Filter by:Background: B-cell leukemias and lymphomas are cancers that are often difficult to treat. The primary objective of this study is to determine the ability to take a patient's own cells (T lymphocytes) and grow them in the laboratory with the CD19/CD22-CAR receptor gene through a process called 'lentiviral transduction (also considered gene therapy) and growing them to large numbers to use as a treatment for hematologic cancers in children and young adults.. Researchers want to see if giving modified CD19/CD22-CAR T cells to people with these cancers can attack cancer cells. In addition, the safety of giving these gene modified cells to humans will be tested at different cell doses. Additional objectives are to determine if this therapy can cause regression of B cell cancers and to measure if the gene modified cells survive in patients blood. Objective: To study the safety and effects of giving CD19/CD22-CAR T cells to children and young adults with B-cell cancer. Eligibility: People ages 3-39 with certain cancers that have not been cured by standard therapy. Their cancer tissue must express the CD19 protein. Design: A sample of participants blood or bone marrow will be sent to NIH and tested for leukemia. Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Urine and blood tests (including for HIV) Heart and eye tests Neurologic assessment and symptom checklist. Scans, bone marrow biopsy, and/or spinal tap Some participants will have lung tests. Participants will repeat these tests throughout the study and follow-up. Participants will have leukapheresis. Blood will be drawn from a plastic tube (IV) or needle in one arm then go through a machine that removes lymphocytes. The remaining blood will be returned to the participant s other arm. Participants will stay in the hospital about 2 weeks. There they will get: Two chemotherapy drugs by IV Their changed cells by IV Standard drugs for side effects Participants will have frequent follow-up visits for 1 year, then 5 visits for the next 4 years. Then they will answer questions and have blood tests every year for 15 years. ...
CD19-directed CAR-T cell therapy has shown promising results for the treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies; however, a subset of patients relapse due to the loss of CD19 in tumor cells. Dual Specificity CD19 and CD20 or CD22 CAR-T cells can recognize and kill the CD19 negative malignant cells through recognition of CD20 or CD22. This is a phase 1/2 study designed to determine the safety of the allogenic gene-edited dual specificity CD19 and CD20 or CD22 CAR-T cells and the feasibility of making enough to treat patients with relapsed or refractory hematological malignancies.
Immunotherapy offers an extremely precise approach with the potential to eliminate cancer cells specifically. The newly designed CD19 targeted ICAR19 T cells can specifically kill CD19+ tumor cells. ICAR19 CART used the second generation of CART designation. In this study, the participants will receive several doses of autologous ICAR19 T cells and the investigators will determine the safety and therapeutic effects of these cells.
Autologous T cells engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) against leukemia antigens such as CD19 on B cells have shown promising results for the treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies. However, a subset of cancer patients especially heavily pretreated cancer patients could be unable to receive this highly active therapy because of failed expansion. Moreover, it is still a challenge to manufacture an effective therapeutic product for infant cancer patients due to their small blood volume. On the other hand, the inherent characters of autologous CAR-T cell therapy including personalized autologous T cell manufacturing and widely "distributed" approach result in the difficulty of industrialization of autologous CAR-T cell therapy. Universal CD19-specific CAR-T cell(UCART019),derived from one or more healthy unrelated donors but could avoid graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) and minimize their immunogenicity, is undoubtedly an alternative option to address above-mentioned issues. We have generated gene-disrupted allogeneic CD19-directed BBζ CAR-T cells (termed UCART019) by combining the lentiviral delivery of CAR and CRISPR RNA electroporation to disrupt endogenous TCR and B2M genes simultaneously and will test whether it can evade host-mediated immunity and deliver antileukemic effects without GVHD. The main goal of the phase 1 portion of this phase 1/2 trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of several doses of UCART019 in patients with relapsed or refractory CD19+ leukemia and lymphoma, so as to establish the recommended dose and/or schedule of UCART019 for phase 2 portion. The recommended Phase 2 dose will be defined as the highest dose level of UCART019 that induced DLT in fewer than 33% of patients (i.e., one dose level below that which induced DLT in at least two of six patients). Phase 2 portion of the trial will not be initiated until the recommended Phase 2 dose is determined. In the phase 2 portion of this trial, we will mainly determine if UCART019 help the body's immune system eliminate malignant B-cells. Safety of UCART019 and impact of this treatment on survival will also be observed.
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting CD19 will be evaluated for safety and efficacy in patients with B cell malignancy including lymphoma or leukemia.
