Study of CD19-directed Allogeneic Memory T-cell Therapy for Relapsed/Refractory CD19+ Leukemia
A Phase I Study Evaluating Allogeneic Memory T Cells Engineered to Express Chimeric Antigen Receptors Specific for CD19 for the Treatment of Pediatric and Young Adult Patients ≤ 21 Years of Age With Relapsed or Refractory CD19-Positive Leukemia
This is a Phase I clinical study evaluating the safety and maximum tolerated dose of a novel CAR T-cell product: allogeneic memory (CD45RA- negative) T-cells expressing a CD19-specific CAR 41BBz (CD19-CAR.CD45RA- negative T-cells) for the treatment of patients ≤ 21 years old with relapsed and/ or refractory CD19-positive leukemia.
Primary Objective
To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and characterize the safety profile and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of treatment with allogeneic CD19-CAR.CD45RA-negative T-cells in pediatric, adolescent and young adult patients ≤ 21 years of age, with relapsed and/or refractory CD19-positive leukemia.
Secondary Objectives
- To evaluate the anti-leukemic activity of allogeneic CD19-CAR.CD45RA-negative T-cells.
- To determine rates and severity of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) after treatment with allogeneic CD19-CAR.CD45RA-negative T-cells.
Exploratory Objectives
- To study the expansion, persistence and phenotype of allogeneic CD19-CAR.CD45RA-negative T-cells.
- To characterize the cytokine profile in the peripheral blood and CSF after treatment with allogeneic CD19-CAR.CD45RA-negative T-cells.
- To assess whether allogeneic CD19-CAR.CD45RA-negative T-cells acquire functional versus exhaustion-associated epigenetic programs.
- To determine immune reconstitution post treatment, and the clonal structure and endogenous repertoire of allogeneic CD19-CAR.CD45RA-negative T-cells and relate inferred specificity to CAR response profiles.
- To characterize incidence and mechanisms of relapse post-therapy with allogeneic CD19-CAR.CD45RA-negative T-cells.

Conditions
Detailed Description
This is a Phase I dose escalation study using a 3+3 study design. Two groups of patients will be evaluated in this study: group A - patients have received a prior stem cell transplant from their CAR T-cell donor; group B - patients have not received a prior stem cell transplant from their CAR T-cell donor. There will be up to 30 participants per group and a donor/ family member for each patient.

- Refractory disease despite salvage therapy
Relapsed disease (defined as any of the following):
- 2nd or greater relapse
- Any relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT)

---|---|
Experimental: Group A
Participants in group A have received a prior stem cell transplant from their CAR T-cell donor.

Allogeneic CD19-CAR.CD45RA-negative T-cells Intravenous infusion
Cyclophosphamide is a nitrogen mustard derivative.
It acts as an alkylating agent that causes cross-linking of DNA strands by binding with nucleic acids and other intracellular structures, thus interfering with the normal function of DNA.
Other Names:
Fludarabine phosphate is a synthetic purine nucleoside analog.
It acts by inhibiting DNA polymerase, ribonucleotide reductase and DNA primase by competing with the physiologic substrate, deoxyadenosine triphosphate, resulting in inhibition of DNA synthesis.
Other Names:
Mesna is a synthetic sulfhydryl (thiol) compound.
Mesna contains free sulfhydryl groups that interact chemically with urotoxic metabolites of oxaza-phosphorine derivatives such as cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide.
Other Names:
A CliniMACS device is used to select donor T-cells for manufacturing of the memory CAR T-cell product.
Leukapheresis is performed to collect the T cells that are needed to generate the CD19-CAR.CD45RA-negative T-cells product for the clinic study.
