Anti-CD19 CAR in PiggyBac Transposon-Engineered T Cells for Relapsed/Refractory B-cell Lymphoma or B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Using piggyBac transposon/transposase system to deliver genes into primary human T cells - example expression of CD19 CAR.CARs specific to the human CD19 antigen were used. All CARs contained the scFv against human CD19 (clone FMC-63), The third BBz CD28z CAR consisted of the scFv linked to the intracellular domains of CD28, 4-1BB and CD3z through a CD28 transmembrane domain; Subjects with relapsed/refractory CD19-positive B-cell Lymphoma or B-ALL can participate if all eligibility criteria are met. All patients received chemotherapy with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide before the infusion of anti-CD19 CAR-T cells.. After the infusion, subjects will accept follow-up for side effects and effect of anti-CD19 CAR-T cells. Follow-up : Safety and adverse events (safety and tolerability of anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy within 14 days): The number and severity of adverse events, an evaluation of their association with the anti-CD19 CAR-T cell treatment, and the outcome of the adverse events. Possible adverse events include cytokine release syndrome, hypotension, reversible neurotoxicity, hypogammaglobulinemia, etc. CT was used to evaluate B-lymphoma lesions. B-ALL bone marrow samples were collected by bone marrow aspiration to assess minimal residual disease. Flow cytometry was used to detect proportion of T cells, B cells, and NK cells in the blood, and expression of CD3, CD4, CD8, anti-CD19 CAR to determine the effect of anti-CD19 CAR-T treatment. Plasma levels of the cytokines IFN-gamma, TNF-α, IL-2, GM-CSF, IL-10, and IL-6 were also determined. Data analysis: Overall survival and progress free survival were determined by the Kaplan-Meier method, using all enrolled patients to determine overall survival. Study procedures may be performed while hospitalized.
