Study Description

This study is a single-arm, open-label, dose-finding and expansion clinical trial aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of anti-CD5 CAR-NK therapy for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory T-Cell hematologic malignancies. The goal is to determine the recommended dose of CAR-NK cell therapy for these conditions. The study includes three dose groups: 1×10⁷ CAR-positive cells/kg, 3×10⁷ CAR-positive cells/kg, and 5×10⁷ CAR-positive cells/kg. Each patient will initially receive a single infusion of CAR-NK cells on Day 0. If a suboptimal response is observed after the first infusion (assessed by Day 28) and the safety profile remains acceptable, a second infusion may be administered as a remedial dose after Day 28. The investigaors have the flexibility to adjust the second infusion dose based on the subject's condition.
