Dose-escalating Trial With UniCAR02-T Cells and CD123 Target Module (TM123) in Patients With Hematologic and Lymphatic Malignancies
Multicenter, Open-label, Adaptive Design Phase I Trial With Genetically Modified T-cells Carrying Universal Chimeric Antigen Receptors (UniCAR02-T) in Combination With CD123 Target Module (TM123) for the Treatment of Patients With Hematologic and Lymphatic Malignancies Positive for CD123

This dose-escalating phase I trial assesses for the first time the safety, the side effects and the harmlessness, as well as the therapeutical benefit of the new study drug UniCAR02-T-CD123 in patients with hematologic and lymphatic malignancies positive for CD123 marker. The UniCAR02-T-CD123 drug is a combination of a cellular component (UniCAR02-T) with a recombinant antibody derivative (TM123) which together forms the active drug.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Presence of autoantibodies against La/Sjögren syndrome (SS)-B or presence or history of autoimmune diseases
Known hypersensitivity to cellular component (UniCAR02-T) and/or targeting module (TM123) excipients or to compounds of the lymphodepletion therapy or tocilizumab or corticosteroids
Evidence suggesting that the patient is not likely to follow the study protocol
Incapability of understanding purpose and possible consequences of the trial
Patients who should not be included according to the opinion of the investigator
