NCT03331198

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter study to determine the efficacy and safety of JCAR017 in adult subjects with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL. The study will include a Phase 1 part to determine the recommended dose of JCAR017 monotherapy in subjects with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL, followed by a Phase 2 part to further assess the efficacy and safety of JCAR017 monotherapy treatment at the recommended dose. A separate Phase 1 cohort will assess the combination of JCAR017 and concurrent ibrutinib. Another separate Phase 1 cohort will assess the combination of JCAR017 and concurrent venetoclax. In all subjects, the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of JCAR017 will be evaluated.

Study Arms (5)

Phase 1 JCAR017 monotherapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects will be assigned to receive JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel)

Biological: JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel)

Phase 1 JCAR017 + ibrutinib

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects receiving ibrutinib at baseline will be assigned to receive JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel) at the recommended dose from the Phase 1 monotherapy arm + ibrutinib

Biological: JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel) + ibrutinib

Phase 2 JCAR017 monotherapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Biological: JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel)

Phase 1 JCAR017 + venetoclax

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects will receive venetoclax as bridging anticancer therapy until lymphodepletion chemotherapy/ JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel) at the recommended dose from the Phase 1 monotherapy arm. After JCAR017 infusion subjects will receive venetoclax until Day 90.

Biological: JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel) + venetoclax

Phase 2 JCAR017 Double-Exposed Monotherapy Expansion (DEME)

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects will receive JCAR017 monotherapy

Biological: JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel)

Interventions

Participants will undergo leukapheresis to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for the production of JCAR017. During JCAR017 production, participants will receive venetoclax as bridging anticancer therapy on a weekly ramp up dosing schedule until stopping one day prior to lymphodepletion. Treatment will include lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by one dose of JCAR017 administered by intravenous (IV) injection, and the day after infusion venetoclax will be re-initiated.

Phase 1 JCAR017 + venetoclax

Participants will undergo leukapheresis to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for the production of JCAR017. During JCAR017 production, participants may receive bridging anticancer therapy for disease control. Treatment will include lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by one dose of JCAR017 administered by intravenous (IV) injection.

Phase 1 JCAR017 monotherapyPhase 2 JCAR017 Double-Exposed Monotherapy Expansion (DEME)Phase 2 JCAR017 monotherapy

Participants eligible for this cohort should be receiving ibrutinib at the time of screening. For participants who previously discontinued ibrutinib, ibrutinib will be started as soon as possible after eligibility is confirmed. Ibrutinib treatment will continue for up to 90 days after JCAR017 infusion (or longer for participants who are receiving benefit from ibrutinib). Participants will undergo leukapheresis to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for the production of JCAR017. During JCAR017 production, participants may receive bridging chemotherapy for disease control. Upon successful generation of JCAR017 product, participants will receive treatment with JCAR017 therapy. Each cycle will include lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by one dose of JCAR017 administered by intravenous (IV) injection.
