Official title: Phase I Trial of TmCD19-IL18 CAR T Cells in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory CD19+ Cancers

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a Phase I, open-label dose finding study to assess the safety, tolerability, manufacturing feasibility, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cells in patients with CD19+ cancers. This study will take place in two parts: a Dose-Finding Phase to determine the maximum tolerate dose (MTD), followed by a Dose Expansion Phase. In the Dose-Finding Phase, up to 4 total dose levels will be evaluated using a 3+3 dose escalation design in order to determine the MTD (as defined below). Both safety and manufacturing feasibility will then be used to identify the dose level that can be progressed into the Dose Expansion Phase.

Clinical Trial Description

This study will be initiated with a single disease-specific cohort (Cohort A: Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma). However, the study design allows for additional disease populations to be incorporated into the protocol as new cohorts in the future. Each disease-specific cohort will be evaluated independently for safety and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) as follows Dose escalation will begin with Dose Level 1 as described below. - Dose Level 1 (N = 3 to 6): Subjects will receive a single dose of 7x10⁶ TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cells via IV infusion administration on Day 0, following lymphodepleting chemotherapy. This dose levelwill be evaluated as follows: - If 1 DLT/3 subjects occurs, the study will enroll an additional 3 subjects at this dose level. - If 0 DLT/3 subjects or 1 DLT/6 subjects occur, the study will advance to Dose Level 2 (DL2). - In the event that 2 or more DLTs occur at Dose Level 1, enrollment at this dose level will be stopped and Dose Level -1 (DL-1) will be opened. In DL-1, subjects will receive a de-escalated dose of 3x10⁶ TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cells. - If 0 DLT/3 or 1 DLT/3 subjects occurs at DL-1, the study will enroll an additional 3 subjects at this dose level. - If ≥ 2 DLTs occur at any time, enrollment at this dose level will be stopped. - Dose Level 2 (N = 3 to 6): Subjects will receive a single fixed dose of 2x107 TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cells via IV infusion on Day 0, following lymphodepleting chemotherapy. This dose level will be evaluated as follows: - If 1 DLT/3 subjects occurs, the study will enroll an additional 3 subjects at this dose level. - If 0 DLT/3 subjects or 1 DLT/6 subjects occur, the study will advance to Dose Level 3 (DL3). - If 2 DLTs occur at any time, enrollment at this dose level will be stopped. If less than 6 subjects were treated at the previous dose level (DL1), additional subjects will be enrolled at that dose level to reach a minimum of 6 DLT-evaluable subjects for MTD determination. - Dose Level 3 (N = 3 to 6): Subjects will receive a single fixed dose of 6x107 TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cells via IV infusion Day 0, following lymphodepleting chemotherapy. This dose level will be evaluated as follows: - If 1 DLT/3 subjects occurs, the study will enroll an additional 3 subjects at this dose level. - If 0 DLT/3 subjects occurs, the study will enroll an additional 3 subjects at this dose level. - If 2 DLTs occur at any time, enrollment at this dose level will be stopped. If less than 6 subjects were treated at the previous dose level (DL2), additional subjects will be enrolled at that dose level to reach a minimum of 6 DLT-evaluable subjects for MTD determination. The highest dose at which 0 or 1 DLT occurs in 6 DLT-evaluable subjects will be declared the MTD. The MTD will be established for each disease-specific cohort. Once the MTD of a disease-specific cohort is officially confirmed, the manufacturing feasibility at this dose level will also be formally evaluated. Both safety and manufacturing feasibility will be used to identify the dose level that can be progressed into each Cohort-Specific Dose Expansion Phase. Specifically, the dose level selected must be at/below the MTD and feasible from a manufacturing perspective. Please refer to protocol Section 3.3 for complete information. Retreatment Infusions: The Retreatment Phase will remain closed until sufficient safety and persistence data is available in initial subjects, and DSMB and FDA approval to open Retreatment has been received. Staggering Requirements and DLT Evaluations The DLT observation period is 28 days post-TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cell infusion (Day 0). Formal DLT evaluations will be performed after the 3rd DLT-evaluable subject at each dose level completes this 28-dayDLT monitoring window. These assessments will be performed by the Clinical PI and Sponsor Medical Director in accordance with the definition in Section 8.1.7. This formal evaluation will trigger a decision regarding dose level advancement, expansion, or dose de-escalation. In order to allow for appropriate monitoring/assessment of toxicities, the TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cell infusions will be staggered as follows within each disease-specific cohort: - Dose Level 1 (DL1): The TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cell infusions for the first three subjects treated at DL1 must be staggered by a minimum of 28 days. - Subsequent Dose Levels: - If no DLTs were observed at the preceding dose level: The TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cell infusions for the first two subjects treated at this dose level must be staggered by a minimum of 28 days. The TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cell infusions for the 2nd and 3rd subjects treated at this dose level must be staggered by a minimum of 14 days. - If DLTs were observed at the preceding dose level: The TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cell infusions for the first three subjects treated at a dose level must be staggered by at least 28 days. - In the event 1 DLT is identified at a dose level (e.g., 1 DLT/3 DLT-evaluable subjects), formal DLT evaluations must be completed after each additional TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cell infusion to evaluate potential dose de-escalation rules. As such, subsequent TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cell infusions within that same dose level must be staggered by a minimum of 28 days. - If emergent safety concerns are identified, an ad hoc DLT evaluation may be triggered at the request of the Clinical PI and/or Sponsor Medical Director. Subjects must receive the dose of TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cells as per their dose level assignment in order to be considered DLT-evaluable for dose escalation decisions and MTD determination. Subjects who do not receive the dose of TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cells as per their dose level assignment will not be considered DLT-evaluable for this purpose and will be replaced. However, these subjects will still be followed per protocol, and included in study analyses as described in protocol Section 4.5.3. The highest dose at which 0 or 1 DLT occurs in 6 evaluable subjects will be declared the MTD.The MTD will established for each disease-specific cohort. ;
