Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

New treatment option for B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Official title UCD19 CarT in Treatment of Pediatric B-ALL and B-NHL

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04544592

What this study is testing

What is CD19CAR-CD3Zeta-4-1BB-Expressing Autologous T-Lymphocyte Cells?

CD19CAR-CD3Zeta-4-1BB-Expressing Autologous T-Lymphocyte Cells is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for b-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This phase I/II trial will investigate a new CD19 directed CAR-T therapy manufactured locally with the goals to expedite infusion to wider patient inclusion that includes those who were previously excluded, such as pediatric patients with B-cell NHL and patients in primary relapse.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works

A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.

  • Aged 31 days to 30 years (inclusive) at time of consent and enrollment.
  • Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) OR Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) of B-cell origin that:
  • Has confirmed expression of CD19 by flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry (IHC), or both. Cohort One Criteria:
  • Meets any one of the following conditions:
  • Relapsed two or more times
  • Relapsed at any time after allogeneic BMT
  • Refractory to standard therapy as determined by the treating physician
  • Meets criteria for BMT but is ineligible as determined by the treating physician Patient and/or parents declining BMT options and would prefer CAR-T Therapy.
  • Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma includes all of the following:
  • Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)
  • Burkitt Lymphoma
  • Intermediate lymphoma between Burkitt and DLBCL
  • Primary Mediastinal B-cell Lymphoma (PMBL)
  • Follicular lymphoma

  • Transformed lymphoma Cohort Two Criteria:
  • B-ALL in first relapse with any one of the following conditions:
  • High-risk genomic alterations at initial diagnosis such as KMT2A gene rearrangement, t(17;19), hypodiploidy, Ph-like mutations, BCR-ABL1 fusion (Ph+ ALL), iAMP21, and TP53 inactivating mutation/deletion.
  • Isolated CNS relapse such that cranial radiation would be indicated as a component of standard salvage therapy.
  • Down syndrome.
  • Minimal residual disease (MRD) positivity of \> 0.01% by FACS or \> 0 clonal sequences by NGS in bone marrow post re-induction chemotherapy.
  • Age 18 years or older. OR Newly diagnosed with persistent MRD ≥ 0.01% by flow cytometry in bone marrow at end of consolidation.
  • Performance score (Lansky or Karnofsky) of 50% or better;

What rules you out
  • Evidence of rapidly progressive disease without adequate salvage/bridging regimens as determined by the investigator.
  • Active Graft-versus-Host Disease (GvHD).
  • Active, uncontrolled, life-threatening infection that at the determination of the treating physician would preclude safe leukapheresis or tolerance of LD chemotherapy, cell infusion, or cytokine release syndrome.

  • Myocardial dysfunction: Ejection fraction ≤ 40% or shortening fraction ≤ 28%, evidence of physiologically significant pericardial effusion as determined by an echocardiogram (ECHO), and clinically significant...
  • Baseline oxygen saturation of ≤ 90% on room air
  • Transaminases \> 10x upper limit of normal (ULN) or bilirubin \>2x the ULN, unless thought to be related to primary disease
  • Estimated Cr clearance \<60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (if nuclear medicine GFR or other more specific testing exceeds this level than it can supersede the estimated clearance)
  • Post-pubertal females that are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or unwilling to use birth control (includes abstinence) for the study duration.
  • Known HIV infection, or active Hepatitis B or active Hepatitis C infection.
