About this trial

CD70 is a promising target for immunotherapy because it is overexpressed in T-cell lymphoma (TCL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) tumor cells but is found in deficient levels in normal tissues and hematopoietic stem cells. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CD70-targeted CAR-NK (CD70-CAR-NK) cells in patients with relapsed and refractory TCL and AML.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Voluntarily participate in this study and sign the informed consent form;

Aged between 18-75 years old, both male and female are eligible;

Relapsed/refractory T cell lymphoma is defined as: relapsed/refractory after having received at least two or more lines of previous treatment (patients with anaplastic large -cell lymphoma must have been exposed and resistant to Brentuximab vedotin). The celluar subtypes of T-cell lymphoma include: angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma; peripheral T - cell lymphoma not otherwise specified; ALK-negative anaplastic large - cell lymphoma; Relapsed/refractory AML is defined as: leukemia cells reappear in the peripheral blood after complete remission or the blasts in the bone marrow ≥ 5% or the extramedullary leukemia infiltration outside. Or newly diagnosed cases did not achieve a CR after two courses of standard regimens; those who relapse within 12 months after CR after consolidation and intensification treatment; those who relapse after 12 months and have not responded to conventional chemotherapy; those who relapse two or more times; those with persistent extramedullary leukemia;

The expected survival period ≥ 12 weeks;

Disqualifiers

Those with a history of allergy to any component in the cellular product;

Those with a history of other tumors;

Those who had grade II - IV (Glucksberg criteria) acute GvHD or extensive chronic GvHD after previous allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; or those who are currently receiving anti - GvHD treatment;

Those who have received gene therapy within the past 3 months;

Treatments tested in this trial

  • CD70 CAR-NK

    Biological/Vaccine

    CAR - NK cells constructed by using genetic engineering technology retain the original extensive tumor - killing ability of NK cells. By using their unique target cell recognition mechanism, the target is accurately locked on specific antigen proteins, thereby enhancing the anti - tumor effect. Cord blood-derived CAR - NK cell products shorten the treatment time and are inexpensive. Multiple studies have confirmed the feasibility of CAR - NK cells in treating hematological tumors. Blocking the CD70/CD27 signaling pathway plays an important role in inhibiting CD70 - positive tumors, such as refractory/relapsed T - cell lymphoma and acute myeloid leukemia. Pre - clinical studies in our laboratory have proved that CD70 CAR - NK can effectively inhibit the in - vivo and in - vitro proliferation of T - cell lymphoma and prolong survival.
