Clinical Trial Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of genetically modified T-cell therapy in treating patients with receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 positive (ROR1+) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced). Genetically modified therapies, such as ROR1 specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells, are taken from a patient's blood, modified in the laboratory so they specifically may kill cancer cells with a protein called ROR1 on their surfaces, and safely given back to the patient after conventional therapy. The "genetically modified" T-cells have genes added in the laboratory to make them recognize ROR1.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the safety of adoptive T cell therapy using ex vivo expanded autologous cluster of differentiation (CD)8+ and CD4+ ROR1 CAR-T cells for patients with advanced ROR1+ hematologic (Cohort A) and epithelial (Cohort B) malignancies. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine duration of in vivo persistence of adoptively transferred T cells, and the phenotype of persisting T cells. II. To determine trafficking of adoptively transferred T cells traffic to the bone marrow or other tumor site and function in vivo. III. To determine preliminary antitumor activity of the adoptive transfer of ROR1 CAR-T cells in patients with measurable tumor burden prior to T cell transfer. OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of ROR1 CAR-specific autologous T-lymphocytes. Patients receive chemotherapy comprising fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide as determined by the referring physician in consultation with the protocol principal investigator (PI). Beginning within 36-96 hours after completion of lymphodepleting chemotherapy, patients receive ROR1 CAR-specific autologous T-lymphocytes intravenously (IV) over 20-30 minutes. Patients may receive a second infusion of ROR1 CAR-specific autologous T-lymphocytes with or without additional cytoreductive therapy at the same (for those that received the highest cell dose) or up to the next highest dose level and there is persistent disease, there were no toxicities attributed to the first infusion, and the patient is at least 21 days from the first T cell infusion. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for at least 15 years.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Number of Participants That Experienced Adverse Events Will be graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Outcome will be reported as a count of participants that experienced adverse events in each arm. Within 35 days of receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 positive chimeric antigen receptor-T cell infusion
Secondary Number of Participants With Persistence of Adoptively Transferred Receptor Tyrosine Kinase-like Orphan Receptor 1 Positive Chimeric Antigen Receptor-T Cells Data should be collected for persistence of transferred T cells and descriptive statistics will be used to summarize the changes from baseline where possible. This outcome is reported as a count of participants who experienced persistence at Day 28. Up to 28 days after the T cell infusion
Secondary Number of Participants Biopsied With Detectable CD3 T-cells Samples of bone marrow, blood and other tissues (e.g. cerebral spinal fluid, tumor, thoracentesis fluid) will be collected from patients as clinically indicated. CD3 T-cells and their frequency/persistence will be detected by flow cytometry, polymerase chain reaction, and immunohistochemistry as appropriate. This outcome is reported as a count of participants who had detectable CD3 T-cells in their biopsy sample. The patients in Cohort A had a biopsy of their bone marrow. For the patients in Cohort B, biopsy location was dependent on site of disease per patient. Up to 48 days post infusion
Secondary Objective Response Rate of Complete Remission and Partial Remission Outcome will be reported as a count of participants in each arm that experienced complete remission and/or partial remission. For Patients with Acute lymphoblast leukemia (ALL), remission status will be determined by restaging of bone marrow and other involved sites by morphology, flow cytometry and molecular studies, as appropriate. For Patients with NSCLC and TNBC, tumor response and progression will be evaluated in this study using the international criteria proposed by RECIST Criteria. Target lesion responses will be described as (1) Complete response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions; (2) Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; and, (4) Stable Disease: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient growth to qualify for PD. Up to 1 year
Secondary Progression Free Survival Outcome will be reported as a count of participants in each arm that survived up to 1 year post-infusion (per patient) and did not progress. For patients with Acute lymphoblast leukemia (ALL), remission status will be determined by restaging of bone marrow and other involved sites by morphology, flow cytometry and molecular studies, as appropriate. For Patients with NSCLC and TNBC, tumor response and progression will be evaluated in this study using the international criteria proposed by RECIST Criteria. Target lesion responses will be described as (1) Complete response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions; (2) Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; and, (4) Stable Disease: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient growth to qualify for PD. Up to 1 year
Secondary Overall Survival Data should be collected for efficacy of transferred T cells and descriptive statistics will be used to summarize the changes from baseline where possible. Outcome will be reported as a count of participants that survived up until the 1 year post-infusion (per patient) timepoint. Up to 1 year
