About This Soft Tissue Sarcoma Study in Houston

To find a recommended dose of attIL2-T cell therapy that can be given to patients with soft tissue or bone sarcomas and to see if it can help to control the disease.

Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Age .12 years old
Histologically-confirmed locally advanced or metastatic soft tissue or bone sarcoma
Osteosarcoma expansion cohort: histologically confirmed unresectable recurrent/metastatic osteosarcoma
Evaluable disease.
Patients must have received at least 1 prior line of systemic therapy for the treatment of sarcoma, unless no standard therapy exists for a specific sarcoma subtype
Prior Cancer Therapy . At least 3 weeks must have elapsed since the last cytotoxic chemotherapy or immunotherapy prior to leukapheresis/PBMC collection.
For targeted therapies, at least 4 half-lives or 3 weeks must have elapsed prior to leukapheresis (whichever is shorter).
Standard of care anti-cancer therapy will be permitted following leukapheresis but prior to initiation of cyclophosphamide such that: . At least 3 weeks must have elapsed since last cytotoxic chemotherapy or immunotherapy prior to starting treatment with cyclophosphamide. . For targeted therapies, at least 4 half-lives or 3 weeks must have elapsed prior to initiation of treatment with cyclophosphamide (whichever is shorter). . At least 2 weeks must have elapsed since last radiation therapy prior to cyclophosphamide. . Investigational anti-cancer therapy will not be permitted.
ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 (Performance level as measured by Karnofsky for patients . 16 years of age or Lansky for patients \< 16 years of age, see Appendix B)
Participants must be willing to undergo tumor biopsy . Patients in whom biopsy is medically contraindicated or otherwise high risk will not be excluded and may forego research tumor biopsies
Patients must have organ and marrow function as defined below
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) . 1 K/uL, Hemoglobin . 9 g/dL, Platelets.100 K/mm3
Serum creatinine . 2 mg/dL OR creatinine clearance \> 50 mL/min
Aspartic transaminase (AST) . 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), Alanine transaminase (ALT) . 1.5 x ULN, Bilirubin . 1.5 x ULN
Cardiac function . LVEF \>50%
Pulmonary function . Oxygen saturation \>92% on room air
Total lung capacity \>70% of predicted
DLCO \>60% of predicted
Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must agree to use method(s) of contraception: at least one highly effective or two effective accepted methods of contraception to avoid conception throughout the study in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimized. Suggested precautions should be used to minimize the risk or pregnancy for at least 1 month before start of therapy, and while women are on study for up to 3 months after T cell infusion. WOCBP include any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone successful surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral oophorectomy) or is not postmenopausal
Men must be willing and able to use an acceptable method of birth control such as latex condom during the dosing period and for at least 3 months after completion of the study agent administration (T cell infusion) if their sexual partners are WOCBP.
Signed Informed Consent and if applicable, pediatric assent

Exclusion Criteria

Known sensitivity to cyclophosphamide and/or study agents Active or prior documented autoimmune disease (including inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, Wegener syndrome) within the past 2 years. Subjects with childhood atopy or asthma, vitiligo, alopecia, Hashimoto syndrome, Grave's disease, or psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment (within the past 2 years) are not excluded
Untreated central nervous system metastatic disease, leptomeningeal disease, or cord compression. Subjects previously treated central nervous system metastases that are radiographically and neurologically stable for at least 6 weeks and do not require corticosteroids (of any dose) for symptomatic management for at least 14 days prior to first dose of attIL12-T cells are permitted to enroll. 3. Presence of metastatic disease in or near vital or critical structures that in the judgement of the treating physician in communication with PI or their delegate may lead to concern of immediate risk for harm from the inflammatory response. 4\. Any concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or biologic or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment at the time of leukapheresis or attIL12 T cell infusion.
Standard of care anti-cancer therapy will be permitted following leukapheresis and prior to initiation of cyclophosphamide as bridging therapy (per section 12.4.1).
Concurrent use of hormones for non-cancer-related conditions (eg, insulin for diabetes and hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable.
In addition, local treatment (eg, by local surgery, radiotherapy, or ablation) of isolated lesions for palliative intent is acceptable beyond 30 days following attIL12 T cell administration with prior consultation and in agreement with the PI.
Unresolved toxicities from prior anticancer therapy, defined as having not resolved to NCI CTCAE v5 Grade 0 or 1 with the exception of alopecia and laboratory values listed per the inclusion criteria. Subjects with irreversible toxicity that is not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by any of the investigational products may be included (eg, hearing loss) after consultation with the PI.
Investigational therapy for supportive care (e.g. COVID vaccine) will be permitted, as long as it is reviewed and discussed with the PI. 5\. History of primary immunodeficiency, solid organ transplantation, or previous clinical diagnosis of tuberculosis. 6\. Receipt of live, attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to the first dose of investigational products 7. Major surgery (as defined by the investigator) within 4 weeks prior to first dose of treatment or if still recovering from prior surgery. Biopsy as per study protocol is allowed 8. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, active peptic ulcer disease or gastritis, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs from the study agents, or compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent. 9\. Subjects with cognitive impairment, including adults with cognitive impairment such as trisomy 21 or similar conditions are not specifically excluded from participation, such that appropriate written informed consent is obtained from the parent or legal guardian and they are able to complete with the study protocol requirements and treatment. 10\. Active concurrent second malignancy 11. Pregnant or lactating women 12. Any positive test result for hepatitis B or C virus indicating acute or chronic infection 13. Known history of testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
