A Study of YTS109 Cell Injection in Subjects With Relapsed/Refractory Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

NCT06770504 | Not Yet Recruiting Phase 1

• 1 other identifier: YTS109-004
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 7
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

This is a Phase I, single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of YTS109 START T-cell therapy in patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia who have failed ≥3 lines of therapy.

Conditions

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia; Anti-CD19 STAR T-cell Therapy; Failure ≥3 Lines of Therapies

Keywords

Relapsed/Refractory Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia; CD19-STAR T cells

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Dose Limiting Toxicity

  Within 28 days after infusion

• The incidence and frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events

  Safety assessments are conducted using the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 standards.

  Within 12 months after infusion

• Best overall response rate (BOR) of each dose group

  BOR is determined as the most favorable response observed after cell infusion, until either disease relapse or the completion of a specified observation period.

  Within 12 weeks after infusion

• Objective response rate (ORR) of each dose group

  Within 4 weeks after infusion

• Time to response (TTR)

  TTR is defined as the duration from cell infusion to the achievement of a hematological response

  Within 6 months after infusion

Study Arms (1)
