Study Summary

This trial is testing different doses of specially prepared cells to see if they are safe for patients with cancer that has progressed after standard therapy. If the patients meet all eligibility criteria, they can be enrolled a second time to receive treatment in a higher dose level cohort.

Who is the study for?
Adults with certain blood cancers like CLL, ALL, and others that have not responded to standard treatments can join. They must have a specific marker called CD19 on their cancer cells and meet health criteria such as proper kidney function, liver function, heart performance (LVEF ≥40%), and no severe active infections or autoimmune diseases.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This trial is testing different doses of 'armored' CAR T cells designed to target CD19+ cancer cells in patients whose disease has returned after treatment. The study aims to find the safest dose level for these modified T cells and see how they affect the patient's body and cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune system reactions, changes in blood counts, fatigue, fever, breathing difficulties, organ inflammation or dysfunction due to the engineered T cell activity against cancerous B cells.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: EGFRt/19-28z/4-1BBL CAR T cellsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Following enrollment, patients will undergo leukapheresis of peripheral blood for further T cell enrichment, activation and genetic modification using a retroviral vector encoding a CD19targeted CAR, the co-stimulatory ligand 4-1BBL and the EGFRt safety system (EGFRt/19-28z/4-1BBL). These T cells will be expanded and after the appropriate number of cells is generated, the modified T cells may be infused fresh or frozen for later use according to standard operation procedures. Modified T cell infusions will be administered 2-7 days following completion of the treating investigator's choice of conditioning chemotherapy. Serial sampling of blood and bone marrow will be performed following treatment to assess toxicity, therapeutic effects, and survival of the genetically modified T cells.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is this study still open to participants?

"Unfortunately, this clinical trial is not presently accepting participants at this time. According to the information displayed on clinicaltrials.gov, it was initially posted in March 15th 2017 and last edited October 24th 2022. However, there are many other medical studies actively recruiting patients with 613 being available right now."

Answered by AI

What potential risks do EGFRt/19-28z/4-1BBL CAR T cells pose to patients?

"Despite limited efficacy and safety data, EGFRt/19-28z/4-1BBL CAR T cells were given a score of 1 by Power's team due to this being an early Phase 1 trial."
