About this trial

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a immunophenotype-adapted approach using CAR T-cells in patients with high-risk, refractory or relapsed B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients who are unable to tolerate standard chemotherapy due to significant toxicity as well as other comorbidities

Minimum level of pulmonary reserve defined as grade ≤ 1 dyspnoea and oxygen saturation of > 95% on room air

Left ventricular systolic function ≥ 28% confirmed by echocardiogram, or left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 45% confirmed by echocardiogram within 3 months of screening

Karnofsky (age ≥ 16 years) or Lansky (age < 16 years) performance status ≥ 50 at screening

Disqualifiers

Failure to meet any of the inclusion criteria.

Patients who test positive on urine pregnancy testing and are pregnant or are lactating

Concomitant genetic syndromes associated with BM failure states, such as Fanconi anaemia, Kostmann syndrome, Schwachman syndrome, or any other BM failure syndrome with the exception of Down syndrome

Prior malignancy, except carcinoma in situ of the skin or cervix treated with curative intent and no evidence of active disease

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Proportion of participant who are flow cytometry minimal residual disease (MRD) negative at the end of 1 month after CAR T-cell infusion.

MRD levels will be determined by flow cytometry, The target sensitivity of flow MRD is \<0.01% when available.

Time frame
30 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Proportion of participant who are minimal residual disease (MRD) negative with molecular base assay at the end of 1 month after CAR T-cell infusion.

MRD levels will be determined by molecular based MRD. PCR and oncogene fusion transcript (OFT).

Time frame
30 days
2

Proportion of patient who shows CAR T-cell persistence and presence of B-cell aplasia by immunophenotyping using flow cytometry in bone marrow, peripheral blood and CSF samples at multiple study time points following CAR T cell infusion

Flow cytometry will be performed on bone marrow, peripheral blood and CSF samples at multiple study time points following CAR T cell infusion

Time frame
1 month to 5 years
