CD19-targeted CAR T Cells for Patients With Relapsed or Refractory in B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ≤ 30 years and weight ≥10kg.
2. Patients with r/r B-ALL, defined as morphological disease in the bone marrow(≥5% blasts) and either of the following:

   * ≥2 BM relapse;
   * Refractory defined as relapse if first remission\<12 months or not achieving a CR after 1 cycle of a standard induction chemotherapy regimen for relapsed leukemia;primary chemo-refractory as defined by not achieving a CR after 1 cycle of a conventional chemotherapy or 2 cycles of a standard induction chemotherapy regimen for relapsed leukemia;
   * Any BM relapse after HSCT which must be ≥90 days from HSCT at the time of screening, and be required free from GVHD and ended from any immunosuppressive therapy ≥1 month at the time of screening;
   * Patients with Ph+ ALL are eligible if they are intolerant to or have failed two lines of TKI therapy, or if TKI therapy is contraindicated.

   Note: Patients with MRD+ after bridging therapy will be allowed for treatment.
3. Karnofsky (age ≥16 years) or Lansky (age \<16 years) performance status \>60.
4. Adequate organ function.
5. Vascular access is sufficient for leukocyte isolation.
6. Expected survival time \> 3 months.
7. Any non-hematological toxicity due to previous treatment, except for alopecia and peripheral neuropathy, must be restored to ≤ grade 1.
8. Females of childbearing potential (all female subjects who are physiologically capable of becoming pregnant) must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception for 1 year following JWCAR029 infusion; male subjects whose partners are of childbearing potential must agree to use an effective barrier method of contraception for 1 year following JWCAR029 infusion.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. leukemic CNS involvement with active CNS lesions and significant neurodegenerative manifestations, or subjects with CNS grade CNS-2/CNS-3 as assessed by NCCN guidelines (subjects rated CNS-2 due to puncture injury may be enrolled).
2. existing or previous clinically significant CNS lesions such as epilepsy, epileptic seizures, paralysis, aphasia, cerebral edema, stroke, severe brain injury, dementia, Parkinson's disease, cerebellar disease, organic brain syndrome, psychosis, etc.
3. Patients with genetic syndromes other than Down syndrome.
4. Patients with Burkitt's lymphoma.
5. History of malignancy other than B-ALL for at least 2 years prior to enrollment.
6. Subject has HBV, HCV, HIV or syphilis infection at the time of screening.
7. Subject has deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (cancer thrombosis or thrombosis) or pulmonary artery embolism (PE) or is on anticoagulation therapy for DVT or PE within 3 months prior to signing the informed consent form
8. uncontrolled systemic fungal, bacterial, viral or other infections.
9. Combination of active autoimmune diseases requiring immunosuppressive therapy.
10. Acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease.
11. History of any of the following cardiovascular diseases within the past 6 months: Class III or IV heart failure as defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA), cardiac angioplasty or stenting, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or other clinically significant heart disease.
12. Women who are pregnant or lactating. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 48 hours prior to initiation of lymphocyte clearance chemotherapy.
13. Previous treatment with CAR-T cells or other gene-modified T cells.
14. Previous anti-CD19/anti-CD3 therapy, or any other anti-CD19 therapy.
15. Relevant medications or treatments within a specified time frame.
16. The presence of any factors affecting the subject's compliance with the protocol, including uncontrollable medical, psychological, family, sociological, or geographic conditions, as determined by the investigator; or unwillingness or inability to comply with the procedures required in the study protocol.
17. Known life-threatening allergic reactions, hypersensitivity reactions, or intolerance to JWCAR029 cell formulation or its excipients.
