Purpose

This is an open-label, non-randomized study to evaluate the safety of two planned infusions of BPX-501 T cells after partially mismatched, related (haploidentical) HSCT in adults with hematologic malignancies.

Detailed Description

      The objective is to evaluate the safety of two planned infusions of BPX-501 after partially
      mismatched, related HSCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide and to evaluate the safety and
      efficacy of the treatment of dimerizer drug, rimiducid (AP1903), to subjects who received
      BPX-501 and have uncontrolled GvHD. Assuming no toxicity, enrollment will proceed
      sequentially for the initial 9 patients (following the 3+3 design), who will be followed for
      100 days, prior to enrolling the subsequent 31 patients. Toxicity may increase the number of
      initial group of patients). As multiple dose levels may be administered among the first 9 (or
      more) patients, toxicity will be assessed on the cohort with the maximum tolerated dose
      (MTD).

      The Medical Monitoring committee will review the data with the investigators and determine
      whether to proceed and or implement any changes to the protocol

      BPX-501 contains genetically modified donor T cells that have an inducible safety switch
      iCasp9 suicide gene. In the event of acute GvHD, administration of rimiducid dimerizes and
      activates caspase 9; this activates downstream caspases, obligating cellular apoptosis within
      24 hours.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Signed informed consent

          2. Patients with one of the life-threatening hematological malignancies:

               -  Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in CR1 with high-risk features including adverse
                  cytogenetics such as t(9;22), t(1;19), t(4;11), or MLL gene rearrangements;
                  greater than 1 cycle to achiever remission or with persistent MRD; ALL in second
                  or greater remission with or without MRD. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in CR1
                  with high-risk features defined as: Greater than 1 cycle of induction therapy
                  required to achieve remission; Preceding myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or
                  myeloproliferative disease; Presence of FLT3 mutations or internal tandem
                  duplications; FAB M6 or M7 classification; Adverse cytogenetics, -5, del 5q, -7,
                  del7q, abnormalities involving 3q, 9q, 11q, 20q, 21q, 17, +8 [> 3 abnormalities];

               -  AML in second or greater remission, primary induction failure and patients with
                  relapsed disease;

               -  Advanced chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who have progressed to blast phase or
                  accelerated phase and are in need of a transplant and do not have an HLA matched
                  donor;

               -  MDS with IPSS intermediate-2 or higher or therapy-related MDS.Hodgkin lymphoma or
                  Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL): relapsed disease where remission duration is less
                  than 1 year, relapse after previous autologous transplant, or failure to achieve

          5. Lack of suitable conventional donor (i.e. 8/8 related or unrelated donor) or presence
             of rapidly progressive disease not permitting time to identify an unrelated donor

          6. HLA typing will be performed at high resolution (allele level) for the HLA-A, -B, Cw,
             and DRBl loci

               -  A minimum genotypic identical haplotype match of 4/8 is required

               -  The donor and recipient must be identical, as determined by high resolution
                  typing, at least one allele of each of the following genetic loci: HLA-A, HLA-B,
                  HLA-Cw, and HLA- DRB1
