Study of CD19/CD22 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells in Children & Young Adults w/ Recurrent or Refractory B Cell Malignancies
Bu Faz 1 (Phase 1) çalışma, kemoterapi ile birlikte verilen CD19/CD22 kimerik antijen reseptörü (chimeric antigen receptor, CAR) T hücrelerinin en uygun dozunu ve yan etkilerini, nüks etmiş ya da tedaviye yanıt vermeyen CD19-pozitif B hücreli akut lenfoblastik lösemi (B acute lymphoblastic leukemia, ALL) olan çocuk ve genç erişkinlerde incelemektedir. CAR, T hücrelerinin B-ALL hücrelerinde sık bulunan CD19/CD22 proteinlerini tanımasını sağlayan genetik olarak tasarlanmış bir reseptördür; fludarabin fosfat ve siklofosfamid kanser hücrelerinin büyümesini durdurmak için kullanılmaktadır. Katılım için ALL tanısı ile birlikte, araştırmacı ve birincil onkoloğun değerlendirmesine göre başka küratif tedavi seçeneği bulunmaması ya da hastanın bunları reddetmiş olması ve allojenik kök hücre nakline uygun olmaması, nakli reddetmesi gibi koşullar aranmaktadır.

1.1 INCLUSION CRITERIA
1. Diagnosis: ALL In view of the PI and the primary oncologist, there must be no available alternative curative therapies or subject has declined to pursue alternative therapy; and subjects must be either ineligible for allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT), have refused SCT, recurred after SCT, or have disease activity that prohibits SCT at the time of enrollment.
1. Chemotherapy refractory disease in subjects with B-ALL is defined as progression or stable disease after two lines of therapies
2. Recurrence of disease after achieving a complete response (CR).
3. Subjects with persistent or relapsed minimal residual disease (MRD) (by flow cytometry, PCR, FISH, or next generation sequencing) require verification of MRD positivity on two occasions at least 4 weeks apart.
4. Subjects with Philadelphia Chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ALL) subjects are eligible if they progressed, had stable disease or relapsed after two lines of therapy, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
5. Subjects with recurrence of isolated CNS relapse after achieving complete remission (CR); if relapsed with MRD, will require verification of MRD positivity on two occasions at least 4 weeks apart.
2. Diagnosis: Lymphoma Subjects with lymphoma must have progressed, had SD, or recurred after initial treatment regimens that include an anthracycline and an anti CD20 monoclonal antibody. Subjects who relapse ≥12 months after therapy should have progressed after autologous transplant or been ineligible for autologous transplant.
3. CD19 expression CD19 expression is required at any time since diagnosis. If patient has received anti-CD19 targeted therapy (i.e. Blinatumomab), then CD19 expression must be subsequently demonstrated. CD19 expression. must be detected on greater than 50% of the malignant cells by immunohistochemistry or ≥ 90% by flow cytometry. The choice of whether to use flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry will be determined by what is the most easily available tissue sample in each subject. In general, immunohistochemistry will be used for lymph node biopsies, flow cytometry will be used for peripheral blood and bone marrow samples.
4. Subjects who have undergone autologous SCT with disease progression or relapse following SCT will be eligible if all other eligibility criteria are met. Subjects who have undergone allogeneic SCT will be eligible if, in addition to meeting other eligibility criteria, they are at least 100 days post-transplant, they have no evidence of active GVHD and have been without immunosuppressive agents for at least 30 days.
5. Subjects who have undergone prior anti-CD19 or anti-CD22 CAR therapy will be eligible if \< 5% of circulating levels of CD3+ cells express the previous CAR by flow cytometry.
6. Must have evaluable or measurable disease; subjects with lymphoma must have evaluable or measurable disease according to the revised IWG Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma\[66\] must be present. Lesions that have been previously irradiated will be considered measurable only if progression has been documented following completion of radiation therapy.
7. At least 2 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, must have elapsed since any prior systemic therapy at the time the subject is planned for leukapheresis, except for systemic inhibitory/stimulatory immune checkpoint therapy, which requires 5 half-lives.
Exceptions:
f. There is no time restriction with regard to prior intrathecal chemotherapy (incl. steroids) provided there is complete recovery from any acute toxic effects of such; g. Subjects receiving hydroxyurea may be enrolled provided there has been no increase in dose for at least 2 weeks prior to starting apheresis; h. Subjects who are on standard ALL maintenance type chemotherapy (vincristine, 6-mercaptopurine or oral methotrexate) may be enrolled provided that chemotherapy is discontinued at least 1 week prior to apheresis.
i. Subjects receiving steroid therapy at physiologic replacement doses (≤ 5 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent doses of other corticosteroids) only are allowed provided there has been no increase in dose for at least 2 weeks prior to starting apheresis; j. For radiation therapy: Radiation therapy must have been completed at least 3 weeks prior to enrollment, with the exception that there is no time restriction if the volume of bone marrow treated is less than 10% and also the subject has measurable/evaluable disease outside the radiation port.
8. Toxicities due to prior therapy must be stable and recovered to ≤ Grade 1 (except for clinically non-significant toxicities, such as alopecia, nutritional support measures, electrolyte abnormalities, or those not impacting the investigator's ability to assess treatment emergent toxicities)
9. Age Greater than or equal to 1 year of age and less than or equal to 30 years of age at time of enrollment; must meet parameters for apheresis per institutional guidelines. NOTE: The first subject in the first dose cohort must be ≥ 18 years of age if an adult has not been treated at that dose cohort on the companion Stanford protocol "Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study of CD19/CD22 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cells in Adults with Recurrent or Refractory B Cell Malignancies" and undergone safety evaluation at Day 28 without evidence of DLT.

2. Platelet count ≥50,000/uL\*
3. Absolute lymphocyte count ≥150/uL\*
4. Adequate renal, hepatic, pulmonary and cardiac function defined as:
* Serum ALT/AST ≤10 ULN (unless elevated ALT/AST is attributed to leukemia or lymphoma involvement of the liver, in which case this criterion will be waived and not disqualify a patient).

1.2 EXCLUSION CRITERIA
Subjects meeting any of the following criteria are not eligible for participation in the study:
1. Recurrent or refractory ALL limited to isolated testicular.
2. Subjects with radiologically-detected CNS lymphoma or CNS 3 disease (presence of ≥ 5/µL WBCs in CSF and cytospin positive for blasts \[in the absence of a traumatic lumbar puncture\] and/or clinical signs of CNS leukemia).

5. Presence of fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection that is uncontrolled or requiring IV antimicrobials for management. Simple UTI and uncomplicated bacterial pharyngitis are permitted if responding to active treatment.
Ongoing infection with HIV or hepatitis B (HBsAg positive) or hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV positive) as the immunosuppression contained in this study will pose unacceptable risk. A history of hepatitis B or hepatitis C is permitted if the viral load is undetectable per quantitative PCR and/or nucleic acid testing.
6. CNS disorder such as cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage, dementia, cerebellar disease, or autoimmune disease with CNS involvement that in the judgment of the investigator may impair the ability to evaluate neurotoxicity.
