KSD-101 Therapy for EBV-associated Haematologic Neoplasms: an Exploratory Clinical Trial

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The primary objectives of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of KSD-101 in Patients with EBV-associated haematologic neoplasms, observe the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and and to explore the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

A patient aged 18 - 70 years ( inclusive ) on the day of signing the informed consent form, male or female. A patient who is diagnosed with EBV - associated haematologic neoplasms，and fail to respond or relapse after conventional treatment, or voluntarily choose therapeutic DC vaccines as the salvage therapy.

A patient who has a lymph node area where subcutaneous injection can be performed. Exclusion Criteria: A patient who has received any anticancer therapy such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy (eg, immunosuppressive drugs) within one month prior to screening. A female patient who is pregnant (positive urine/blood pregnancy test) or breastfeeding, or a male/female patient who plans to conceive in recent 1 year. A patient who has positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb), with positive titer of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in peripheral blood; or has positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in peripheral blood, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, or syphilis. A patient who has central nervous system disorders (e.g., brain oedema, hormonal intervention indicated, or progression of brain metastases). Patients had an uncontrollable infectious disease within the first 4 weeks of enrollment（ except the CTCAE toxicity grade is less than 2 of genitourinary infections and upper respiratory tract infections , EBV infection） A patient who has serious underlying diseases (such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory disorder, renal insufficiency, coagulation disorder, autoimmune disease or immunodeficiency disease, etc.). A patient who has had other active malignancies within the last 3 years, unless curable and clearly cured, such as basal or squamous cell carcinoma, carcinoma in situ of cervix or breast, etc. A patient who has received prophylactic live or live-attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks prior to screening A patient who has participated in other clinical studies within 4 weeks prior to screening A patient who has a prior history of serious drug allergy or penicillin allergy. A patient who has a history of drug abuse/addiction. A patient who has any conditions resulting in ineligibility for enrollment as judged by the investigator.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) by dose group | Dose limiting toxicity will be assessed after injection in each dose group | 1 years after DC Vaccines injection | 
| Incidence of maximally tolerated dose (MTD) by dose grouphaematologic neoplasms | Maximally tolerated dose will be assessed after injection in each dose group | 1 years after DC Vaccines injection | 
| Type and incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) by dose group | Calculate type and incidence of adverse events (AE), serious adverse event (SAE), including those happened after injection, those related to study drug, or those that led to withdrawal from the study. They will also be aggregated by systematic organ classification (SOC), preferred term (PT), and severity. | 1 years after DC Vaccines injection | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| EBV-DNA load | The load levels of EBV-DNA will be detected at each time point | 1 years after DC Vaccines injection | 
| Objective response rate (ORR) | The percentage of participants who achieved PR or better response | 1 years after DC Vaccines injection | 
| Disease control rate (DCR) | The percentage of participants who achieved SD or better response | 1 years after DC Vaccines injection | 
| Duration of response (DOR) | DOR will be calculated among responders (with a PR or better response) from the date of initial documentation of a response (PR or better) to the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease | 1 years after DC Vaccines injection | 
| Progression-free survival (PFS) | The time from the start of CAR-GPRC5D treatment for the participants to the first time of disease progression or death for any reason | 1 years after DC Vaccines injection | 
| Overall survival (OS) | OS is measured from the date of the initial injection of DC Vaccines to the date of the participant's death | 1 years after DC Vaccines injection | 
| Levels of EBV-specific CD8+ T cells | EBV-specific CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood will be assessed to monitor changes | 1 years after DC Vaccines injection |
