Study summary

This is a phase II clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pCAR-19 B cell autologous infusion preparation in the treatment of CD19-positive relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Read the detailed description

This is a multiple-center, single-arm, open-label study. After meeting the eligibility criteria and enrolling on the trial, patients will undergo leukapheresis for collection of autologous lymphocytes. Once cells have been manufactured, patients will then proceed to lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide 20mg/kg and fludarabine 25mg/m\^2 for 3 consecutive days followed by the infusion of CD19 CAR T-cells at a target dose of 0.6-2 x10\^6 cells/kg.
