Fourth-gen CAR T Cells Targeting CD19/CD22 for Highly Resistant B-cell Lymphoma/Leukemia (PMBCL/CNS-BCL).

This is an open-label, single-arm, phase I clinical trial with dose escalation designed to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic properties of Human CD19-CD22 Targeted T Cells Infusion. The primary objectives are to preliminarily assess the impact of Human CD19-CD22 Targeted T Cells Infusion in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and to explore the appropriate dose and reinfusion schedule for phase II. Eligible participants, including those with Central Nervous System Lymphoma, B Cell Lymphoma (BCL), Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL), Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL), Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), Refractory B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL), Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, Lymphoid Leukemia, and MRD-positive cases, can participate. Eligibility will be determined through a comprehensive assessment, including disease evaluations, a physical examination, Electrocardiograph, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and blood tests. Prior to the infusion of CD19-CD22 CAR+ T cells, participants will undergo chemotherapy. After the infusion, participants will be closely monitored for potential side effects and the effectiveness of CD19-CD22 CAR+ T cells. Certain study procedures may be conducted during hospitalization.

Sequential CD146 and GPC3 CAR-T Cell Therapy in Advanced Ovarian Cancer

This is a multicenter, open-label Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of sequentially administered CD146-targeted and GPC3-targeted CAR-T cell therapy in patients with advanced relapsed or refractory ovarian cancer. Eligible patients will undergo lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, followed by an infusion of autologous CD146-directed CAR-T cells (Arm A) and a subsequent infusion of autologous GPC3-directed CAR-T cells (Arm B). The Phase 1 portion will assess safety, tolerability, and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) to determine a recommended Phase 2 dose, while the Phase 2 portion will evaluate efficacy endpoints including objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Patients will be followed for up to 36 months after CAR-T infusion to monitor long-term outcomes and adverse events.

Sequential Infusion of CD146-Targeted and HER2-Targeted CAR T Cells in Patients With Advanced Sarcomas

This is an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter Phase 1/2 trial evaluating a dual CAR-T cell therapy targeting CD146 and HER2 in patients with advanced sarcoma. Participants will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, followed by sequential infusion of autologous CD146-specific and HER2-specific CAR-T cells. The Phase 1 portion will employ a dose-escalation design to assess safety and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose, while the Phase 2 expansion will evaluate preliminary efficacy (tumor response and survival outcomes). Approximately 40 patients (children and adults) with relapsed or refractory sarcomas will be enrolled across multiple centers. All participants will be followed for up to 36 months to monitor dose-limiting toxicities, objective response rates, progression-free survival, overall survival, and long-term safety.

TIL Therapy Combined With Pembrolizumab for Advanced or Metastatic Refractory Stomach and Esophageal Cancer

This Phase I/II study evaluates the safety and efficacy of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) therapy combined with Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) immunotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic refractory stomach and esophageal cancer. Lifileucel (Amtagvi), the first FDA-approved TIL therapy, has shown significant promise in treating unresectable or metastatic melanoma by leveraging the patient's own immune cells to target and destroy cancer cells. This study aims to apply a similar approach to stomach and esophageal cancers. TILs will be harvested from patients' tumors, expanded in vitro, and infused back into the patients following a non-myeloablative lymphodepletion regimen. Pembrolizumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets the PD-1 receptor on T cells, will be administered to enhance the immune response. The primary endpoint is to determine the objective response rate (ORR) of this combined therapy. Secondary endpoints include disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), duration of response (DOR), and quality of life (QoL). This trial aims to provide a novel, personalized treatment option for patients with limited therapeutic alternatives.

Sequential CAR-T Cells Therapy for CD5/CD7 Positive T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Lymphoblastic Lymphoma Using CD5/CD7-Specific CAR-T Cells

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cells targeted against CD19 have demonstrated unprecedented successes in treating patients with hematopoietic and lymphoid malignancies. Besides CD19, many other molecules such as CD22, CD30,BCMA,CD123, etc. may be the potential to develop the corresponding CAR-T cells to treat patients whose tumors express those markers. In this study, investigators will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Sequential CAR-T Cells Targeting CD5/CD7 in patients with patients with relapsed or refractory T-ALL/LBL/ETP-ALL. The primary goal is safety assessment including cytokine storm response and any other adverse effects. In addition, disease status after treatment will also be evaluated.
