About this trial
Malignant hematological tumors mainly derived from adult B cells are mainly acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and non Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Overall, although existing therapies have significantly improved the survival rates of most patients, the treatment of relapsed/refractory patients still faces significant challenges. CD20 is a transmembrane protein highly expressed on the surface of B cells, almost penetrating the precursor, mature, and activated stages of B cells, but lacking in plasma cells, making it an ideal target for B cell malignancies.
In recent years, the breakthrough development of in vivo CAR-T therapy has overturned the traditional paradigm of in vitro CAR-T technology. The core principle is to directly deliver the gene encoding chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to T cells in the patient's body through gene delivery vectors, without the need for in vitro isolation, modification, and amplification processes, and to complete the gene reprogramming of T cells in vivo. At present, the mainstream carrier technologies for CAR-T therapy in vivo are divided into two categories: lentiviral carriers and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) carriers. LNP carriers have significantly broken through the clinical bottlenecks of traditional CAR-T in terms of cost and accessibility, safety, and timeliness.
This experimental drug is a CD20 based messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) therapeutic drug, which is an injection formed by loading mRNA onto lipid nanoparticles (LNP). It has shown efficient B-cell clearance activity and good safety in non clinical settings, supporting further clinical exploration in B-cell hematological malignancies. It is expected to provide an innovative, safe, and accessible immunotherapy for B-cell hematological malignancies and bring better clinical benefits to more patients with B-cell hematological malignancies.
