Description:
If you are reading and signing this form on behalf of a potential participant, please note:
Any time the words "you," "your," "I," or "me" appear, it is meant to apply to the potential
participant.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving genetically changed immune
cells, called CAR-NK cells, after chemotherapy will improve the disease in stem cell
transplant patients with relapsed (has returned) and/or refractory (has not responded to
treatment) B-cell lymphoma or leukemia. Also, researchers want to find the highest tolerable
dose of CAR-NK cells to give to patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma or
leukemia. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
This is an investigational study. The making of and infusion of genetically changed NK cells
and the drug AP1903 (if you receive it, explained below) are not FDA approved or commercially
available for use in this type of disease. They are currently being used for research
purposes only. The chemotherapy drugs in this study (fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and
mesna) are commercially available and FDA approved.
Up to 36 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Detailed Description
Objectives:
Primary objective:
To determine the safety and relative efficacy of Chimeric antigen receptors
(CAR).CD19-CD28-zeta-2A-iCasp9-IL15-transduced cord blood natural killer (CB-NK) cells in
patients with relapsed/refractory CD19+ B lymphoid malignancies.
Secondary Objectives:
1. To assess the overall response rate (complete and partial response rates).
2. To quantify persistence of infused allogeneic donor CAR-transduced CB-derived NK cells
in the recipient.
3. To conduct comprehensive immune reconstitution studies.
Trial Arms
Name | Type | Description | Interventions |
---|
Fludarabine + Cyclophosphamide + CAR-NK Cells | Experimental | On Days -5, -4, and -3, participants receive Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide. Participants also receive Mesna before and after the cyclophosphamide dose.
On Day 0, participants receive genetically modified NK cells as a cell infusion.
If participant has graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) or cytokine release syndrome after the NK cell infusion, they receive AP1903 by vein and possibly steroids by mouth or by vein. | - Fludarabine

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Patients with history of CD 19 positive B-lymphoid malignancies (ALL, CLL, NHL) who
have received at least 2 lines of standard chemoimmunotherapy or targeted therapy and
have persistent disease.
2. Patients with ALL, CLL, NHL with relapsed disease following standard therapy or a stem
cell transplant.
3. Patients at least 3 weeks from last cytotoxic chemotherapy at the time of starting
lymphodepleting chemotherapy. Patients may continue tyrosine kinase inhibitors or
other targeted therapies until at least two weeks prior to administration of
lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
4. Karnofsky/Lansky Performance Scale > 70.
5. Adequate organ function: a. Renal: Creatinine clearance (as estimated by Cockcroft
Gault) >/= 60 cc/min. b. Hepatic: ALT/AST </= 2.5 x ULN or </= 5 x ULN if documented
liver metastases, Total bilirubin </= 1.5 mg/dL, except in subjects with Gilbert's
Syndrome in whom total bilirubin must be </= 3.0 mg/dL. c. Cardiac: Cardiac ejection
fraction >/= 50%, no evidence of pericardial effusion as determined by an ECHO or
MUGA, and no clinically significant ECG findings. d. Pulmonary: No clinically
