About this trial

The study participant has one of the following blood cancers: acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)/myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL, T-ALL) or Lymphoma. Your cancer has been difficult to treat (refractory) or has come back after treatment (relapse).

Primary Objective

To determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose of intravenous infusions of escalating doses of CD70-CAR T cells in patients (≤21 years) with recurrent/refractory CD70+ hematological malignancies after lymphodepleting chemotherapy.

Secondary Objectives

To evaluate the antileukemic activity of CD70-CAR T cells. We will determine the anti- leukemic activity of the CD70-CAR T cells in the bone marrow and in the treatment of extramedullary disease.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Refractory disease that is persistent despite 3 cycles of chemotherapy

Patients in 2nd or greater relapse

Patients with relapse after allogeneic HSCT

Disqualifiers

Known primary immunodeficiency

Severe intercurrent bacterial, viral or fungal infection

History of hypersensitivity to cornstarch or hydroxyethyl starch

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Fludarabine

    Drug

    40mg/m2, Day -4, -3 and -2

  • Cyclophosphamide

    Drug

    Day -3 and Day-2 REST DAY, -1

  • CD70-CAR T cell infusion (Autologous)

    Drug

    Day 0 or +1

  • Mesna

    Drug

    Mesna is generally dosed at approximately 25% of the cyclophosphamide dose. It is generally given intravenously prior to and again at 3, 6 and 9 hours following each dose of cyclophosphamide

Maximum tolerated dose of CD70-CAR T cells

Phase I design to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of autologous, CD70-CAR T cells. Three (3) dose levels will be evaluated (1x10e6, 3x10e6, and 1x10e7 cells/kg).

Time frame
28 days after CD70-CAR T-cell infusion
