Study of Gene Modified Donor T Cell Infusion in Patients With Recurrent Disease After Allogeneic Transplant

NCT02477878

Description:

A Phase I study of BPX-501 T cell infusion in adults with recurrent or minimal residual disease (MRD) hematologic malignancies post-allogeneic transplant. The treatment consists of increasing doses of BPX-501 T cell infusions to achieve a clinical response. Rimiducid will be investigated for the treatment of aGvHD after BPX-501 T cell infusion to determine a dose that can mitigate GvHD and preserve the graft versus leukemia effect.

Purpose

A Phase I study of BPX-501 T cell infusion in adults with recurrent or minimal residual disease (MRD) hematologic malignancies post-allogeneic transplant. The treatment consists of increasing doses of BPX-501 T cell infusions to achieve a clinical response. Rimiducid will be investigated for the treatment of aGvHD after BPX-501 T cell infusion to determine a dose that can mitigate GvHD and preserve the graft versus leukemia effect.

Detailed Description

      Unmanipulated donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is used after stem cell transplantation to
      treat and prevent relapse, to prevent infections and to establish full donor chimerism. The
      addition of mature T cells which exhibit a broad repertoire of T cell immunity against viral
      and cancer antigens, might provide a clinical benefit. However, an expected side effect of
      the presence of mature T cells is the potential occurrence of acute graft-versus-host disease
      (aGVHD). BPX-501 contains genetically modified donor T cells that have an inducible safety
      switch iCasp9 suicide gene. Evidence has emerged that escalating DLI has achieved higher
      clinical response rate with lower GVHD occurrence. Optimization of DLI dose and schedule as
      well as strategies of donor T-cell manipulation may lead to the consistent ability to
      separate GVHD from GvL (graft-versus-leukemia) activity and improve the safety of DLI
      treatment.

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
BPX-501 and RimiducidExperimentalAll subjects will receive 3 cycles of BPX-501 T cell infusions at escalating dose levels (DL). DL1 on Day 0, DL2 on Days 30 and 60. The first dose of BPX-501 T cells will occur ≥30 days after hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Two doses of Rimiducid ( 0.1 mg/kg and 0.4 mg/kg) will be investigated for the treatment of aGvHD after BPX-501 T cell infusion.
