About this trial

This is a single-center, nonrandomized, open-label dose-escalation study followed by dose-expansion of CD19- CD34t metabolically programmed CAR T-cell therapy in adult patients with relapsed or refractory CD19 B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Disease Related Criteria

CD19+ aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma including any of the following subtypes

Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma, not otherwise specified

DLBCL, germinal-center B-cell type (GCB)

Disqualifiers

Prior/Concurrent Therapy Related Criteria Guidelines regarding when lymphoma directed therapy should be stopped prior to leukapheresis, lymphodepleting chemotherapy, and CAR T-cell infusion are detailed in the protocol. These criteria must be planned to be met for all patients.

Clinical/Laboratory Criteria

Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.

Participants with active CNS lymphoma. Participants can have a history of active CNS lymphoma as outline in protocol

Trial design

Design model

Sequential

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Cyclophosphamide injection

    Drug

    500 mg/m2 IV over 30-60 minutes +/- 10 minutes before Fludarabine Days -5, -4, - 3

  • Fludarabine Injection

    Drug

    30 mg/m2 IV over 30-60 minutes +/- 10 minutes after cyclo- phosphamide infusion Days -5, 4, -3

  • CD19-CD34t metabolically programmed CAR transduced T-cells

    Biological/Vaccine

    Cells are to be infused intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes or less via nonfiltered tubing either by gravity or a peristaltic pump, gently agitating the bag during infusion to prevent cell clumping

1

MTD/MAD/RP2D evaluation

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD), maximum administered dose (MAD) and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of CD19-CD34t metabolically programmed CAR T-cells

Time frame
12 months
2

CRS occurrence evaluation

Rate of grade 3 or higher cytokine release syndrome(CRS)

Time frame
Duration of study, up to 24 months
3

ICANS occurrence evaluation

rate of grade 3 or higher immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS)

Time frame

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall response and complete remission rate

1\. Anti-tumor activity of CD19-CD34t metabolically programmed CAR T-cell therapy in adult patients with relapsed or refractory CD19 B-cell NHL or CLL/SLL based on overall response rate (ORR) and complete remission (CR) rate. The response rate for patients with NHL will be determined by the 2014 Lugano IWG criteria. The response rate for CLL/SLL patients will be determined by the 2018 iwCLL criteria

Time frame
12 months
2

Progression free survival, duration of response, overall survival evaluations

Anti-tumor activity of CD19-CD34t metabolically programmed CAR T-cell therapy in adult patients with relapsed or refractory CD19 B-cell NHL or CLL/SLL based on progression free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR), and overall survival (OS)

Time frame
12 months
3

ORR and CR evaluation at the RP2D

Anti-tumor activity of CD19-CD34t metabolically programmed CAR T-cell therapy in adult patients with relapsed or refractory CD19 B-cell NHL or CLL/SLL treated at the RP2D based on ORR and CR rate. The response rate for patients with NHL will be determined by the 2014 Lugano IWG criteria. The response rate for CLL/SLL patients will be determined by the 2018 iwCLL criteria

Time frame
Duration of study, up to 24 months
4

PFS, DOR and OS evaluation at the RP2D

Anti-tumor activity of CD19-CD34t metabolically programmed CAR T-cell therapy in adult patients with relapsed or refractory CD19 B-cell NHL or CLL/SLL treated at the RP2D based on PFS, DOR and OS.

Time frame
Duration of study, up to 24 months
