Phase I/II Open-label Study Evaluating The Safety And Efficacy of Concomitant Administration of Anti-CD19 CAR T-cell Therapy and Lenalidomide in Refractory/Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients. (VTB-CLL002)

December 30, 2024 updated by: Mikalai Katsin, Vitebsk Regional Clinical Cancer Centre
This is a Phase I/II interventional, open-label treatment study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of concomitant therapy with anti-CD19 CAR T-cells and Lenalidomide in adult patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who have been pretreated with Ibrutinib for 3 months prior to leukapheresis.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a single-center, open-label study. After meeting the eligibility criteria and enrolling in the trial, patients will take Ibrutinib for 3 months up to Day -1. Leukapheresis for the collection of autologous lymphocytes will take place 2-3 weeks before Day 0. Once the cells have been manufactured, patients will proceed to lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine from Days -5 to -3, followed by the infusion of anti-CD19-4-1BB-CD3z CAR T-cells at two fixed dose levels: DL1 (50 x 10^6 cells) and DL2 (150 x 10^6 cells), concomitantly with Lenalidomide intake. Lenalidomide maintenance at the dose of 25 mg will be administered from Day +30 for 3 months.

The main purposes of the Phase I part are:

  • To preliminarily explore the safety (incidence of CRS, ICANS, HLH, infections, late ICAHT, and cytopenias) and tolerability.
  • To explore the pharmacokinetics of CAR-T cells.

The main purposes of the Phase II part are:

  • Overall response rate, including complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) rates.
  • Duration of response (DOR).
  • Progression-free survival rates.
  • Overall survival rates.
  • MRD negativity rates measured by flow cytometry.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Low dose antiCD19 CAR T-cells plus low dose Lenalidomide

Phase 1: Determine safety of IL-7/IL-15 expanded 50x10^6 antiCD19 CAR-T cells with concomitant low dose Lenalidomide in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL. Patients will be enrolled in 3+3 fashion.

Phase 1b: Six to nine patient expansion cohorts. If six patients are enrolled in Phase 1 then only six additional patients will be added. If three patients are enrolled in Phase 1 then nine additional patients will be treated for a total of 12 patients.
