About this study

Official title: Dose Escalation Study Phase I/II of Umbilical Cord Blood-Derived CAR-Engineered NK Cells in Conjunction With Lymphodepleting Chemotherapy in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory B-Lymphoid Malignancies

If you are reading and signing this form on behalf of a potential participant, please note: Any time the words "you," "your," "I," or "me" appear, it is meant to apply to the potential participant.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving genetically changed immune cells, called CAR-NK cells, after chemotherapy will improve the disease in stem cell transplant patients with relapsed (has returned) and/or refractory (has not responded to treatment) B-cell lymphoma or leukemia. Also, researchers want to find the highest tolerable dose of CAR-NK cells to give to patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma or leukemia. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

This is an investigational study. The making of and infusion of genetically changed NK cells and the drug AP1903 (if you receive it, explained below) are not FDA approved or commercially available for use in this type of disease. They are currently being used for research purposes only. The chemotherapy drugs in this study (fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and mesna) are commercially available and FDA approved.

Up to 36 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Objectives:

Primary objective:

To determine the safety and relative efficacy of Chimeric antigen receptors (CAR).CD19-CD28-zeta-2A-iCasp9-IL15-transduced cord blood natural killer (CB-NK) cells in patients with relapsed/refractory CD19+ B lymphoid malignancies.

Secondary Objectives:

  1. To assess the overall response rate (complete and partial response rates).
  2. To quantify persistence of infused allogeneic donor CAR-transduced CB-derived NK cells in the recipient.
  3. To conduct comprehensive immune reconstitution studies.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Events That Was Grade 3-4 Toxicities

    Toxicity is defined as a grade 3 or 4 within 40 days of NK cell infusion.

    Measured: 40 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Response Rate of Participants Analyzed

    Participants response was defined as partial or complete response by Efftox assessment below.

    • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia: Complete response will be defined as bone marrow with < 5% blasts, the absence of circulating blasts, and no extramedullary sites of disease (as assessed by means of computed tomography or positron-emission tomography), regardless of cell-count recovery.
    • CLL: Response will be defined based on the NCI-WG/IWCLL 2008 criteria, Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

    Lymphomas: Response will be defined based on the Lugano criteria- Recommendations for Initial Evaluation, Staging, and Response Assessment of Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma:

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Number of Participants Achieved an Objective Response

    Number of participants that had Complete and Partial Response.

    Measured: Up to 100 days after NK cell infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide and Mesna in people with B-Lymphoid Malignancies and Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by M.D. Anderson 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 9 inclusion and 6 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 25 Mar 2024. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Mar 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Events That Was Grade 3-4 Toxicities (time frame: 40 days). 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 NCT03056339, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 25 Mar 2024.
