NCT01815749

Brief Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of genetically modified T-cells following peripheral blood stem cell transplant in treating patients with recurrent or high-risk non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Giving chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Removing the T cells from the donor cells before transplant may stop this from happening. Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) later may help the patient's immune system see any remaining cancer cells as not belonging in the patient's body and destroy them (called graft-versus-tumor effect)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Adverse events attributed to Tcm adoptive transfer as reported using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0

    Tables will be created to summarize all toxicities and side effects by dose, course, organ, and severity.

    Up to 15 years

  • MTD of CD19-CAR-specific/truncated EGFR lentiviral vector-transduced autologous T cells based on dose limiting toxicities

    Graded according to the NCI CTCAE version 4.0.

    Up to day 28

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Engraftment of the transferred T cell products

    Up to 21 days

  • CD19+ B cell precursors in the peripheral blood as a surrogate for the in vivo effector function of transferred CD19-specific T cells

    Up to 28 days

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (genetically modified T cell infusion)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients undergo mobilization for autologous stem cell collection with cytoreductive chemotherapy and filgrastim and/or plerixafor per current standard operating policies. Patients undergo myeloablative conditioning regimen per institutional standards beginning day -7 followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on day 0. Patients receive CD19-CAR-specific/truncated EGFR lentiviral vector-transduced autologous T cells IV on day 2 or 3 (may be delayed up to day 45 if the patient is not yet eligible). Patients who experience disease progression and have not experienced DLTs at greater than or equal to 100 days post HSCT will be allowed to receive an optional second T cell infusion.

  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to cetuximab
  • Research participants with known brain metastases (central nervous system \[CNS\] involvement or parenchymal or leptomeningeal involvement)
