Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
In phase 1, 3 eligible patients will be enrolled and receive BCOR and ZC3H12 genes knock-out CD19 CAR T cell therapy at a initial dose of 5×10\^5 cells/kg. Based on the results, . Subsequently an additional 3-15 patients will be enrolled in a "3+3" dose-escalation/decline design to adjust the dose of BCOR and ZC3H12 genes knock-out CD19 CAR T cells to achieve optimal safety and efficacy. The recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) will then be established. 10 to 12 subjects will be enrolled and receive BCOR and ZC3H12 genes knock-out CD19 CAR T cell infusion at dose of RP2D.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The investigators have developed that the suppression of two genes, Zc3h12a and Bcor, induced CD19 CAR T cells capable of expansion, persistence, and inducing long-term B cell depletion in immunocompetent mice models,even without any conditioning and in low dose infusion. From this, the investigators present a single-center, single-arm, prospective, phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BCOR and ZC3H12 genes knock-out CD19 CAR T cells in adult patients with r/r B-ALL. For simplicity, the investigators have termed these CD19 CAR T cells lacking ZC3H12A and BCOR as immortal-like and functional CD19 CAR T (CAR19TIF) cells, reflecting their immortal-like and functional characteristics.
Phase 1 (dose escalation/decline)
In phase 1, 6-18 subjects will be enrolled. Referring to the starting dose of most CAR T cell therapies, and to avoid exposing patients to the risk of "ineffective expansion dose", 3 patients will receive CAR19TIF cells therapy at a starting dose of 5×10\^5 cells/kg.According to the copy number of CAR T cells were assessed by number in peripheral blood and clinical efficacy data, additional 3-15 patients will be enrolled in a "3+3" dose-escalation/decline design to adjust the dose of CAR19TIF cells to achieve optimal safety and efficacy :
After obtaining effective expansion data and clinical efficacy data, a descending dose escalation model will be adopted: such as 1×10\^5 cells/kg, 5×10\^4 cells/kg. If the 5×10\^5 cells/kg dose group does not achieve efficient expansion and clinical benefit, an ascending dose escalation model will be adopted, such as 2×10\^6 cells/kg, 6×10\^6 cells/kg.
3 subjects are enrolled in a cohort corresponding to a dose level. If 1 subject in a cohort of 3 subjects experiences a DLT, 3 additional subjects will be enrolled at the current dose level.
For safety purposes, the administration of CAR19TIF cells will be staggered by 28 days between the first two subjects in each cohort. And for each of the remaining cohorts, the administration of CAR19TIF cells will be staggered by 28 day.
Phase 2 (expansion cohort) In phase 2, 10 to 12 subjects will be enrolled and receive cell infusion at dose of RP2D, which will be determined based on the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), occurrence of DLT, the obtained efficacy results, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and other data according to the phase 1.
Objectives The primary objectives of the phase 1 were to evaluate the tolerability and safety of CAR19TIF cells in patients with r/r B-ALL, and determine RP2D. The primary purpose of the phase 2 study was to evaluate the efficacy of CAR19TIF cells n the above population.
