Description:

The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way is effective at fighting cancer. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are proteins that protect the body from disease caused by bacteria or toxic substances. Antibodies work by binding those bacteria or substances, which stops them from growing and causing bad effects. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including tumor cells or cells that are infected. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers. They both have shown promise, but neither alone has been sufficient to cure most patients. This study combines both T cells and antibodies to try to create a more effective treatment. This investigational treatment is called autologous T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells targeted against the CD19 antigen (ATLCAR.CD19) administration. In previous studies, it has been shown that a new gene can be put into T cells that will increase their ability to recognize and kill cancer cells. A gene is a unit of DNA. Genes make up the chemical structure carrying your genetic information that may determine human characteristics (i.e., eye color, height and sex). The new gene that is put in the T cells makes a piece of an antibody called anti-CD19. This antibody can flow through the blood and can find and stick to leukemia cells because these leukemia cells have a substance on their surface called CD19. Anti-CD19 antibodies have been used to treat people with leukemia but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. For this study, the anti-CD19 antibody has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood a piece of it is now joined to the surface of the T cells. Only the part of the antibody that sticks to the leukemia cells is attached to the T cells instead of the entire antibody. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way it is called a chimeric receptor. These CD19 chimeric (combination) receptor-activated T cells kill some of the tumor, but they do not last very long in the body and so their chances of fighting the cancer are unknown. Preliminary results of giving ATLCAR.CD19 cells to leukemia patients have been encouraging; however, many subjects receiving this treatment have experienced unwanted side effects including neurotoxicity and/or cytokine release syndrome (also referred to as cytokine storm or an infusion reaction). Cytokines are small proteins that aract as e signals to other cells and are the way cells talk to one another. During cytokine release syndromesyndrome, too many cytokines are released and too many cells in your body react to their release. Symptoms resulting from cytokine release syndrome vary from flu-like symptoms to more severe side effects such as cardiac arrest, multi-system organ failure or death. We predict that about 50% of patients on this study will experience mild to severe cytokine release syndrome. To help reduce cytokine release syndrome symptoms in future patients, a safety switch has been added to the ATLCAR.CD19 cells that can cause the cells to become dormant or "go to sleep". The safety switch is called inducible caspase 9 or iC9. The modified ATLCAR.CD19 cells with the safety switch are referred to as iC9-CAR19 cells. The purpose of this study is to determine whether receiving the iC9-CAR19 cells is safe and tolerable (there are not too many unwanted effects). If you experience severe cytokine release syndrome or moderate to severe cytokine release syndrome that does not get better once you are given standard treatments, you may be given a second study drug called rimiducid. Similar studies showed that rimiducid can to turn on the safety switch, iC9 in other therapies. Using rimiducid to activate the safety switch may be done in addition to treating you according to hospital guidelines and making all efforts to immediately attend to your cytokine release syndrome symptoms

Purpose

Detailed Description

      OUTLINE

      Cell Procurement

      Peripheral blood, up to 300 mL total (in up to 3 collections) will be obtained from subjects
      for cell procurement. In subjects with inadequate lymphocyte count in the peripheral blood, a
      leukopheresis may be performed to isolate sufficient T cells. The parameters for apheresis
      will be up to 2 blood volumes.

      Lymphodepleting Regimen

      Subjects will receive a lymphodepleting regimen of fludarabine 25 mg/m2/day administered IV
      over 30 min for three consecutive days and a single IV dose of cyclophosphamide 900 mg/m2
      administered over 1 hour on the fourth day. If iC9-CAR19 T cell infusion is delayed for >4
      weeks, lymphodepletion may be repeated prior to iC9-CAR19 T cell infusion.

      Administration of iC9-CAR19 T Cells

      Post lymphodepletion, subjects who meet eligibility criteria for cellular therapy will
      receive iC9-CAR19 T cells within 2-14 days after completing the pre-conditioning chemotherapy
      regimen. We will administer iC9-CAR19 post lymphodepletion at dose levels specified. A phase
      I trial performed by Lee et al established that 1×106 CAR19+ T cells/kg was safe and
      associated with significant in vivo expansion and we anticipate similar results with
      iC9-CAR19+ T cells.

      Second Cell Infusion Requirements:

      Subjects will be offered a second infusion based on B-cell recovery and MRD status >4 weeks
      after the initial infusion if cells are available or if the subject has sufficient stored
      peripheral blood to manufacture additional iC9-CAR19 T cells.

      Duration of Therapy

      Therapy in LCCC1541-ATL involves 1 infusion of iC9-CAR19 cells. Treatment with one infusion
      will be administered unless:

        -  Subject decides to withdraw from study treatment, or

        -  General or specific changes in the subject's condition render the subject unacceptable
           for further treatment in the judgment of the investigator.

      A second infusion with prior lymphodepletion will be given to subjects enrolled in the
      expansion cohort and to subjects enrolled in the dose escalation cohort once the RP2D is
      reached if they meet the eligibility requirements for lymphodepletion and infusion.
      Specifically, only subjects with the following characteristics will be offered a second
      infusion:

        -  B-cell recovery (defined as absolute CD19+ cell count >50/μL in the blood or bone marrow
           within 6 months of initial infusion AND/OR

        -  MRD positive (defined as ≥0.01% as assessed by multi-parameter flow cytometry) with
           CD19+ expression at any time after the initial infusion.

        -  *Note that subjects who receive dose level 1 in the dose escalation will receive the
           RP2D for their second infusion, if applicable.

      Duration of Follow-up

      Subjects will be followed for up to 15 years after the final iC9-CAR19 T-cell infusion for
      RCR evaluation or until death, whichever occurs first. Subjects removed from study for
      unacceptable adverse events will be followed until resolution or stabilization of the adverse
      event.

      Subjects who receive new therapy (such as hematopoietic stem cell transplant) after a cell
      product administration will still be required to complete abbreviated follow up procedures.

iC9-CAR19 cells	Experimental	The 3+3 design in adult subjects and an independent study using 3+3 design in pediatric subjects. The starting dose of 5 x 10^5 transduced cells/kg will enroll 3 adult subjects in the initial cohort. If there are no dose limiting toxicities w/in 4 weeks of the cell infusion in these 3 subjects, then the next cohort will evaluate 1 x10^6 transduced cells/kg in adults. If there is toxicity in 1/3 patients in the initial cohort, the cohort will be expanded to enroll up to 6 adult patients. If the dose level 1 is determined to be above the tolerated cell dose, de-escalation would occur to dose level -1 where subjects would receive 1 x 10^5 transduced cells/kg. All subjects will receive a lymphodepleting regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide before administration of iC9-CAR19 T cells.	iC9-CAR19 cells Rimiducid Cyclophosphamide Fludarabine
Expansion Cohort Second Administration of iC9-CAR19 cells	Experimental	After the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of iC9-CAR19 T cells has been determined in adults, up to 18 additional adult subjects will be enrolled in an expansion cohort at the RP2D. In the expansion cohort, subjects will be offered a second infusion of iC9-CAR19 T cells based on B-cell recovery and minimal residual disease (MRD) status. All subjects will receive a lymphodepleting regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide before second administration of iC9-CAR19 T cells.	iC9-CAR19 cells Rimiducid Cyclophosphamide Fludarabine

Eligible Gender:	All
Healthy Volunteers:	No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:	Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability of iC9-CAR19 T cells
Time Frame:	4 weeks
Safety Issue:
Description:	Toxicity will be classified and graded according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (AEs) (CTCAE, version 5.0), a descriptive terminology which can be utilized for AE reporting. A grading (severity) scale is provided for each AE term/symptom: Grade 1 (Mild; asymptomatic); Grade 2 (Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated); Grade 3 (Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization indicated; disabling); Grade 4 (Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated); Grade 5 (Death related to AE). Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) symptoms will be graded according to the criteria outlined in the protocol on a scale from 1 (mild) to 4 (critical). Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) will be graded according to criteria outlined in the protocol on a scale from 1 (mild) to grade 5 (death).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:	Incidence of dose limiting toxicity to identify recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D)
Time Frame:	4 weeks
Safety Issue:
Description:	The recommended phase 2 dose of iC9-CAR19 cells in adult and pediatric subjects will be determined maximum dose at which no more than one out of six patients experiences a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). A DLT is defined according to protocol criteria using the NCI CTCAE, ICANS, and CRS criteria. In general, a DLT is any grade 3 or higher event that is at least possibly related to iC9-CAR19 T cells.

Measure:	Changes in persistence of iC9-CAR19 T cells in vivo
Time Frame:	15 years
Safety Issue:
Description:	Persistence of iC9-CAR19 T cells in vivo will be determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and flow cytometry in samples of peripheral blood.

Measure:	Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame:	15 years
Safety Issue:
Description:	ORR (Complete Response/Complete Response with incomplete recovery of counts) to first iC9-CAR19 T cell therapy will be determined using National Comprehensive Cancer Network Response Criteria (NCCN) for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Assessment of minimal residual disease will be included as criterion of response (ie, the percentage of subjects who achieve CRm [defined as minimal residual disease negative complete response] by either flow cytometry or PCR analysis will be determined)

Measure:	Overall survival after infusion of iC9-CAR19 T cells
Time Frame:	15 years
Safety Issue:
Description:	Overall survival will be measured from the date of administration of first iC9-CAR19 T cells to the date of death.

Measure:	Event-free survival rate
Time Frame:	15 years
Safety Issue:
Description:	Event free survival rate applies to all subjects and will be measured from the date of administration of first iC9-CAR19 T cells to the date of signs and symptoms of treatment failure or relapse from complete response or complete response with incomplete recovery of counts, or death from any cause; subjects not known to have any of these events are censored on the date they were last examined.

Measure:	Relapse-free survival rate
Time Frame:	15 years
Safety Issue:
Description:	Relapse-free survival rate will apply only to subjects achieving complete response or complete response with incomplete recovery of counts and measured from the date of achievement of a remission until the date of relapse or death from any cause; subjects not known to have relapsed or died at last follow-up are censored on the date they were last examined.

Measure:	Incidence of patient reported symptoms in adult patients using selected symptoms from the NCI PRO-CTCAE
Time Frame:	15 years
Safety Issue:
Description:	The NCI Patient Reported Outcomes-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) is a patient-reported outcome measurement system developed to characterize the frequency, severity and interference of 78 symptomatic treatment toxicities.

Measure:	Changes in patient reported physical functions in adult patients
Time Frame:	15 years
Safety Issue:
Description:	Patient reported physical functions in adult patients will be assessed per the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function Score derived from the PROMIS Physical Function Short Form 20a v1.0. PROMIS is a set of person-centered measures, developed by the US Department of Health and Human Services, that evaluates and monitors physical, mental, and social health on a five point Likert scale with higher score indicating better functioning.

Measure:	Changes in patient reported health-related quality of life in adult patients
Time Frame:	15 years
Safety Issue:
Description:	Patient reported health-related quality of life will be assessed using the PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) Global Health Score derived from the PROMIS Global Health Short Form v1.0-1.1. PROMIS is a set of person-centered measures, developed by the US Department of Health and Human Services, that evaluates and monitors physical, mental, and social health health on a five point Likert scale with higher score indicating better functioning.

Measure:	Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability of a second infusion of iC9-CAR19 T cells
Time Frame:	4 weeks
Safety Issue:
Description:	Toxicity will be classified and graded according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (AEs) (CTCAE, version 5.0), a descriptive terminology which can be utilized for AE reporting. A grading (severity) scale is provided for each AE term/symptom: Grade 1 (Mild; asymptomatic); Grade 2 (Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated); Grade 3 (Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization indicated; disabling); Grade 4 (Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated); Grade 5 (Death related to AE). Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) symptoms will be graded according to the criteria outlined in the protocol on a scale from 1 (mild) to 4 (critical). Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) will be graded according to criteria outlined in the protocol on a scale from 1 (mild) to grade 5 (death).

Measure:	Rate of measurable residual disease (MRD) clearance in subjects who receive iC9-CAR19 T cells for MRD persistence or MRD-only relapse
Time Frame:	8 weeks
Safety Issue:
Description:	Rate of MRD clearance will be defined as the proportion of subjects who enter MRD-negative complete response (CRm) who are treated with one or two infusions of iC9 CAR19 T cells at the time of being in complete response (CR) or Complete Response with incomplete recovery of counts (CRi), but not CRm.
