NCT01318317

Brief Summary

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of genetically engineered lymphocyte therapy and to see how well it works after peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) in treating patients with high-risk, intermediate-grade, B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Genetically engineered lymphocyte therapy may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving rituximab together with chemotherapy before a PBSCT stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as filgrastim (G-CSF), or plerixafor helps stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. More chemotherapy or radiation therapy is given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. Giving genetically engineered lymphocyte therapy after PBSCT may be an effective treatment for NHL.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    Number of DLTs per dose level are reported. A DLT is defined as: Any grade 3 or higher toxicity, with the exception of expected adverse events; and designated as definitely or probably related (level of attribution) to the infusion of the TCM cells; and occurring within 28 days of T-cell infusion; Any toxicity requiring the use of steroids to ablate side effects attributable to the infusion of the TCM cells, and occurring within 28 days of T-cell infusion; Any toxicity which is a lower grade, but that increases in grade to a grade 3 or higher as a direct result of the TCM, and occurring within 28 days of T-cell infusion; Any grade 2 or greater autoimmune toxicity, and occurring within 28 days of T-cell infusion.

    Within 28 days of T-cell infusion

  • Woodchuck Hepatitis Virus Post-transcriptional Regulatory Element (WPRE) Detection Above Background

    Peak expansion of WPRE is expressed in CAR copy number/mL of blood is summarized with median and range

    28 days post T cell infusion

  • Number of Days of Quantifiable CD19 CAR Post T-cell Infusion

    WPRE persistence of quantifiable CD19 CAR summarized with mean and standard deviation

    28 days post T cell infusion

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Failure to Engraft

    Within 21 days post T-cell infusion

  • Progression-free Survival at 1 Year

    Up to 1 year

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (cellular adoptive immunotherapy following PBSCT)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive standard salvage chemotherapy per standard practice and undergo standard mobilization for stem cell collection with G-CSF and/or plerixafor. Some patients may also receive rituximab IV within 4 weeks of transplant. Patients receive standard myeloablative conditioning followed by autologous PBSCT. Patients then undergo infusion of ex vivo expanded autologous TCM-enriched CD8+ T cells expressing CD19-specific CAR on day 2 or 3 after transplant.
