RN1701 Injection in the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory B-Cell Lymphomas

Starting soon · Early Phase 1

Conditions studied: Relapsed/Refractory B-cell Lymphoma

In brief

This single-arm, open-label pilot study will assess the safety and efficacy of RN1701, a bispecific CD19/CD20-targeted allogeneic CAR-T-cell product, in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma. Up to 19 participants will be enrolled in a conventional 3 + 3 dose-escalation scheme. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of RN1701 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma. The secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of RN1701 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma. The exploratory objective is to evaluate the expansion, persistence, and ability of RN1701 to deplete CD19- and/or CD20-positive cells in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 75. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• 1. Voluntary participation; full understanding of the study and provision of written informed consent obtained before any study-related procedure not part of standard care; willingness to comply with follow-up.
• 2. Age 18-75 years; either sex.
• 3. ECOG performance status 0-1.
• 4. Histologically confirmed large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle-cell lymphoma, or indolent lymphoma transformed to DLBCL; CD19 and/or CD20 positive.
• 5. At least one measurable lesion per Lugano criteria: nodal lesion longest diameter >1.5 cm, extranodal lesion >1.0 cm.
• 6. Prior treatment response must meet one of the following: • Large B-cell lymphoma, grade 3B follicular lymphoma, transformed indolent lymphoma: i. Primary refractory and ineligible/unable to receive autologous CAR-T: best response PD after ≥2 cycles of first-line therapy, or SD after ≥4 cycles. ii. Relapse ≤12 months after achieving CR with first-line chemo-immunotherapy. iii. Relapse/progression ≤12 months after autologous HSCT. iv. Refractory to, relapsed after, or progressed on ≥2 prior lines (including autologous CAR-T): best response PD or SD after ≥2 cycles of the most recent regimen. v. Transformed indolent lymphoma: prior chemotherapy for iNHL and ≥1 systemic regimen after transformation, fulfilling the above refractory/relapse criteria. • Grade 1, 2, or 3A follicular lymphoma: i. Primary refractory and ineligible/unable to receive autologous CAR-T: best response PD after ≥2 cycles of first-line therapy. ii. Refractory to, relapsed after, or progressed on ≥2 prior lines (including autologous CAR-T): best response PD or SD after ≥2 cycles of the most recent regimen. • Mantle-cell lymphoma: i. Primary refractory and ineligible/unable to receive autologous CAR-T: best response PD after ≥2 cycles of first-line therapy, or SD after ≥4 cycles. ii. Refractory to, relapsed after, or progressed on ≥2 prior lines (including autologous CAR-T): best response PD or SD after ≥2 cycles of the most recent regimen.
• 7. Estimated life expectancy ≥3 months.
• 8. Screening laboratory values (may be repeated once): • Hemoglobin ≥8.0 g/dL (no transfusion within 7 days). • Platelets ≥50×10⁹/L (no transfusion within 7 days). • ANC ≥1.0×10⁹/L (growth-factor support allowed if none within 7 days of test). • AST/ALT ≤3×ULN (≤5×ULN if liver involvement). • Serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN or CrCl ≥60 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault). • Total bilirubin ≤2×ULN (≤3×ULN if liver involvement); except congenital bilirubin disorders (e.g., Gilbert's syndrome: direct bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN). • INR, PT, APTT <1.5×ULN.
• 9. Toxicities from prior anti-cancer therapy (except alopecia, nausea, and the above lab values) must have stabilized at baseline or resolved to ≤Grade 1.
• 10. WOCBP must have a negative high-sensitivity serum β-hCG pregnancy test at screening and again before the first dose of cyclophosphamide/fludarabine.
• 11. Subjects of reproductive potential must use effective contraception for ≥12 months after completing study therapy.

You may not qualify if…

• Subjects with any of the following conditions are ineligible for this trial:
• 1. Any malignancy other than B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma ever diagnosed or treated, except: • Malignancy that received curative therapy and has shown no evidence of active disease for ≥2 years before enrolment; or • Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer with no current evidence of disease.
