Intervention

Drug:
• Dasatinib
3 pulses of oral dasatinib (100 mg daily) beginning on Day 4 (+up to 2 days) for 3 days (with 4 days off), repeated weekly. The weekly 3-day pulse schedule of dasatinib may continue for up to 3 months in subjects who continue to meet the dasatinib eligibility criteria and who do not meet off treatment/off study criteria

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Feasibility of dasatinib pulses	Feasibility of administering oral dasatinib pulses (3 consecutive doses per week) during the first month following Tecartus infusion. Feasibility will be defined as the ability of 8 out of 20 subjects to miss no more than one cycle (defined as one week of at least three consecutive days of dasatinib) within the first month following Tecartus infusion.	1 month
Secondary	Safety of oral dasatinib pulses	Defined by a description of adverse events and serious adverse events at least possibly related to dasatinib following CAR T cell therapy; it will include an analysis of the sequential toxicity boundaries in that the analysis does not lead to a pause in the study; further defined as no reports of suspected death on study.	2 years
Secondary	Overall response rate	The definitions for response are primarily based on the standardized response criteria defined by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines (NCCN, 2021 v.2).	3 months
Secondary	Complete Response (CR)	The definitions for response are primarily based on the standardized response criteria defined by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines (NCCN, 2021 v.2).	3 months
Secondary	MRD-negative Complete Response (CR)	The definitions for response are primarily based on the standardized response criteria defined by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines (NCCN, 2021 v.2).	3 months
Secondary	Duration of CR in responders		2 years
Secondary	Progression Free Survival (PFS) following Tecartus plus dasatinib	PFS is defined as the time from the start of the investigational therapy to the date of radiographic progression	2 years
Secondary	Overall Survival (OS) following Tecartus plus dasatinib	OS is defined as the time from the date of initial disease diagnosis to the date of death from any cause	2 years
