Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
INCLUSION CRITERIA FOR PROCUREMENT:
Diagnosis of refractory or recurrent B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) with expression of CD19, CD20 and/or CD22
Age between 1 and 25 years. To obtain the necessary safety data, the projected age of the first three patients enrolled on dose level 1 of the study will be 12 years and older.
Life expectancy of ≥ 8 weeks
Weight ≥ 10 kg
Subjects ≥ 18 years of age must have the ability to give informed consent according to applicable regulatory and local institutional requirements. Legal guardian's consent must be obtained for subjects < 18 years of age. Assent will be obtained from pediatric subjects and according to applicable regulatory and local institutional requirements. Adults with cognitive impairment who are unable to consent and those with Down's syndrome are also eligible for this protocol with consent/assent according to applicable regulatory and local institutional requirements.
The subject must discontinue all anti-cancer agents and, in the opinion of the investigator, has recovered from significant acute toxic effects of: a) Chemotherapy and biologic agents: All chemotherapy and biologic therapy not specifically mentioned below must be discontinued ≥ 7 days prior to collection, with the exception of intrathecal chemotherapy and maintenance chemotherapy being discontinued ≥ 72 hours prior to collection (for the subset of subjects who relapse during maintenance); b) Steroid use: All systemic corticosteroid therapy (unless physiologic replacement dosing of ≤ 12mg/m2/day hydrocortisone or equivalent) must be discontinued ≥ 3 days prior to collection; c) Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) use: All TKIs must be discontinued ≥ 3 days prior to collection; d) Hydroxyurea: must be discontinued ≥ 1 day prior to collection; e) Prior CAR-T cell therapy: must be at least 30 days from most recent CAR-T cell infusion prior to collection; f) Immunotherapy directed at leukemia: No antibodies within three (3) half-lives prior to collection (or within 4 weeks) whichever is shorter. This includes Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) formulations; g) Anti T-cell Antibodies, Alemtuzumab: must be discontinued ≥ 8 weeks prior to collection
Subject willing to participate in long-term follow-up for up to 15 years if enrolled in the study
EXCLUSION CRITERIA FOR PROCUREMENT:
Active malignancy other than disease under study
Presence of active severe infection, defined as: a) positive blood culture within 48 hours of collection, OR; b) active viral infections including infection with HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HTLV
Primary immunodeficiency syndrome
Pregnant or breastfeeding
Presence of any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would prohibit the subject from undergoing treatment under this protocol
INCLUSION CRITERIA FOR T-CELL THERAPY
Diagnosis of refractory or recurrent B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) with expression of CD19, CD20 and/or CD22 and meeting any of the following conditions:
B-ALL with no prior history of allo-HCT with one of the following:
Second or subsequent marrow relapse
First marrow relapse if, at the end of re-induction, bone marrow showing ≥ 0.01% blasts by morphology &/or flow cytometry
Primary refractory disease defined by having ≥ 5% blasts in the marrow by morphology and/or minimal residual (MRD) testing after 2 or more separate induction regimens (which may include CD19-targeting therapies)
Subject has an indication for allo-HCT but deemed ineligible (including subjects who have persistent MRD prior to allo-HCT)
CD19(+) or CD19(-) relapse or refractory ALL after infusion of CD19- CAR-T cells or other CD19-targeting immunotherapies. CD20 or CD22 expression is required for CD19(-) B-ALL.
Or
B-ALL recurrent after allo-HCT defined as having ≥ 0.01% marrow disease
Available transduced T-cells with ≥ 15% expression of CD19, CD20 or CD22 CAR by flow cytometry.
Prohibited medications - washout periods (prior to CAR-T cell product infusion): Radiation therapy including TBI and cranial radiation. Local/palliative radiation excluded: ≥ 4 weeks. Cytotoxic chemotherapy: ≥ 2 days. Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors: ≥ 7 days
Total Bilirubin: ≤ 3X upper limit of normal (ULN) for age OR conjugated bilirubin ≤ 2mg/dl, except in subjects with Gilbert's syndrome where a total bilirubin level of up to 5.3 mg/dL will be acceptable
ALT ≤ 5 times upper limit of normal
Adequate renal function defined as serum creatinine that is ≤ maximum based on age/gender (as indicated below) or Creatinine clearance or GFR (as measured or estimated by Cockcroft Gaultor Schwartz) ≥ 50 mL/min/1.73m2
Maximum Serum Creatinine (mg/dL):
Male and Female: Age 1 to < 2 years: 0.6 Male and Female: Age 2 < 6 years: 0.8 Male and Female: Age 6 to < 10 years: 1.0 Male and Female: Age 10 to < 13 years: 1.2 Male: Age 13 to <16 years 1.5 Female: Age 13 to <16 years 1.4 Male: Age equal to or > 16 years 1.7 Female: Age equal to or > 16 years 1.4
Pulse oximetry of ≥ 90% on room air
Left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) ≥ 28% confirmed by echocardiogram or ≥ 45% confirmed by echocardiogram (MUGA or MRI heart may replace echocardiogram).
Lansky score of ≥ 50% (age ≥1 and < 16 years) or Karnofsky score of ≥ 50% (age ≥ 16 years)
Donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) completed > 6 weeks prior to CAR-T cell infusion
Subjects of childbearing/fathering potential must agree to use highly effective contraception (see Appendix IV for acceptable forms of contraception) from the time of initial T cell infusion through 12 months following the last T cell infusion
Subjects > 18 years of age must have the ability to give informed consent according to applicable regulatory and local institutional requirements. Legal guardian's consent must be obtained for subjects < 18 years of age. Assent will be obtained from pediatric subjects and according to applicable regulatory and local institutional requirements. Adults with cognitive impairment who are unable to consent and those with Down's Syndrome are also eligible for this protocol with consent/assent according to applicable regulatory and local institutional requirements.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA FOR T-CELL THERAPY
