About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Non-Viral, RNA-Redirected Autologous T Cells Engineered to Contain Anti-CD19 Linked to TCR and 4-1BB Signaling Domains in Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Hodgkin Lymphoma

Pilot open-label study to estimate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of intravenously administered, RNA electroporated autologous T cells expressing CD19 chimeric antigen receptors expressing tandem TCRζ and 4-1BB (TCRζ /4-1BB) costimulatory domains (referred to as "RNA CART19") in Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) patients. Subjects will be treated with IV administration of RNA anti-CD19 CAR T cells for a total of six doses over 3 weeks.

Read the detailed description

The study will enroll 10 evaluable patients. Evaluable patients are those who have received at least 1 of the 6 RNA CART19 doses at the protocol-specified level. Important safety data can be collected even if a patient receives only one RNA CART19 dose. Subjects (n = 10) will receive up to six IV doses of 8x105-1.5x106 RNA CART19 cells/kg/dose for subjects<80kg and 1x108 RNA CART19 cells/dose (±20%) for subjects ≥80kg.

The RNA CART19 doses and mid-treatment single dose cyclophosphamide will be administered on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays. Dosing can be initiated on any of those days. Subjects will be infused in a staggered fashion at two week intervals; that is, the next subject cannot be infused prior to two weeks since the last infusion of the previous subject.

    Subjects will be treated with IV administration of RNA anti-CD19 CAR T cells for a total of six doses over 3 weeks. The first dose will be administered 1-4 days after infusion of cyclophosphamide 30mg/kg.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events, defined as NCI CTCAE V4 > Grade 3

    Occurrence of study related adverse events, defined as NCI CTCAE V4 > grade 3 signs/symptoms, laboratory toxicities and clinical events that are possible, likely or definitely related to study treatment at any time from the first cyclophosphamide infusion until Month 4.

    Measured: Month 4 post-CART19 Infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing CD19 RNA redirected autologous T-cells (RNA CART19 cells) in people with Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by University of Pennsylvania 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 18 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2020. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Principal Investigator decision to stop trial). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events, defined as NCI CTCAE V4 > Grade 3 (time frame: Month 4 post-CART19 Infusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02624258, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 May 2020.
