摘要
Anti-CD 19 chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)T cell therapy has shown impressive efficacy in treating B-cell malignancies.A single-center phase I dose-escalation study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of T cells transduced with CBM.CD19 CAR,a second-generation anti-CD19 CAR bearing 4-1BB costimulatory molecule,for the treatment of patients with refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Ten heavily treated patients with refractory DLBCL were given CBM.CD19 CAR-T cell(C-CAR011)treatment.The overall response rate was 20%and 50%at 4 and 12 weeks after the infusion of C-CAR011,respectively,and the disease control rate was 60%at 12 weeks after infusion.Treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in all patients.The incidence of cytokine release syndrome in all grades and grade^3 was 90%and 0,respectively,which is consistent with the safety profile of axicabtagene ciloleucel and tisagenlecleucel.Neurotoxicity or other dose-limiting toxicides was not observed in any dose cohort of C-CAR011 therapy.Antitumor efficacy was apparent across dose cohorts.Therefore,C-CAR011 is a safe and effective therapeutic option for Chinese patients with refractory DLBCL,and further large-scale clinical trials are warranted.
