Brief Summary

Autologous T cells engineered to express an anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) with a safety switch will be infused back to patients with B cell malignancies, including lymphoma and leukemia. The patients will be monitored after infusion of anti-CD19 CAR-transduced T cells for adverse events, persistence of anti-CD19 CAR-transduced T cells and treatment efficacy. Objectives: To evaluate the safety and the efficacy of anti-CD19 CAR-transduced T cell therapy for patients with B cell malignancies. Eligibility: Patients between 1 and 85 years of age, who have relapsed or refractory CD19-expressing B-cell malignancies (leukemia or lymphoma) that have not responded to standard treatments. Patients with a history of allogeneic stem cell transplant who meet all eligibility criteria are eligible to participate. Patients must have adequate organ functions. Design:

  • Peripheral blood from patients will be collected for isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), which will be transduced with a lentiviral or retroviral vector encoding anti-CD19 CAR containing a CD28 and a CD3 zeta as costimulatory domains as well as a safety switch.
  • Patients will receive a lymphodepleting preconditioning regimen to prepare their immune system to accept modified T cells.
  • Patients will receive an infusion of their own modified T cells. They will remain in the hospital to be monitored for adverse events until they have recovered from the treatment.
  • Patients will have frequent follow-up visits to monitor the persistence of modified T cells and efficacy of the treatment.

Study Arms (1)

Anti-CD19-CAR transduced T cells

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will receive a lymphodepleting preconditioning regimen followed by anti-CD19- CAR-transduced T cells.

Drug: FludarabineDrug: CyclophosphamideBiological: Anti-CD19-CAR transduced T cells

Interventions

On days -5 through -3, Fludarabine 30mg/m2 IV will be infused over 30 minutes.

Anti-CD19-CAR transduced T cells

On days -5 through -3, Cyclophosphamide 300mg/m2 IV will be infused over 60 minutes followed by fludarabine.

Anti-CD19-CAR transduced T cells

Modified cells will be infused IV over 30 minutes (2-4 days after the last dose of fludarabine).

  • Patients must have a measurable or evaluable disease at the time of enrollment, which may include any evidence of disease including minimal residual disease detected by flow cytometry, cytogenetics, or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis;
  • patients are not eligible for autologous or allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (SCT) or relapsed after autologous or allogeneic stem-cell transplantation;
  • Patients with history of allogeneic stem cell transplantation are eligible, providing 6 months had elapsed from SCT, they have no evidence of active graft-versus-host disease and no longer taking immunosuppressive agents during the treatment.

  • Patients of both genders must be willing to practice birth control for four months after receiving a lymphodepleting preconditioning regimen;
  • Female participants of reproductive potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test performed within 48 hours before infusion, because of the potentially dangerous effects on the fetus;
