Phase 1
Clinical Trial of CD5-targeted CAR-NK Therapy for Relapse/Refractory T-Cell Hematologic Malignancies
Condition(s) studied
T-ALL/Lymphoma
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Anti-CD5 CAR NK cells
Anti-CD5 CAR NK cells: Each patient will initially receive a single infusion of CAR-NK cells on Day 0. If a suboptimal response is observed after the first infusion (assessed by Day 28) and the safety profile remains acceptable, a second infusion may be administered as a remedial dose after Day 28. CAR-NK cells need to be controlled within 70 minutes from thawing to infusion completion.
Study summary
This is a clincal trial initiated by investigator to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-CD5 CAR-NK in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory T-Cell hematologic malignancies.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
\-
1.Gender and Age: No gender restriction; age 18-75 years (inclusive). 2.Diagnosis: Confirmed diagnosis of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or T-cell lymphoma, including:
1. T-ALL Patients: Bone marrow morphology during screening shows ≥5% blasts/immature lymphocytes and/or flow cytometry confirms minimal residual disease (MRD)+, and meets any of the following:
1. Refractory to ≥2 cycles of standard induction chemotherapy (failure to achieve CR).
2. Relapsed within 12 months after achieving CR with first-line induction therapy.
3. Failure to achieve CR or relapse after ≥2 lines of chemotherapy.
4. Relapse after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
2. T-cell Lymphoma Patients: Confirmed diagnosis of T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) or T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (including but not limited to: peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL), T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL), adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), mycosis fungoides/Sézary syndrome (MF/SS) stage IIB or higher), and meets both:

2. Refractory to ≥2 lines of chemotherapy, primary resistance, or relapse post-HSCT.
3.CD5 Positivity: Confirmed by flow cytometry (≥80% tumor cells express CD5 with mean fluorescence intensity \[MFI\] equivalent to normal T cells; Dim defined as MFI ≥1 log lower than normal T cells; partial positivity defined as 20-80% tumor cells expressing CD5) or immunohistochemistry (\>30% tumor cells express CD5).

6. Viral Infections:
1. HBV DNA \> ULN (if HBsAg+ or HBcAb+).
2. HCV RNA \> ULN (if HCV Ab+).
3. HIV+, syphilis+, or active tuberculosis.
7. Cardiac Disease:
1. NYHA Class III/IV congestive heart failure.
2. Myocardial infarction or CABG ≤6 months prior.
3. Clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia or unexplained syncope (excluding vasovagal/dehydration-related).
4. Severe cardiomyopathy.
8. Active/Uncontrolled Autoimmune Disease.
9. Prior Malignancy: Within 5 years, except for cured cervical carcinoma in situ, basal/squamous skin cancer, localized prostate cancer, or ductal carcinoma in situ.
10. Live Vaccination: Within 4 weeks prior to screening.
11. Pregnancy/Lactation: Pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy within 1 year post-CAR-NK infusion.

Primary outcome measure(s)
- Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] — 28 dyas
The incidence of adverse events after CAR-NK cell infusion was assessed by CTCAE, version 5.0.
- Objective response rate (ORR) — 1month, 2 months, 3 months
Objective Response Rate (ORR) within 3 Months:
1. For patients with T-cell lymphoma, ORR includes complete response (CR) and partial response (PR);
2. For patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), ORR includes CR, CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh), CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), and morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS).
- Overall survival (OS) after CAR-NK infusion — 2 years
OS is defined as the time from CAR-NK cell infusion to death from any cause, reflecting the long-term survival benefit of the therapy.
- Duration of response (DOR) after CAR-NK infusion — 2 years
DOR measures the time from the first achievement of objective response to disease progression or death, evaluating the durability of treatment efficacy in responding patients.
- Progression-Free-Survival (PFS) after CAR-NK infusion — 2 years
PFS is the time from CAR-NK cell infusion to disease progression or death from any cause, capturing both tumor control and survival outcomes
