Study summary

This study is a single-arm, open-label, exploratory dose-escalation and dosefinding clinical trial to evaluate the safety, efficacy, cellular pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of CT0596 cells in patients with PCL.

Read the detailed description

This study is a single-arm, open-label, exploratory dose-escalation and dosefinding clinical trial to evaluate the safety, efficacy, cellular pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of CT0596 cells in patients with PCL. During the trial, dose increases or decreases or dose expansion may be performed using i3+3 principle based on the safety and ,tolerability and PK data of the patients.
