HA-1 T TCR T Cell Immunotherapy for the Treatment of Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Leukemia After Donor Stem Cell Transplant

What this study is about

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of CD4+ and CD8+ HA-1 T cell receptor (TCR) (HA-1 T TCR) T cells in treating patients with acute leukemia that persists, has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) following donor stem cell transplant.

View original scientific description

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of CD4+ and CD8+ HA-1 T cell receptor (TCR) (HA-1 T TCR) T cells in treating patients with acute leukemia that persists, has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) following donor stem cell transplant. T cell receptor is a special protein on T cells that helps them recognize proteins on other cells including leukemia. HA-1 is a protein that is present on the surface of some peoples' blood cells, including leukemia. HA-1 T cell immunotherapy enables genes to be added to the donor cells to make them recognize HA-1 markers on leukemia cells.

Primary outcome measures

Feasibility of manufacturing minor H antigen (HA-1) T cell receptor (TCR) CD8+ and CD4+ T cells

Time frame: At time of T cell infusion (at day 0)

Proportion of subjects for whom a HA-1 TCR T cell product can be produced.

Feasibility of administering minor H antigen (HA-1) T cell receptor (TCR) CD8+ and CD4+ T cells

Toxicities will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.

Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Inclusion criteria

  • Subject age 0-80 years at the time of enrollment.
  • Subject must express HLA-A\*0201
  • Subject must have the HA-1(H) genotype (RS\_1801284: A/G, A/A)
  • Subject must have an adult donor for HCT who is adequately HLA matched by institutional standards (includes HLA-matched related or unrelated donors, and HLA-mismatched family donors, including haploidentical donors) and is either:
  • HLA-A\*0201 positive and HA-1(H) negative (RS\_1801284: G/G) or
  • HLA-A\*0201 negative
  • Subjects who are currently undergoing or who previously underwent allogeneic HCT for
  • Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) of any subtype
  • Acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) of any subtype
  • Mixed phenotype/undifferentiated/any other type of acute leukemia, including blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm
  • Chronic myeloid leukemia with a history of blast crisis and:
  • With relapse or refractory disease (\>= 5% marrow blasts, or circulating blasts) at any time after HCT
  • With persistent rising minimal residual disease (defined as detectable disease by morphology, flow cytometry, molecular or cytogenetic testing but \< 5% marrow blasts by morphology, no circulating blasts on \>= 2 of two consecutive tests), refractory or ineligible for treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors at any time after HCT
  • Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) of any subtype
  • Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML)
  • Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML)
  • Subjects must be able to understand and be willing to give informed consent; decision-impaired adults may consent with their legally authorized representative; parent or legal representative will be asked to consent for subjects younger than 18 years old
  • Subjects must agree to participate in long-term follow-up for up to 15 years if they are enrolled in the study and receive T cell infusion
  • Subjects who have relapsed or have MRD after HCT may receive other agents for treatment of disease and remain eligible for the protocol
  • A specific performance status score is not required for enrolling on the protocol; a delay in infusion of the HA-1 TCR T cells may be required for subjects with low performance status DONOR SELECTION INCLUSION
  • Donor age \>= 18 years
  • Donors must be able to give informed consent

Exclusion criteria

  • Medical or psychological conditions that would make the subject unsuitable candidate for cell therapy at the discretion of the principal investigator (PI)
  • Fertile subjects unwilling to use contraception during and for 12 months after treatment
  • Subjects with a life expectancy of \< 3 months of enrollment from coexisting disease other than leukemia
  • Subjects who have ongoing grade IV acute GVHD or severe chronic GVHD following most recent transplant. Exception: the principal investigator (PI) may make an exception on a case-by-case basis to include such a subject if there is doubt surrounding the GVHD diagnosis and/or sustained significant improvement in GVHD severity
  • The presence of organ toxicities will not necessarily exclude subjects from enrolling on the protocol at the discretion of the PI; however, a delay in the infusion of HA-1 TCR T cells may be required DONOR SELECTION EXCLUSION
  • Donors who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1, HIV-2, human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV)-1, HTLV-2 seropositive or with active hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus infection
  • Unrelated donor residing outside of the United States of America (USA) unless the donor screening, testing and leukapheresis occur at an National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP)-affiliated and qualified donor center and are facilitated by the NMDP

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
