Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of a new type of gene-modified T cell therapy called 4SCAR19 for patients with B cell malignancies that have returned or not responded to standard treatments. This phase I/II trial involves multiple clinical centers and aims to study both clinical responses and the development of a standardized process to produce these modified cells. The therapy uses a fourth-generation chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that targets CD19 on cancer cells and includes safety features to control immune responses. The treatment process involves collecting a patient’s blood cells through apheresis, activating and modifying their T cells with the 4SCAR19 gene using a lentiviral vector, and then infusing these engineered cells back into the patient. Before infusion, patients receive a chemotherapy-based conditioning regimen with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine to prepare their immune system. The cell preparation takes approximately 5 to 7 days, and the modified cells are infused following the conditioning treatment. Participants will be closely monitored for safety and treatment responses, including tracking the presence of CAR T cells in their blood over time. Safety is assessed using standard criteria for adverse events over 24 weeks, while tumor response is followed for up to one year. Throughout the study, patients undergo clinical evaluations and laboratory tests to measure outcomes and monitor for any side effects. The trial is expected to continue until the end of 2029.
