Laboratory-Treated T Cells in Treating Patients With High-Risk Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndrome, or Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Previously Treated With Donor Stem Cell Transplant

NCT01640301

Description:

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of laboratory-treated T cells and to see how well they work in treating patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed), previously treated with donor stem cell transplant. Biological therapies, such as cellular adoptive immunotherapy, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Placing a gene that has been created in the laboratory into a person's T cells may make the body build an immune response to kill cancer cells.

Purpose

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of laboratory-treated T cells and to see how well they work in treating patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed), previously treated with donor stem cell transplant. Biological therapies, such as cellular adoptive immunotherapy, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Placing a gene that has been created in the laboratory into a person's T cells may make the body build an immune response to kill cancer cells.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Determine the safety and potential toxicities associated with treating patients with high
      risk or relapsed AML, MDS, and CML after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT)
      by adoptive transfer of virus-specific cluster of differentiation (CD)8 T cells
      genetically-modified to express a high affinity Wilms tumor 1 (WT1)-specific T cell receptor
      (TCR).

      II. Determine the anti-leukemic activity associated with treating patients with relapsed AML,
      MDS and CML after allogeneic HCT by adoptive transfer of virus-specific CD8 T cells
      genetically-modified to express a high affinity WT1-specific T cell receptor (TCR).

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Determine the in vivo persistence of transferred T cells and ability to migrate to and
      accumulate in bone marrow.

      II. Determine the maintenance of TCR expression and function of transduced T cells.

      OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

      ARM I: Patients with no evidence of leukemia post-HCT receive WT1-sensitized T cells
      intravenously (IV) over 45 minutes (or longer for patients who are 15-30 kg) on days 0 and 14
      and aldesleukin subcutaneously (SC) twice daily (BID) on days 14-28.

      ARM II: Patients with evidence of AML (minimal residual disease or overt relapse) post-HCT
      receive cyclophosphamide IV and fludarabine phosphate IV daily on days -4 to -2. Patients
      also receive WT1-sensitized T cells IV over 45 minutes (or longer for patients who are 15-30
      kg) on days 0 and 21 and aldesleukin SC BID on days 14-28.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up weekly for 4 weeks, at weeks 6
      and 8, at 3, 6, 12 months, and then annually for up to 15 years.

             HCT for:

               -  AML: Prospective enrollment will now be limited to patients with relapsed disease
                  (overt relapse or minimal residual disease) at any time post allogeneic HCT

               -  MDS will no longer be a criterion for eligibility

             procedures required for this protocol

          -  Patients must be >= 15 kg, as patients with lower weight would be incapable of
             providing high volume and frequent blood samples for monitoring and analysis

          -  Patients must be able to give informed consent; parent or legal representative will be
             asked to consent for patients younger than 18 year old

          -  DONOR: Patient and donor (related or unrelated) must be HLA-matched and express
             HLA-A*0201

          -  In patients whose leukemic cells are available for evaluation, the expression of WT1
             in the patient's bone marrow will be determined; if WT1 expression in the patient's
             bone marrow is not highly expressed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the patient
             will be excluded from the study; patients with no evaluable leukemia will be eligible
