Description:
The purpose of this phase I study is to test the safety of different dose levels of specially
prepared cells collected from the patient called "modified T cells". The investigators want
to find a safe dose of modified T cells for patients with this type of cancer that has
progressed after standard therapy. The investigators also want to find out what effects these
modified T cells have on the patient and the cancer.
For patients who were treated, had progression of disease and were removed from study,
duplicate enrollment is permitted if it is determined the patients could receive a benefit.
If the patients meet all eligibility criteria, they can be enrolled onto study a second time
as a new accrual, and receive treatment in a higher dose level cohort.

Trial Arms
| Name | Type | Description | Interventions |
|---|
| EGFRt/19-28z/4-1BBL CAR T cells | Experimental | Following enrollment, patients will undergo leukapheresis of peripheral blood for further T cell enrichment, activation and genetic modification using a retroviral vector encoding a CD19targeted CAR, the co-stimulatory ligand 4-1BBL and the EGFRt safety system (EGFRt/19-28z/4-1BBL). These T cells will be expanded and after the appropriate number of cells is generated, the modified T cells may be infused fresh or frozen for later use according to standard operation procedures. Modified T cell infusions will be administered 2-7 days following completion of the treating investigator's choice of conditioning chemotherapy. Serial sampling of blood and bone marrow will be performed following treatment to assess toxicity, therapeutic effects, and survival of the genetically modified T cells. | - EGFRt/19-28z/4-1BBL CAR T cells

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have CD19+ B cell malignancy with relapsed or refractory disease,
defined as below:
Patients with CLL:

ibrutinib, idelalisib)
- Patients must have measurable disease (for WM patients, measureable disease is
demonstrable monoclonal paraprotein and bone marrow involvement)

- Refractory to or relapsed after 1 or more prior chemoimmunotherapies with at least one
containing an anthracycline and CD20 directed therapy
- Transplant ineligible
- Biopsy proven relapsed disease
Patients with ALL, CML in lymphoid blast crisis or Burkitt's lymphoma:
- Refractory to at least 1 prior induction chemotherapy
- Relapsed after at least 1 prior multiagent systemic chemotherapy that included
induction and consolidation
- Patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL must have failed a second
generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor

upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Adequate pulmonary function as assessed by ≥92% oxygen saturation on room air by
pulse oximetry
Exclusion Criteria:
- Karnofsky performance status <70
- Pregnant or lactating women. Women and men of childbearing age should use effective
contraception while on this study and continue for 1 year after all treatment is
finished
- Impaired cardiac function (LVEF <40%) as assessed by ECHO or MUGA scan
- Patients with active known autoimmune disease are ineligible
- Patients with following cardiac conditions will be excluded:
- New York Heart Association (NYHA) stage III or IV congestive heart failure
- Myocardial infarction </= 6 months prior to enrollment
- History of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia or unexplained syncope,
not believed to be vasovagal in nature or due to dehydration <6 months prior to
enrollment
- History of severe non-ischemic cardiomyopathy with EF </=20%
- Patients with HIV or active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection are ineligible
- Patients with uncontrolled systemic fungal, bacterial, viral or other infection are
ineligible
- Patients with any concurrent active malignancies as defined by malignancies requiring
any therapy other than expectant observation or hormonal therapy, with the exception
of squamous and basal cell carcinoma of skin
- Patients with history or presence of clinically significant neurological disorders
such as epilepsy, generalized seizure disorder, severe brain injuries are ineligible
- Any other issue which, in the opinion of the treating physician, would make the
patient ineligible for the study
| Maximum Eligible Age: | N/A |
| Minimum Eligible Age: | 18 Years |
| Eligible Gender: | All |
| Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Primary Outcome Measures
| Measure: | Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) |
| Time Frame: | occurring within 30 days from the last infusion |
| Safety Issue: | |
| Description: | Cohorts of 3-6 patients each will be treated with escalating doses of modified T cell. At least 3 patients will be treated at each dose level with an accrual of no more than 2 patients per month within each dose level. At least two weeks will elapse from the first patient's T cell infusions before the second patient is treated (on dose level 1) to allow for toxicity and safely assessment. All patients treated at the preceding dose level will be observed a minimum of 4 weeks before dose escalation occurs. |
