This Clinical Trial is a Single-arm, Non-randomized Pilot Trial to Determine the Safety of Administering Autologous Anti-C19 Cells (ARI-0001) and the Feasibility of Local CAR-T Cell Production in Patients Over 18 Years of Age With Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) CD19+ Hematologic Malignancies, Including R

Plain-language summary
This is a hybrid type two study, with two simultaneous development phases. Phase A involves developing a public-private partnership to create the conditions for implementing CAR-T cell therapies in Colombia. Phase B will be a single-arm, non-randomized pilot clinical trial in patients over 18 years of age with recurrent/refractory (R/R) CD19+ hematopoietic lymphoid neoplasms, including R/R non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), R/R B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), and R/R mantle cell lymphoma; and R/R chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (including CLL with Richter transformation). This trial aims to determine the safety of administering autologous anti-C19 cells (ARI-0001) and the feasibility of local CAR-T cell production.
Phase A of implementation aims to gather information on the domains of the multilevel model, including organizational context, suppliers, infrastructure, and institutional capacities, to identify barriers and facilitators in the implementation of CAR-T cell therapy in Colombia. National consensus will also be developed in the scientific, clinical, administrative, and regulatory spheres.
Phase B will involve a pilot clinical trial in patients with relapsed/refractory CD19-positive hematopoietic lymphoid neoplasms. The production of ARI-0001 cells consists of the genetic modification of autologous T cells through lentiviral transduction of a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting the CD19 surface antigen. The process is carried out in the CliniMACS Prodigy® closed transduction system, which for this study will be located at and operated by staff from the District Institute of Science, Biotechnology, and Innovation in Health (IDCBIS). This pilot clinical trial will use an open-label, single-arm, staggered enrollment design with a safety observation period. The patient will receive the cell product infusion following administration of a lymphodepletion regimen at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The patient will remain hospitalized for 14 days after the CAR-T cell infusion ARI-001 for medical monitoring, with subsequent outpatient follow-up until 12 months post-infusion.
Subsequently, the patient will be offered a new informed consent process to participate in outpatient follow-up for up to 15 years.

Inclusion criteria
. Participants (Men and Women) ≥ 18 and ≥ 80 years of age.
. Participants capable of understanding and voluntarily signing the informed consent forms (prescreening and study forms) prior to any study-related evaluation or procedure, and able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.
. CD19+ hematologic malignancy with a histologically documented diagnosis.
. Inclusion criteria according to the type of CD19+ hematologic malignancy measurable by the 2014 Lugano criteria (NHL) or IWCLL criteria (CLL) or EWALL criteria (ALL).
. B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL relapsed/refractory (R/R)): Second-line or later relapse (including patients with prior blinatumumab use), second-line or later non-candidate for allogeneic transplantation, or relapse post-allogeneic transplantation.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring

1. Clinical Safety Outcome (Pilot Cohort)
Timeframe: This outcome will be assessed 30 days post-infusion.
. For patient inclusion, the disease must have progressed after the last regimen or the patient must not have achieved partial or complete remission with the last regimen, defined by the presence of at least 5% blasts in bone marrow or peripheral blood in an evaluation confirmed by flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry at least 2 weeks prior to recruitment (prescreening visit).
. The consideration of non-candidacy for allogeneic transplantation will be based on functional status, comorbidities, and persistence. Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) or lack of a donor.
. Relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and high-grade lymphoma (R/R): Refractory to first-line treatment or relapsed within the first 12 months after completion of first-line chemoimmunotherapy, including an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, not a candidate for autologous transplantation; or refractory after two or more lines of systemic therapy; in second (or higher) relapse post-autologous transplantation; grade 3b follicular lymphoma or transformed to relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after at least one line of standard treatment.
Exclusion criteria
. Failure to comply with the washout periods.
. Autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation or CAR-T cell therapy within 6 weeks prior to CAR-T cell infusion.
. Subjects with an active infection requiring systemic treatment. This definition excludes participants with Hepatitis B (known positive hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] result), latent Tuberculosis, Hepatitis C, or HIV seropositivity.
. History of autoimmune disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus) requiring immunosuppressive medication within the past 6 months.
. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded from this trial because CAR-T cell therapy may be associated with teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test. Due to the unknown, but potential, risk of adverse events in infants from maternal CAR-T cell therapy, breastfeeding should be discontinued. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this trial.
. Participation in another interventional research study.
. Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to enrollment from which the patient has not fully recovered, as determined by the investigator.
. Active central nervous system (CNS) involvement due to leukemia or lymphoma, including leptomeningeal lymphoma. Patients with a history of CNS or meningeal involvement must be in documented remission, as determined by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) evaluation, for at least 90 days prior to enrollment.
