B-All Clinical Trial in Bethesda, MD

About This B-All Study in Bethesda

Background: B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is a type of blood cancer. Some people with B-ALL have a gene mutation that makes the disease hard to treat. The mutation causes cancer cells to make too much of a protein called thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor (TSLPR). Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a treatment that takes immune cells (T cells) from a person s body and modifies them to attack specific proteins. Researchers want to test whether TSLPR-CART cells can be given safely to adults with forms of B-cell leukemia, and to learn whether the treatment may help fight these cancers. Objective: To test TSLPR-CART in people with B-ALL. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with B-ALL that did not respond or returned after treatment. They must have TSLPR on their B-ALL. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart function. Samples will be taken from their bone marrow. They will have a lumbar puncture: A needle will be inserted into their back to collect a sample of the fluid around the spinal cord. Participants will undergo leukapheresis: Blood will be taken from their body through a tube. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the T cells. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a different tube. The T cells will be used to create TSLPR-CART. Participants will take chemotherapy over 5 days to prepare their body for the therapy; then they will receive the modified cells through a tube inserted into a vein. Staying in the hospital during part of the treatment is expected and participants will be monitored locally to evaluate for side effects. Approximately 1 month after receiving TSLPR-CART, participants will undergo evaluations to see how the TSLPR-CART impacted their leukemia. Participants will have follow-up visits for 2 years after TSLPR-CART either at NIH or at home....

Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Participants must have a disease that is relapsed or refractory after initial systemic therapy and at least one salvage treatment, and must either be ineligible for, cannot access in a timely manner, or declined alternative curative options (including commercial CAR Tcell constructs\*, and/or have relapsed after allogeneic HSCT). \*Individuals that are CD19 positive will be considered for this study, However, these individuals should be ineligible for, unable to obtain in a timely manner, cannot access, unwilling to undergo, or have failed prior FDA approved CD19 CAR constructs.

Participants must have measurable or evaluable disease at the screening, defined by any evidence of MRD or positron emission tomography (PET)-avid extramedullary disease

Clinical performance status: Karnofsky \>= 50%. Participants who are unable to walk because of paralysis, but who are upright in a wheelchair will be considered ambulatory for the purpose of calculating the performance score.

Participants must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:

Leukocytes \>= 750/mcL\

Platelets \>= 50,000/mcL\

Pulmonary Function: Baseline oxygen saturation \> 92% on room air at rest without oxygen supplementation

Participants with the following central nervous system (CNS) status are eligible:

CNS 1, defined as absence of blasts in CSF on cytospin preparation, regardless of the number of WBCs;

CNS 2, defined as presence of \< 5/mcL WBCs in CSF and cytospin positive for blasts, or \> 5/mcL WBCs but negative by Steinherz/Bleyer algorithm:

CNS 2a: \< 10/mcL red blood cells (RBCs); \< 5/mcL WBCs and cytospin positive for blasts;

CNS 2b: \>=10/mcL RBCs; \< 5/mcL WBCs and cytospin positive for blasts;

CNS 2c: \>=10/mcL RBCs; \>= 5/mcL WBCs and cytospin positive for blasts but negative by Steinherz/Bleyer algorithm.

Contraception:

Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must agree to use a highly effective contraception (hormonal, intrauterine device \[IUD\], surgical sterilization, abstinence) at the study entry and up to 12 months after the last dose of combined chemotherapy. Note: WOCBP is defined as any individual who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone successful surgical sterilization or who is not postmenopausal.

Men able to father a child must agree to use an effective method of contraception (barrier, surgical sterilization, abstinence) at the study entry and for 4 months after the last dose of study drugs. We also will recommend men ask their partners to be on highly effective birth control (hormonal, IUD, surgical sterilization). Men able to father a child must not freeze or donate sperm within the same period.

Nursing participants must be willing to discontinue nursing from study treatment initiation through 1 month after the last dose of the study drug(s).

Participant or LAR must understand and sign a written informed consent.
