Brief Summary:
This is a prospective, single-center, open-label, single-arm study, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Anti-BCMA chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy(BCMA CAR-T)for patients with relapse/refractory Immune thrombocytopenia(R/R ITP).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
ITP Biological: autologous anti-BCMA chimeric antigen receptor T cells Phase 2

Detailed Description:
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a disorder that can lead to easy or excessive bruising and bleeding. Approximately two-thirds of patients achieve remission after/during first-line therapies. However, the other part of patients could not achieve durable remission or even refractory to initial treatments. Those cases, known as relapse/refractory Immune thrombocytopenia (R/R ITP), undergo the heavy burden of disease which decreases the quality of life. Lots of pathogeneses take part in the occurrence of R/R ITP, and the most important one of them is antibody-mediated immune platelet destruction. As far as it is known,human platelet autoantibodies are mainly secreted by plasma cells, especially long-lived plasma cells. Researchers want to explore that can BCMA CAR-T help R/R ITP patients increase platelet count, reduce bleeding episodes and the dose of concomitant medications.

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 5 participants
Allocation: N/A
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Anti-BCMA CAR T-Cell Therapy for Relapsed/Refractory Immune Thrombocytopenia
Actual Study Start Date : January 1, 2022
Estimated Primary Completion Date : December 31, 2022
Estimated Study Completion Date : June 30, 2023


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Anti-BCMA CAR T-cells infusion
R/R ITP patients will accept infusion of autologous anti-BCMA CAR T-cells with a total of 1.0-2.0×10e7/Kg. The patients will be follow-up for 6 months post CAR T-cell therapy.
Biological: autologous anti-BCMA chimeric antigen receptor T cells
Lymphoadenodepletion chemotherapy with FC (fludarabine 30mg/ m2 for 3 consecutive days and cyclophosphamide 300mg/m2 for 3 consecutive days) will be given at day -5, -4 and -3 before CAR T-cells infusion. A total of 1.0-2.0×10e7/Kg autologous anti-BCMA CAR T-cells will be infused by dose-escalation after the lymphoadenodepletion chemotherapy. Dose of CAR T-cells are allowed to be adjusted according to the severity of cytokine release syndrome.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. overall response [ Time Frame: 6-months ]
    The number of participants who achieved CR (defined as platelet count≥100x10e9/L) and PR (defined as platelet count ≥30x10e9/L and at least a 2-fold increase the baseline count and absence of bleeding) at follow-up.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time to response [ Time Frame: 6-months ]
    Time since infusion of CAR T-cells to the time to achieve the response.

  2. Duration of response [ Time Frame: 6-months ]
    Period from the achievement of response to the loss of response.

  3. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: 6-months ]
    Adverse events will be assessed daily during the first 2 weeks after the BCMA CAR-T treatment, and monthly thereafter. Adverse events will be evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.

  4. Evaluation of bleeding events [ Time Frame: 6-months ]
    Bleeding events will be evaluated according to Bleeding rating system of ITP('Chinese guideline on the diagnosis and management of adult primary immune thrombocytopenia (version 2020)').

  5. Evaluation of concomitant therapy [ Time Frame: 6-months ]
    Duration of discontinuation or dose reduction of concomitant treatment,and the degree of decrease of combined treatment from the baseline in patients.

  6. Evaluation of health-related quality of life [ Time Frame: 6-months ]
    Health-related quality of life will be evaluated according to ITP-PAQ (Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia Patient Assessment Questionnaire).
