Purpose
Phase 1 open-label study to estimate the safety, manufacturing feasibility, and efficacy of
intravenously administered, lentivirally transduced T cells expressing anti-CD123 chimeric
antigen receptors expressing tandem TCRζ and 4-1BB (TCRζ /4-1BB) costimulatory domains in
pediatric subjects with relapsed/refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 1 study to determine the safety, manufacturing feasibility, and efficacy of
CART123 cells following lymphodepleting chemotherapy in pediatric subjects with
relapsed/refractory AML.
Subjects will receive CART123 cells via a single IV infusion at a dose of 2x10^6 CART123
cells/kg, following lymphodepleting chemotherapy. The total dose administered to each subject
will be based on the subject's body weight obtained at the time of apheresis. The minimum
acceptable dose for infusion is 1x10^5 CART123 cells/kg.
There will be a 28-day stagger between the first 3 subject infusions, such that the next
subject may not receive treatment (lymphodepleting chemotherapy plus CART123 cells) until the
previous subject has completed their Day 28 safety follow-up visit and a DLT assessment has
been performed. Subsequent infusions will be staggered by a minimum of 14 days.
It is recommended that subjects with marrow aplasia at Day 28+/-5 undergo an allogeneic
hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) as a rescue strategy. If required, this
procedure will be performed as part of routine care, outside of the scope of this research
study; however, subjects will continue to be followed onstudy. All subjects must, therefore,
have a previously identified stem cell donor as part of their eligibility to participate in
this study.
All subjects will be followed monthly for up to 6 months after the CART123 cell infusion (Day
0). Thereafter, subjects will be transitioned into LTFU for up to 15 years post infusion.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Male and female patients ≥ 1 and ≤ 29 years of age at time of consent.
2. AML in second or greater relapse, post-transplant relapse, or chemotherapy-refractory
disease. Specifically:
1. Second or greater relapse defined as flow cytometric confirmation of myeloid
leukemia of at least 0.1% after second documented complete remission; OR
2. Any detectable disease post-allogeneic transplant with flow cytometric
confirmation (MRD) of myeloid leukemia of at least 0.1%; OR
3. Refractory disease, defined as persistent bone marrow involvement with >5% blasts
after two courses of induction chemotherapy for patients at initial presentation
or >5% bone marrow blasts after one course of re-induction chemotherapy for
patients who have relapsed after previously achieving a CR.
3. Subjects must have a suitable stem cell donor available who may donate cells in the
event the subject needs to undergo an allogeneic HCT. Donor may be matched or
mismatched and must be found to be suitable according to the institution's standard
criteria; donors must be fully cleared to proceed as the donor.
4. Adequate organ function defined as:
a. A serum creatinine based on age/gender b. Adequate liver function i. ALT ≤ 5 x ULN
ii. Total bilirubin ≤ 3 x ULN iii. ALT and/or bilirubin results that exceed this range
are acceptable if, in the opinion of the physician-investigator (or as confirmed by
liver biopsy), the abnormalities are directly related to ALL infiltration of the
liver.
c. Must have a minimum level of pulmonary reserve defined as ≤ Grade 1 dyspnea and <
Grade 3 hypoxia; DLCO ≥ 40% (corrected for anemia) if PFTs are clinically appropriate
as determined by the treating investigator d. Left Ventricular Shortening Fraction
(LVSF) ≥ 28% or Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≥ 45% confirmed by ECHO, or adequate
ventricular function documented by a scan or a cardiologist. In cases where
quantitative assessment of LVSF/LVEF is not possible, a statement by the cardiologist
that the ECHO shows qualitatively normal ventricular function will suffice.
5. Adequate performance status defined as Lansky or Karnofsky score ≥ 50
6. Signed informed consent must be obtained.
7. No contraindications for leukapheresis (unless apheresis product previously acquired).
8. Subjects of reproductive potential must agree to use acceptable birth control methods.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Pregnant or lactating (nursing) women.
2. Patients with relapsed AML with t(15:17).
3. Patients must be > 6 months from alloHSCT.
4. HIV infection.
5. Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection.
6. Active acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) requiring systemic therapy
7. Concurrent use of systemic steroids at the time of cell infusion or cell collection or
a condition, in the treating physician's opinion, that is likely to require steroid
therapy during collection or after infusion. Steroids for disease treatment at times
other than cell collection or at the time of infusion are permitted. Use of
physiologic replacement hydrocortisone or inhaled steroids is permitted as well.
8. Any uncontrolled active medical disorder that would preclude participation as
outlined.
9. Uncontrolled active infection
10. Subjects with CNS3 disease that is progressive on therapy or with CNS parenchymal
lesions that may increase the risk of CNS toxicity. Subjects with adequately treated
CNS leukemia are eligible.
11. Known history of allergy or hypersensitivity to study product excipients (human serum
albumin, DMSO, and Dextran 40).
12. Patients with any prior history of myeloproliferative neoplasm.
13. Patients with somatic JAK2 V617F mutation by PCR or next generation sequencing.
