About this trial

This is an open-label, four-cohort, phase 2 study to determine the efficacy of CART19 in pediatric and young adult patientswith hypodiploid (Cohort A) or t(17;19) B-ALL (Cohort B), infants with very high risk KMT2A B-ALL (Cohort C), and in patients with central nervous system (CNS) relapse who did not receive cranial radiation (XRT) or bone marrow transplantation (BMT) (Cohort D).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Signed informed consent form must be obtained prior to any study procedure.

Male and female patients with documented CD19+ B-ALL

Documentation of CD19 tumor expression in bone marrow, peripheral blood, CSF, or tumor tissue.

Age 0 to 29 years

Disqualifiers

For subjects with a CNS relapse, prior cranial XRT or BMT for the current relapse is an exclusion.

Active hepatitis B or active hepatitis C.

HIV Infection.

Active acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) requiring systemic therapy.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Event-free survival (EFS)

1 year event-free survival (EFS), where events include no response, relapse, death due to any cause

Time frame
One year

Secondary outcomes

1

EFS Rate 1

Modified EFS rate in CNS relapse patients, using a definition of events that includes no response, relapse, death, need for XRT or need for BMT

Time frame
One year
2

To further evaluate the safety of CART19 in the target patient populations

Frequency and severity of adverse events

Time frame
One year
3

EFS rate 2

Modified EFS rate in patients with early CNS relapsed B-ALL (CR1 \<18 months) and those with late CNS relapsed B-ALL (CR1 \>18 months) using a definition of events that includes no response, relapse, death, need for XRT or need for BMT

Time frame
One year
4

MRD conversion

Rate of MRD conversion to less than 0.01% (in patients with MRD) 28 days after CART19 therapy in patients with t(17;19) B-ALL, hypodiploid B-ALL, and very high risk infant B-ALL

Time frame
One year
