About this trial

This is a multiple center, non-randomized, open-label, phase 1/2 study. The primary objective of Phase 1 is to evaluate the safety of PL001 and find the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). The objective of Phase 2 is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CD19 CAR-T(known as PL001).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient is ≥14 years of age, inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.

Histologically confirmed diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBCL), large B-cell lymphoma transformed from follicular lymphoma (FL), or grade 3a or 3b FL.

On-site documentation of CD19 on the dominant population of cancer cells.

Patients with previous autologous-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto HSCT) have relapsed, progressive, or refractory disease (defined as having not achieved a CR) after transplantation regardless of lines of systemic therapy.

Disqualifiers

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia with Richter's transformation.

Primary CNS lymphoma. (Non-primary CNS lymphoma with CNS involvement is eligible).

Primary intra-ocular lymphoma.

Prior CD19 targeted therapy, such as CAR-T, Bi-specific T-cell engagers (BiTE), or monoclonal antibody.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T-cell

    Biological/Vaccine

    Drug: Fludarabine patients will receive a lymphodepletion chemotherapy with Fludarabine 25 mg/m2/day IV for 3 days on Day-5 to Day-3(a safe window for a small subset of patients will be D -7 to D -3). Drug: Cyclophosphamide patients will receive a lymphodepletion chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2/day IV for 3 dys Day-5 to Day-3(a safe window for a small subset of patients will be D -7 to D -3). Biological: CD19 CAR-T CD19 CAR-T cells will be administered using as a single dose at 0.1-9\*10\^6 cells/kg on Day 0 after completion of the lymphodepletion chemotherapy. The body weight calculated for PL001 dose is the actual body weight on the day of leukapheresis.
