Brief Summary

This is a single center, single arm, open-label, dose escalation, phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of KSV01 injection for patients with relapsed/refractory B-Cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (r/r B-ALL).

2. Renal: Creatinine clearance (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula) ≥ 60 mL/min.

3. Pulmonary: Oxygen saturation (SaO2) ≥ 92% on room air, and no active pulmonary infection.

4. Cardiac: Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≥ 40% by echocardiography; absence of significant pericardial effusion; no clinically significant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities.

11. For women of childbearing potential: negative urine or serum pregnancy test at screening, and agreement to use effective contraception for at least 1 year post-infusion. Male subjects with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use effective barrier contraception for at least 1 year post-infusion.

12. For subjects with prior blinatumomab (CD3-CD19 bispecific T-cell engager) therapy: CD19 tumor expression on blasts (from bone marrow or peripheral blood) must be documented after the most recent cycle of blinatumomab. If CD19 expression is quantified, the percentage of CD19-positive blasts must be ≥90%.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Diagnosis of Burkitt's leukemia/lymphoma according to WHO 2016, or chronic myeloid leukemia in accelerated or blast phase.

2. History of another primary malignancy that has not been in continuous remission for at least 2 years. Exceptions to the 2-year limit include: non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated Stage I solid tumor with low risk of recurrence, cured carcinoma in situ of the cervix (biopsy-confirmed) or squamous intraepithelial lesion on Pap smear, and cured localized prostate cancer.

3. Uncontrolled active infection within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.

4. Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus infection.

5. HIV infection.

6. Positive for Treponema pallidum(syphilis).
