceptable according to the patient's condition.

2) Non-myeloablative preconditioning (-4 to -1 days for 4 days): the need for preconditioning and the preconditioning regimen were decided based on the subject's condition, and the most commonly used regimen was the FC regimen. After returning to the study centre for admission at the time notified by the investigator, subjects received fludarabine and cyclophosphamide on days -4 to -2 of the trial; the drugs were discontinued for 1 day on day -1 and a series of tests were completed as baseline information for subjects after non-clear myeloid preconditioning;

3) Short-term follow-up period (visits 4 to 10: 0 to 180 days over a period of 6 months): subjects return to the study centre for a series of examinations every month for 6 months following the start of infusing back the expected dose of CAR-T cells on Day 0 of the trial. The investigator evaluates the short-term safety and efficacy of CAR-T therapy based on the subjects' examination results;

4) Medium- to long-term follow-up period (180 to 360 days over a period of 6 months): subjects will return to the research centre every 2 months for a series of examinations within 6 months after completion of the short-term follow-up. The investigators will evaluate the mid- and long-term safety and efficacy of CAR-T therapy based on the subjects' examination results;

5) Withdrawal Visit (at any time): all subjects may withdraw from this study at any stage of the trial, with or without providing a reason. If the subject withdraws from the study after the return of the CAR-T cells, he/she will be required to complete the examination items required for the withdrawal visit in the visit flowchart; if the subject withdraws from the visit prior to the return of the CAR-T cells, he/she will be required to complete the safety examination items only, and the reason for the subject's withdrawal will be recorded in detail by the investigator. If the subject stops treatment due to AE, the investigator will follow the subject for necessary safety visits until the subject's AE returns to baseline levels or reaches steady state.

Study Groups

CAR-T cell therapy

Dose climbing started with 1.0\*10\^6/kg back infusion, 3 patients per dose group, if there is no adverse reaction the dose can be increased to 2.0\*10\^6/kg, 4.0\*10\^6/kg, the maximum dose can be extended the study.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

CAR-T cell therapy

Intervention Type: DRUG

The application of CAR-T therapy in the clinic generally involves the in vitro preparation and in vivo infusion of CAR-T, and the specific experimental process is divided into five steps: (1) isolation of T cells from the peripheral blood of the cancer subjects or single harvested single nucleated cells; (2) use of genetic engineering to transfer CAR structural genes that can specifically recognise the tumour cells into the T cells; (3) in vitro cultivation and expansion of CAR-T cells to the desired infusion dose (4) Non-myeloablative chemotherapy is administered prior to the infusion of CAR-T cells, which is used to remove immunosuppressive cells and reduce the tumour load so as to enhance the efficacy of the treatment; (5) CAR-T cells are infused according to the expected dosage, and the efficacy of the treatment is observed and the adverse reactions are closely monitored.
