About this trial

PACMAN is a phase I/II single arm, open-label, multi-center study evaluating the safety of human CD19 CAR-T (huCAR19) produced locally using the Miltenyi Prodigy in children, adolescents and young adults with relapsed/refractory CD19+ hematological malignancies for whom no standard of care treatment is available.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

1-45 years of age.

B-NHL such as Burkitt lymphoma(BL), de novo or transformed diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL), primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma (PMBCL) or indolent lymphoma types with no access to commercially available CAR T-cell therapy or for whom the current production time for commercially available CAR T-cell therapy is not acceptable based on medical need.

B-cell precursor ALL failing commercially available CAR T-cell therapy, or for BCP-ALL indications with no access to commercially available CAR T-cell therapy, or for whom the current production time for commercially available CAR T-cell therapy is not acceptable based on urgent medical need (the latter needs to be confirmed by the sponsor).

For B-NHL at least one measurable lesion according to the Lugano classification.

Disqualifiers

Patients with symptomatic CNS involvement will be excluded. After resolution and control of symptoms, patients can be rescreened.

Active uncontrolled or life-threatening infections.

Infection with HTLV-1, HTLV-2, HIV-1, HIV-2, hepatitis B (HbsAg positive) or hepatitis C (anti-HCV positive). Chronic controlled hepatitis B or C infection with undetectable viral load or controlled HIV infection with viral load <50 IU/ml and CD4+ T-cell count >200/ml may be considered when antiviral prophylaxis or therapy can be administered.

Absolute neutrophil count <0.5x109/L unless caused by underlying disease.

Trial design

Design model

Sequential

Treatments tested in this trial

  • CAR T-cell and Cellular Therapies

    Other intervention

    A single IV infusion of huCAR 19 T-cells on day 0. In phase I 3 dose levels are tested to determine the RP2D.

Treatment groups

18 Participants
are divided into 1 treatment group
Group A: huCAR19 T-cellsExperimental treatment 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D)

The endpoint to measure this primary objective is the incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs).

Time frame
Within 28 days after huCAR19 infusion.

Secondary outcomes

1

To assess preliminary activity at day 28 for the BCP-ALL cohort and the overall response rate for the B-NHL cohort

For BCP-ALL: the MRD-negative CR rate. For B-NHL: the overall response rate (ORR, CR +PR according to Lugano criteria).

Time frame
For BCP-ALL: at day 28. For B-NHL: at day 90.
2

Duration of response, including the duration of B-cell aplasia

Number of days until relapse. Number of days until loss of B-cell aplasia defined by ≥ 5 B-cells/µl.

Time frame
from inclusion through study completion
3

Survival estimates.

Event free survival (EFS); Overall survival (OS); Cumulative Incidence of Relapse (CIR).

Time frame
Measured at 6 and 12 months.
4

The feasibility to produce HuCAR19 in the target population.

Percentage of products fulfilling the release criteria.

Time frame
From day -13 (start of manufacturing) to day 0 (final analysis)

Other outcomes

1

To assess protein levels during treatment including cytokines reported to correlate with specific adverse events of interest of CAR T-therapy, namely CRS and ICANS

Protein expression.

Time frame
during treatment
2

To assess anti-CAR T-immune responses.

Antibody formation and changes in immune cell subsets.

Time frame
From infusion to 12 months after infusion.
3

Extensive characterization of apheresis product, CAR T-product, and persisting CAR T-cells after infusion

Immunophenotype of apheresis product, CAR T-product and persisting CAR T-cells after infusion. CAR T-cell expansion (peak expansion, AUC of first 28 days).

Time frame
From leukapheresis to 12 months after infusion.
4

Measure levels of fludarabine during the lymphodepleting regimen

Measure levels of fludarabine in peripheral blood.

Time frame
On day -5 and day -3 of treatment.
