Phase I Study of Cellular Immunotherapy Using T Cells Lentivirally Transduced to Express a Cd33-Specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor for Patients With Cd33+ Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia
City of Hope Medical Center
Summary
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and the best dose of anti-CD33 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-Cell therapy in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient or donor'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 or donor's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Examine the anti-tumor activity and safety of administering patient-specific donor-derived (allogeneic) CD33-CAR T cells following lymphodepletion in research participants with CD33+ recurrent/refractory (r/r) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. Assess activity in the form of CAR T cell expansion and persistence, to assess impact on hematopoiesis, 6-month progression free survival (PFS 6mo) rate, duration of response, and 1-year overall survival (OS) rate. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Change from baseline in numbers of CD33+ blood cells, CD33 expressi…
