RN1201 Injection in the Treatment of Antibody-Mediated Diseases

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called RN1201 Injection for people with certain blood disorders caused by the immune system attacking platelets, which are cells that help blood clot. Specifically, it focuses on patients whose conditions—either a problem with platelet transfusions not working well or a type of low platelet count called immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)—have not improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if RN1201 is safe to use, if it’s possible to give this treatment, and whether it shows any early signs of helping these patients.

People who may be eligible are those aged 16 to 65 with a diagnosis of these specific blood problems that haven’t responded to usual therapies, and who meet certain health requirements like having a good heart function and no serious infections. If accepted, participants will receive an infusion of RN1201 cells after a preparatory treatment to help the new cells work better. During the study, doctors will closely monitor their safety, how well the treatment works, and how the immune system responds. It’s important to know this trial is still in the early stages and not yet recruiting patients, but it offers hope for people who have limited treatment options for these challenging conditions.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion Criteria:
• Inclusion: - specific for Refractory immune-mediated PTR:
• • 1. Aged 16-65 years
• • 2. Diagnosed with refractory immune-mediated PTR
• • 3. Resistant to at least 3 standard therapies
• • 4. Able to understand the study and consent
• • 5. Projected survival time exceeding three months
• • 6. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≥0.5 (as measured by echocardiogram)
• • 7. Creatinine \<1.6 mg/dL
• • 8. Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) \< three times the upper limit of normal
• • 9. Total bilirubin \<2.0 mg/dL
• • 10. Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score ≥60.
• • Inclusion: -specific for Relapsed or Refractory Immune Thrombocytopenia
• • 1. Written informed consent obtained;
• • 2. Male or female patients aged 18 years or older on the day of informed consent signing;
• • 3. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≥50% with no pericardial effusion;
• • 4. As assessed by the investigator, systemic treatment drugs (excluding supportive and symptomatic treatment, and prednisone at a daily dose of ≤10 mg or equivalent) can be discontinued prior to lymphodepletion preconditioning.
• • 5. Historically diagnosed with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) (based on the 2019 International Working Group for ITP and the American Society of Hematology (ASH));
• • 6. At least two consecutive blood routine examinations showing reduced platelet count, with no significant abnormalities in blood cell morphology on peripheral blood smear microscopy;
• • 7. At the screening visit, the subject has no splenomegaly;
• • 8. Bone marrow examination: the bone marrow cytology of ITP patients is characterized by increased or normal megakaryocytes with maturation disorders (investigators may assess whether to accept previous bone marrow examination reports, and if previous reports are used, they must be kept as copies in the study documents);
• • 9. The subject is a refractory ITP patient who has not responded to first-line treatment drugs, second-line thrombopoiesis-stimulating agents, and rituximab therapy, or who has undergone ineffective splenectomy or postoperative recurrence, and after re-evaluation of the diagnosis, is still confirmed to have ITP;
• • 10. Relapsed ITP is defined as a decrease in platelet count to below 30×10⁹/L after an initial response to treatment, or to less than twice the baseline level, or the reappearance of bleeding symptoms.
• • 11. The subject has received at least four weeks of the most recent treatment (non-biological background therapy, antimalarial monotherapy, antimalarial combined with oral glucocorticoids (OCS) and/or immunosuppressants, or combined therapy with OCS and/or immunosuppressants).
• Exclusion Criteria:
• Exclusion: - specific for Refractory immune-mediated PTR:
• • 1. Uncontrolled active infection
• • 2. Active hepatitis B or C infection
• • 3. Patient has HIV or syphilis infection
• • 4. Patient is pregnant or breastfeeding
• • 5. Patient has a history of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT)
• • 6. Conventional treatment for antibody-mediated disease is effective
• • 7. According to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, patients with Class III/IV cardiovascular dysfunction
• • 8. Other contraindications that make participation in this study unsuitable.
• • Exclusion: - specific for Relapsed or Refractory Immune Thrombocytopenia
• • 1. Patients with the following conditions at the screening visit: Neutrophil count \<1×10⁹/L; serum creatinine \>1.5× upper limit of normal (ULN); immunoglobulin G (IgG) \<5 g/L.
• • 2. Subjects with Class III or IV heart failure according to the NYHA classification (see Appendix I)
• • 3. Subjects with a history of epilepsy or other central nervous system diseases
• • 4. Patients with active viral, bacterial or other infections requiring systemic treatment at the screening visit (including active or latent tuberculosis (TB) or SARS-CoV-2), or with a history of clinically significant recurrent infections (e.g., Bacillus infection);
• • 5. Herpes or varicella-zoster virus infection within 12 weeks prior to the screening visit (particularly shingles);
• • 6. Patients positive for HCV or HBsAg are excluded. HBcAb-positive patients are eligible only if HBsAg (regardless of anti-HBs status) and HBV DNA are negative;
• • 7. Known history of primary or secondary immunodeficiency, or positive test results for HIV (ELISA and Western blot) at the screening visit;
• • 8. Live vaccine or attenuated live vaccine administration within 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit;
• • 9. Breastfeeding or pregnancy at the screening visit or prior to medication administration (positive serum or urine - β-hCG pregnancy test);
• • 10. Females of childbearing potential and males whose partners are of childbearing potential must use medically approved contraception or abstain from sexual intercourse during the study treatment period and for at least 6 months after its completion. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum HCG test within 7 days before study enrollment and must not be breastfeeding;
• • 11. History of malignancy, except for cured non-melanoma skin cancer, carcinoma in situ (e.g., cervical, breast, bladder, or prostate cancer), and tumors in complete remission for at least 3 years without evidence of recurrence;
• • 12. Any severe and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric condition, or other disease that the investigator considers may interfere with the patient's efficacy, safety, informed consent, or compliance with the trial protocol;
• • 13. Known hypersensitivity, intolerance, or contraindication to RN1201 or any excipients in the study drugs (including Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide, and Tocilizumab), or a history of severe allergic reactions;
• • 14. Participation in other investigational studies within 30 days prior to enrollment or within five half-lives of the study drug, whichever is longer.
