CD70.CAR for AML and Other CD70+ Leukemias (CASEY)
Chimeric Antigen Receptor Treatment Targeting AML and Other CD70 (SEVENTY) Positive Leukemias
This study is for patients who have a type of blood cancer that expresses the protein CD70, which includes acute myeloid leukemia (AML), T-cell leukemia or B-cell leukemia (and the leukemia has come back or has not gone away after standard of care treatment).
As there are limited or no remaining standard treatments available to treat this cancer, subjects are being asked to volunteer to be in a gene transfer research study using special immune cells to create a specialized immune cell that will recognize a protein called CD70 that is expressed on the outside surface of the leukemia cells in a subject's body.
The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. This research study combines different ways of fighting disease by using T cells and "arming" them to recognize a specific protein on cancer cells. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells including tumor cells. T cells by themselves have been used to treat patients with cancers and have shown promise, but have not been strong enough to cure most patients.
T lymphocytes can kill tumor cells but there normally are not enough of them to kill all the tumor cells. Some researchers have taken T cells from a person's blood, grown more of them in the laboratory and then given them back to the person.
The protein used in this study is called anti-CD70. It has been developed from human CD27 on normal T cells, since it is the natural binding partner that can connect with CD70. This anti-CD70 protein sticks to leukemia cells when it binds to CD70. CD70 binders have been used to treat people with leukemia. For this study, anti-CD70 has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood it is now joined to the T cells. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way it is called a chimeric receptor or "CAR T cell". The doctors then made another change to cause these T cells to kill any cell that has CD70. This causes the "CAR T cells" to kill blood cancer cells which are confirmed to have CD70.
In the laboratory, investigators have found that T cells work better if there are proteins added which stimulate T cells. The anti-CD70 (CD27) protein is unique because it can bind to CD70 on leukemia cells but also stimulates the T cells that express it. Adding the CD27 makes the cells grow better and may help them to last longer in the body, thus giving the cells a better chance of killing the leukemia cells.
These CD70 "CAR" T cells are investigational products not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
The purpose of this study is to find a dose of CAR T cells that is safe, to learn what the side effects are and to see whether this therapy might help people with leukemia.

Prior to enrollment in this study the patient will have given blood to make CD70 CAR T cells in the laboratory. These cells are kept frozen until they are given to the patient. To make the T cells the patients' blood will be stimulated with growth factors to make the T cells grow. To get the CD70 binder to attach to the surface of the T cell, the gene is inserted into the T cell. This is done with a virus called a retrovirus that has been made for this study and will carry the antibody gene into the T cell. This virus also helps find the T cells the patients' blood after being injected. To ensure the T cells grow well in the lab, investigators may add small amounts of medications that are often used to treat patients with cancer or other illnesses. These medications are washed off of the cells prior to injecting them into the body. Because the patient will receive cells with a new gene in them, they will be followed for a total of 15 years to see if there are any long term side effects of gene transfer. If patient cannot visit the clinic, they may be contacted by the research coordinator or physician by phone or in other ways.
Once patient is enrolled to this study they will be assigned a dose of CD70 CAR T cells. Studies suggest that the infused T cells need room to be able to grow and accomplish their functions, as such the patient will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy with 3 daily doses of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, ending at least one day prior to receiving the CD70 CAR T cells. These drugs will decrease the number of the patients own T cells before being infused with the CD70 CAR T cells and also will help decrease the number of other cells that may interfere with the CAR T cells working well.
The patient will be given an injection of cells into the vein through an IV at the assigned dose of CD70 CAR T cells. Before receiving the T cell infusion, patients will be given a dose of Benadryl and Tylenol. Patients may be admitted as an inpatient for at least 72 hours for observation in case any potential side effects occur following infusion. Patients will have to remain locally for at least 4 weeks after the infusion. If patient experiences any side effects they may have to be hospitalized for evaluation and management.
The treatment will be given by the Center for Cell and Gene Therapy at Texas Children 's Hospital or Houston Methodist Hospital.
STANDARD MEDICAL TESTS BEFORE TREATMENT:
- Physical exam and History
- Blood tests to measure blood cells, kidney and liver function
- Measurements of the tumor by scans and/or bone marrow studies
- Testing of the blood for certain viral infections
- An ultrasound of the heart to make sure the heart function is appropriate for the study if patient has not had one recently
STANDARD MEDICAL TESTS DURING TREATMENT AND AFTER:
- Physical exams and History
- Blood tests to measure blood cells, kidney and liver function
- Measurements of the tumor by scans and/or bone marrow studies 4 weeks after the infusion.
To learn more about the way the CD70 CAR T cells are working and how long they last in the body, extra blood will be drawn. The total amount on any day is about 10 teaspoons (50 ml) or no more than 3 ml per 2.2 pounds (3 ml per kilogram) body weight in children. This volume is considered safe but may be decreased if the patient is anemic (decreased number of red blood cells). Blood will be taken before starting the chemotherapy a few days prior to the cell infusion. On the day the patient receives the cells, blood will be taken before the cells are given and several hours afterwards. Other blood will be drawn one week after the infusion, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks 6 and 8 weeks after the infusion, at 3 months, at 6 months, at 9 months, at 1 year, every 6 months for 4 years, then yearly for a total of 15 years.
If the patient has a biopsy of their tumor or bone marrow studies in the future after completing this study, the investigators may ask to have a piece of tumor or bone marrow to look for CD70 CAR T cells.
