    Arms of the Study

    Arm 1

    Arm Type

    Experimental

    Arm Label

    ThisCART19A cells infusion and HSCT

    Arm Description

    In this study, allogeneic anti-CD19 CAR T cell (ThisCART19A) infusion is used to treat patients with refractory or relapsed CD19 positive B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. After patients achieve MRD- remissions through ThisCART19A, they will subsequently receive hematological stem cell transplantations.

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Dose limited toxicity(DLT) observation in patient with B-ALL in each dose level during dose escalation and dose expansion stage
    DLT is defined as the incidence of severe adverse events related to ThisCART19A more than 33% in each dose level.
    Overall Complete Response (OCR) Rate (Complete Remission [CR]+ Complete Remission With Incomplete Hematologic Recovery [CRi]) within 3 months
    OCR rate within 3 months: percentage of participants achieving CR+CRi within 3 months after CAR-T cell infusion.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Minimum Residual Disease (MRD) Negative Remission Rate
    MRD was assessed utilizing multicolor flow cytometry to detect residual cancerous cells with a sensitivity of 10^-4. MRD negative remission was defined as MRD < 10^-4 threshold. Percentage of participants with MRD negative remission was reported.
    Duration of response(DOR) during dose escalation stage and expansion stage
    DOR was defined as the time from first CR or CRi to relapse or any death in the absence of documented relapse.
    RFS (Relapse-free Survival)
    RFS is defined as the time from the date of ThisCART19A infusion to the date of disease relapse or death from any cause.
    EFS (Event-free Survival)
    EFS is defined as the time from the date of ThisCART19A infusion to the date of disease relapse, progression, genetic relapse or death from any cause.
    OS (Overall Survival)
    OS is defined as the time from the date of ThisCART19A infusion to the date of death from any cause.
