BAFF CAR-T Cells (LMY-922) for Treatment of Refractory Hematologic Malignancies (NCT07679919)
A Phase 1 Study of Allogeneic (γ/δ) BAFF CAR-T Cells (LMY-922) for Treatment of Refractory Hematologic Malignancies
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Therapy with chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells has demonstrated activity against refractory hematologic malignancies, however not all tumors respond or remain in response to CD19 targeted CAR-T cells. We posit that CAR-T cells expressing BAFF (BAFF CAR-T cells) can become another strategy to treat refractory hematologic malignancies, even after relapse following cluster of differentiation antigen 19 (CD19) targeting CAR-T treatment. This phase 1 study will evaluate safe dose and provide initial signal of the activity of BAFF CAR-T cells against refractory hematologic malignancies using a single lymphodepletion regimen and using a BAFF CAR-T cell manufacturing process.

🧪 Interventions in This Study
📋 "Do I Qualify?" — 1-Minute Self Screener
Instant ChecklistCheck every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).
Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:
- Exclusion Criteria:
- Second active (i.e., currently requires antineoplastic therapy) non-B cell lineage malignancy, other than non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ (e.g. cervix, bladder, breast).
- Renal failure requiring regular dialysis.
- Uncontrolled pulmonary disease or infection.
- Cardiovascular disorders including symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction or stroke (including transient ischemic attack, or other ischemic event) within 6 months prior to registration.
- Active infection requiring systemic treatment.
- HIV seropositive with a history of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining opportunistic infections within 12 months of enrollment, or has not been on an established antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least four weeks with an HIV viral load less than 400 copies/mL.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded from this study (breastfeeding should be discontinued), because there is an unknown, but potential risk for adverse events in fetuses and nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with LMY-922 and lymphodepleting chemotherapy. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test.
- Serologic status reflecting active hepatitis B or C infection. Patients that are positive for hepatitis B core antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C antibody must have a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) prior to enrollment. (PCR positive patients will be excluded.)
- Patients with history of clinically relevant central nervous system (CNS) pathology such as uncontrolled epilepsy, paresis, aphasia, uncontrolled cerebrovascular disease, severe brain injuries, dementia, and Parkinson's disease.
- Subjects with uncontrolled intercurrent or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- Patients receiving a live vaccine within 2 weeks prior to screening.
