Summary
This study is a single arm, open label, exploratory clinical study aimed at evaluating the efficacy, and safety of allogeneic umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of long-term cytopenia after CAR-T therapy.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria7
- Patients must meet all the following criteria to be enrolled in this study:
- Voluntarily participate in the study and sign the informed consent form;
- Aged ≥ 18 years, regardless of gender;
- Patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), lymphoma, or myeloma who still have severe cytopenia (meeting any of the following conditions: absolute neutrophil count ≤ 1×10⁹/L; platelet count ≤ 30×10⁹/L; hemoglobin ≤ 70 g/dL) 3 weeks after CAR-T cell infusion;
- ECOG performance status score ≤ 2;
- Estimated survival time ≥ 6 months;
- For female patients of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test result is required. Female patients of childbearing potential and male patients must use highly effective contraceptive measures during the study period and for 4 months/6 months after the discontinuation of treatment, respectively.
Exclusion Criteria17
- Patients with any of the following conditions are prohibited from enrolling in this study:
- Having received other anti-tumor treatments (including but not limited to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation) that may affect the hematopoietic system or blood cell count within 1 month before the screening period after CAR-T cell infusion;
- Significant bone marrow infiltration by tumor cells during the screening period (for ALL: bone marrow morphological examination showing leukemia cell proportion > 5%; for multiple myeloma (MM) and lymphoma: bone marrow flow cytometry showing positive minimal residual disease (MRD), or bone marrow pathological immunohistochemistry showing lymphoma/clonal plasma cell infiltration);
- Presence of any of the following conditions within 1 week before the first dose administration: infection with hemodynamic instability (requiring vasoactive drug support); deep fungal infection confirmed by imaging or microbiology (e.g., invasive aspergillosis, bloodstream infection, etc.); Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, active tuberculosis, viremia (cytomegalovirus, parvovirus B19, etc.), and viral pneumonia (cytomegalovirus, COVID-19 virus, influenza virus, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, etc.); as well as other severe infections that may affect hematopoiesis as judged by the investigator;
- Serum creatinine or blood urea nitrogen ≥ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN);
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≥ 3 times ULN; total bilirubin ≥ 1.5 times ULN;
- Other severe and/or uncontrolled diseases, or conditions that may affect study participation as judged by the investigator, including but not limited to: severe cardiac rhythm or conduction abnormalities (e.g., ventricular arrhythmias requiring clinical intervention, second-degree to third-degree atrioventricular block, etc.), corrected QT interval using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) > 480 ms on electrocardiogram; New York Heart Association (NYHA) heart function classification of Grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ; uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (glycated hemoglobin \[HbA1c\] > 9%); refractory hypertension; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (forced expiratory volume in 1 second \[FEV1\] < 50% of predicted value), etc.;
- History of arteriovenous thrombosis or atherosclerosis;
- Positive for anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody or anti-Treponema pallidum specific antibody; positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg); or positive for hepatitis B core antibody with hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (HBV-DNA) > ULN; or hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV-RNA) > ULN;
- A history of or current malignant solid tumor (except cured non-invasive basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and/or other cured carcinoma in situ; except other malignant tumors that have achieved clinical cure for > 5 years with no recurrence within 5 years);
- Within 6 months after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, or donor cell chimerism rate ≤ 95%, or presence of active acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) of Grade Ⅱ or higher, or moderate to severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD);
- Having received a live vaccine within 4 weeks before the first dose administration, or planning to receive any live vaccine during the study period;
- Pregnant or lactating female patients;
- Patients with mental disorders;
- Participation in any other study drug trial (including vaccine trials) or exposure to other study drugs within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before the first dose administration;
- Patients who refuse to sign the informed consent form;
- Other conditions deemed unsuitable for study inclusion by the investigator.
