Relmacabtagene Autoleucel for the Treatment of Systemic Sclerosis

A Dose Ranging Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerance, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Relmacabtagene Autoleucel (Relma-cel) in Patients With Refractory/Progressive Systemic Sclerosis


Sponsor

Liangjing Lu

Enrollment

6 participants

Start Date

Jun 12, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Relma-cel is a product containing CD19-CAR-transduced T cells. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of Relma-cel at different dose levels in patients with early diffuse systemic sclerosis. Efficacy will be explored too. If enrolled, participants will undergo leukapheresis, lymphodepleting chemotherapy and administration of Relma-cel.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 65 Years

Inclusion Criteria18

  • voluntary to sign the ICF
  • aged between 18-65 years old (inclusive)
  • diagnosed with diffuse systemic sclerosis according to 2013 ACR Systemic Sclerosis Classification Criterion
  • meet the definitions of refractory/progressive as below:
  • refractory: non-respondent to or disease recurrence after remission with conventional therapies. Conventional therapies are defined as treated for more than 6 months with low dose steroids (≤ 15 mg prednisone equivalent), cyclophosphamide, antimalarials, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, leflunomide, tacrolimus, cyclosporin or biologics such as rituximab, belimumab, telitacicept, tocilizumab;
  • progressive: having below manifestations within 6 months
  • mRSS increases by >= 3
  • FVC decreases by > 10% or FVC decreases by > 5% and DLCO decreases by > 15%
  • without systemic active infections within 2 weeks of leukapheresis, e.g., infectious pneumonia, tuberculosis
  • available vascular access for leukapheresis
  • major organ functions:
  • Renal function: CrCl ≥50 ml/min (Cockcroft/Gault equation)
  • Bone marrow function: ANC ≥ 1000/uL, absolute lymphocyte count ≥100/uL, Hb ≥90 g/L, Platelet count ≥75 x 10\^9/L. Blood transfusion and infusion of growth factors within 7 days of eligibility assessment are not allowed.
  • Liver function: ALT ≤ 3 x ULN, AST ≤ 3 x ULN, total bilirubin ≤ 2 x ULN (in case of Gilbert syndrome, total bilirubin ≤ 3 x ULN)
  • Coagulation: INR ≤ 1.5 x ULN, PT ≤1.5 x ULN
  • Cardiac function: LVEF ≥ 55%
  • negative result of serum β-hCG measurement for women of childbearing potential at screening and within 48 hours of the first dose of lymphodepletion
  • Female subjects with childbearing potential or male subjects with partners of childbearing potential should adopt medically effective contraception or abstinence from enrollment to 2 years after the end of the study; female subjects with childbearing potential should have a negative serum hCG test within 7 days of enrollment and not in lactation

Exclusion Criteria16

  • NYHA class IV
  • FVC predicted < 45% or DLCO predicted < 40%
  • abnormalities on HRCT not attributable to systemic sclerosis
  • history of autologous stem cell transplantation
  • with manifestations of renal crisis
  • with other autoimmune comorbidities that need systemic treatment
  • with a history of severe drug allergy
  • with congenital immunoglobulin deficiency
  • with malignant tumors, except for nonmelanoma skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer which has been disease free for more than 2 years
  • with psychiatric diseases or severe cognition dysfunctions
  • within 5 half-life cycles of the last administration of an investigational product
  • pregnant, lactation or plan to be pregnant within one year
  • a history of CAR-T therapy or other gene-modified T cell targeted therapies
  • other conditions that are not suitable for enrollment of the study in the judgement of the investigator
  • the use of any live vaccines against infections within one month of the screening
  • with any manifestations of active tuberculosis at screening
