Interventions

  • CD19-CAR(Mem) T-cells — BIOLOGICAL
    Allogeneic CD19-CAR.CD45RA-negative T-cells Intravenous infusion
  • Cyclophosphamide — DRUG
    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.
  • Fludarabine — DRUG
    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.
  • Mesna — DRUG
    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.
  • CliniMACS — DEVICE
    A CliniMACS device is used to select donor T-cells for manufacturing of the memory CAR T-cell product.
  • Leukapheresis — PROCEDURE
    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.

Study Details

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.
