Study summary

Patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia or lymphoma are often refractory to further chemotherapy. In this study, the investigators will attempt to use T cells obtained directly from the patient, which can be genetically engineered to express a fully human chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). The CAR used in this study can recognize CD19, a protein expressed on the surface of leukemia and lymphoma cells. The fully human CAR used in this study may help protect against rejection of the CAR T cells, which in turn could lead to lasting protection against return of the leukemia or lymphoma. The phase 1 part of this study will determine the safety of these CAR T cells, and the phase 2 part of the study will determine how effective this CAR T cell therapy is. Both patients who have never had prior CAR T cell therapy and those who have had prior CAR T cell therapy may be eligible to participate in this study.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male and female subjects age ≥ 1 and ≤ 30 years

  • Subjects of childbearing or child-fathering potential must agree to use highly effective contraception from consent through 12 months following infusion of investigational product on trial
  • Subject and/or legally authorized representative has signed the informed consent form for this study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Presence of active malignancy other than disease under study
  • History of symptomatic CNS pathology or ongoing symptomatic CNS pathology
  • CNS involvement of leukemia or lymphoma that is symptomatic and in the opinion of the investigator, cannot be controlled during the interval between enrollment and CAR T cell infusion
  • Presence of active GVHD, or receiving immunosuppressive therapy for treatment or prevention of GVHD within 4 weeks prior to enrollment
  • Presence of active severe infection
  • Presence of primary immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Subject has received prior virotherapy
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Subject and/or legally authorized representative unwilling to provide consent/assent for participation in the 15-year follow up period, required if CAR T cell therapy is administered
  • Presence of any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would prohibit the patient from undergoing treatment under this protocol

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The adverse events associated with CAR T cell product infusions will be assessed

    The type, frequency, severity, and duration of adverse events will be summarized

    Time frame: 30 days

  2. The leukemia response to SCRI-huCAR19 in subjects with relapsed or refractory CD19+ leukemia will be assessed

    Response will be defined by standard bone marrow assessment and standard response criteria

    Time frame: 63 days
