Purpose

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether receiving the pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV13) before and after CD19-targeted CAR T cell therapy will optimize cellular and humoral immunity to pneumococcus.

Detailed Description

      This is a phase II, single-institution study to investigate if pneumococcal vaccination
      before and after CD19-targeted CAR T cell therapy elicits cellular and humoral immunity to
      pneumococcus in patients with relapsed or refractory B cell lymphomas. All the participants
      will receive the same treatment. Immunoglobulins (IgG) against pneumococcal serotypes not
      included in the vaccine will be served as an internal control. Treatment includes the same
      dose (0.5ml) of PCV13 one time prior to apheresis followed by two times after CAR T cell
      therapy

TreatmentExperimentalPneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) .5 ml will be administered intramuscularly three times: 7 days (range 4 to 21 days) before apheresis collection and on day +30 (range +21 to +37) and day +90 (range +75 to +115) after CAR T cell infusion.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  In good health as evidenced by medical history or diagnosed with relapsed or
             chemotherapy-refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), primary mediastinal B
             cell lymphoma (PMLBCL), transformed follicular lymphoma (TFL) and high-grade B cell
             lymphoma (HGBCL). Patients must be under consideration for treatment with any
             CD19-targeted CAR T cell therapy, per institutional standards. Patients undergoing
             active vital organ testing with a planned apheresis date for CAR T cell therapy may be
             considered eligible.

          -  Signed informed consent form in accordance with institutional and federal law policies

          -  Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the
             duration of the study

          -  Male or female, age over 18

          -  For females of reproductive potential: use of highly effective contraception for at
             least 1 month prior to screening and agreement to use such a method during study
             participation

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Pregnant or lactating woman, as evaluated by serum testing within 2 weeks of
             administration of the first vaccine. Only women of childbearing potential will undergo
             serum/urine pregnancy testing. A woman will be considered of childbearing potential
             unless she is status-post hysterectomy or tubal ligation or without menstrual periods
             in the preceding 12 months.

          -  Common variable immunodeficiency or other inherited systemic immunodeficiency syndrome

          -  History of severe allergy (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any component of pneumococcal
             conjugate vaccine 7 valent (PCV7), PCV13, or any diphtheria-toxoid containing vaccine.

          -  Inclusion on a separate trial in which patients may be randomized or otherwise started
             on maintenance chemotherapies within the first 3 months of CD19-targeted CAR T cell
             therapy

          -  Patients with significant psychiatric illness likely to affect compliance, as
             determined by the treating physician

          -  Active or uncontrolled infections

          -  Platelet count <10,000 cells/microliter

          -  Lymphocyte count <200 cells/microliter

          -  Intervenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) administration within one month of planned apheresis
             for collection for CD19-targeted CAR T cell manufacture

          -  History of PCV13 administration within one month of planned apheresis for collection
             for CD19-targeted CAR T cell manufacture
