Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- 1. For Cohort I Lymphoma, adults: Subject is ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).
- For Cohort II ALL, pediatrics: Subject is ≥ 12 years of age at the time of signing ICF.
- Patient or legal gurdian understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent document prior to any study related assessments/procedures.
- Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements as well as agrees to continued follow up for up to 15 years as mandated by the regulatory guidelines for gene therapy trials
- CD19 or CD22 expression must be detected on the malignant cells by flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry. Results of previous assessments after the last treatment with CD19 targeted therapies but preceding inclusion of the patient in this trial are acceptable, if available.
- Female Subject of childbearing potential and male subjects with female partner of childbearing potential is willing to use highly effective contraceptive methods during treatment until 12 months after IMP exposure. For the purpose of this document, a woman is considered of childbearing potential (WOCBP), i.e. fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilisation methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm apostmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient. For the purpose of this document, a man is considered fertile after puberty unless permanently sterile by bilateral orchidectomy. Woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must also: - Have a negative pregnancy test as verified by the Investigator, one negative serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) pregnancy test result at screening, prior to LD chemotherapy. This applies even if the subject practices true abstinence from heterosexual contact. - Perform pregnancy testing on a monthly basis for 12 months after IMP administration. A home test is sufficient. - Agree to abstain from breastfeeding during study participation and for at least 12 months after IMP administration. Male fertile subjects must also: Not donate sperm for at least 12 months following last MB-CART2219.1 infusion.
You likely can't join if
- Subject received any of the following within the last 7 days of leukapheresis: - Any investigational agent - Immunsupressive medication - Plasmapheresis - Major surgery (as defined by the investigator) - Radiation therapy other than local therapy for underlying malignancy - Use of any systemic anti-neoplastic drug therapy or immune suppressive medication applied for graft-versus-host-disease or other, including the use of high dose steroids e.g. >0,5 mg/kg BW methylprednisolone other than hydrocortisone replacement and other than intermittent topical, inhaled or intranasal corticosteroids which are allowed.
- Subject has history of primary immunodeficiency.
- Subject is positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), uncontrolled hepatitis B or C or active hepatitis A.
- Subject with ongoing (incl. controlled) infections or infestations where inclusion of the patient into the clinical trials may significantly jeopardize the health and wellbeing of the patient, as determined by the investigator.
- Subject with malignancy other than the underlying malignancy in this protocol, unless this disease has been controlled for ≥ 1 year and the exception of the following noninvasive malignancies: − Basal cell carcinoma of the skin − Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin − Carcinoma in situ of the cervix − Carcinoma in situ of the breast − Incidental histologic finding of prostate cancer (T1a or T1b using the TNM [tumor, nodes, metastasis] clinical staging system) or prostate cancer that is curative.
- Patient is a female who is pregnant, nursing, or breastfeeding, or who intends to become pregnant during participation in the study.
