CAR19 Donor Lymphocytes for Relapsed CD19+ Malignancies Following Allogeneic Transplantation

Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)19 Donor Lymphocytes for Relapsed Cluster of Differentiation (CD)19+ Malignancies Following Allogeneic Transplantation (CARD)

Eligible patients will receive escalating doses of 4G7-CARD T-cells paralleling clinical standard of care with unmanipulated donor lymphocytes. There are 3 intra-patient dose levels planned.

Patients will be followed up regularly during the interventional phase of the study until 12 months post-final 4G7-CARD T-cell infusion. Thereafter patients will be followed up annually for years 2 and 3.

Patients will receive escalating doses of 4G7-CARD T-cells (after pre-conditioning with Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide), paralleling clinical standard of care with unmanipulated donor lymphocytes. Intra-patient dose escalation will proceed at intervals of not less than 8 weeks, dependent on development of toxicity or evidence of efficacy and confirmation by the Trial Management Group.

Three dose cohorts levels are planned, and dosing will be according to total CD3+ T- cell dose as this correlates with toxicity in the unmanipualated donor lymphocyte setting:

• Dose Level 1: 1x10^6 CD3+ T-cells/kg (starting dose for all patients)
• Dose Level 2: 3x10^6 CD3+ T-cells/kg
• Dose Level 3: 1x10^7 CD3+ T-cells/kg

The inter-patient dosing for the first 3 patients was at least 28 days, following TMG confirmation.

Patients will be followed up regularly during the interventional phase of the study until 12 months post-final 4G7-CARD T-cell infusion. During the long term follow up phase of the study (years 2-3 post-final 4G7-CARD T-cell infusion) patients will be followed-up annually for overall survival, disease status and safety.

All patients will enter long term follow up until 3 years post-final 4G7-CARD T-cell infusion.
