Pilot/Feasibility Study of CMV-Specific CD19-CAR T Cells Plus CMV-MVA Triplex Following Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients With Intermediate or High Grade B-Lineage Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (B-NHL)
City of Hope Medical Center
Summary
This phase I trial studies the safety and side effects of cytomegalovirus (CMV) specific CD19-chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells along with the CMV-modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) triplex vaccine following a stem cell transplant in treating patients with high grade B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. CAR T-cells are a type of treatment in which a patient's T-cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T-cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is added in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Large numbers of the CAR T-cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion. Vaccines such as CMV-MVA triplex are made from gene-modified viruses and may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Giving CMV-specific CD19-CAR T-cells plus the CMV-MVA triplex vaccine following a stem cell transplant may help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Assess the safety and describe the toxicity profile of anti-CD19-CAR CMV-specific T-lymphocytes (CMV-specific CD19-CAR T cells) alone and when given in combination with multi-peptide CMV-modified vaccinia Ankara vaccine (CMV-modified vaccinia Ankara \[MVA\] triplex vaccine) following autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (autoHSCT) to treat participants with intermediate or high grade B-lineage non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) who are in first relapse after achieving complete remission (CR) or did not achieve CR after a first line therapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. De…
