About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial of Consolidation Therapy With Autologous T Cells Genetically Targeted to the B Cell Specific Antigen CD19 in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Following Upfront Chemotherapy With Pentostatin, Cyclophosphamide and Rituximab

The purpose of this Phase I study is to test the safety and effect of specially prepared cells collected from the patients called "modified T cells." We want to find a safe dose of modified T cells for patients who have disease remaining after initial chemotherapy. We also want to find out what effects these T cells have on you and your leukemia.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • cyclophosphamideDrug

    Patients will first receive a single infusion of therapy conditioning with cyclophosphamide.

  • modified T cellsBiological

    followed by consolidative therapy with the modified T cells in 3 planned cohorts.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. toxicity

    Criteria for toxicity: Toxicity will be graded on a scale of 1 to 5 as described by the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 3.0

    Measured: 2 years

  2. maximum tolerated dose (MTD)

    If none of the initial 3 patients in a cohort experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) then the next dose level will be studied in another cohort of 3 patients

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. disease response

    The major criteria for determination of response to therapy in patients with CLL include physical examination and examination of the peripheral blood and bone marrow. Radiographic studies are not required but those that were abnormal pre-treatment will be repeated to document the degree of maximal response.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. change in cellular and cytokine tumor microenvironment

    Cellular tumor microenvironment analysis: The presence of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), as well as the presence of immune effector cells including dendritic cells, NK cells, and effector T cells will be assessed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS).

    Measured: 2 years

  3. the impact of infused modified T cells

    Persistence of gene-modified T cells is defined by the presence of any percentage of detectable cells. The percentage of gene-modified T cells/ total T cells will be recorded for all patients treated at each dose level. In addition, gene-modified T cells will be measured daily for two days, weekly for eight weeks and monthly for six months (by FACS and RT-PCR).

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing cyclophosphamide and modified T cells in people with Leukemia, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

toxicity (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jan 2019.
