Study Summary

This trial will evaluate the safety of CAR20.19.22 T-cells in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) / chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-80 with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies like CLL or NHL, who have adequate organ function and no active CNS involvement. They must not be pregnant, agree to use double barrier contraception, and cannot participate in other clinical trials. Excluded are those with recent transplants, certain treatments within specific timeframes before the trial starts, uncontrolled autoimmune diseases requiring steroids, active infections (HIV/Hepatitis), or prior CAR T-cell therapy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The safety of different doses of CAR20.19.22 T-cells is being tested on patients with various types of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This phase I study will determine the maximum tolerated dose for further research.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune system reactions leading to inflammation in different organs, infusion-related reactions similar to allergic responses when cells are administered, fatigue from treatment burden on the body's resources, possible blood disorders due to bone marrow impact by the therapy.

Trial Design

10Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Indolent B-cell NHL Dose Level 1: 5x10^6 cells/kg: CAR20.19.22Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The investigators will start at a dose of 2.5x10^6 cells/kg and either escalate or de-escalate based on the presence of toxicities.
Group II: Indolent B-cell NHL Dose Level 0: 2.5x10^6 cells/kg: CAR20.19.22Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The investigators will start at a dose of 2.5x10^6 cells/kg and either escalate or de-escalate based on the presence of toxicities.
Group III: Indolent B-cell NHL Dose Level -2: 0.75x10^6 cells/kg: CAR20.19.22Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The investigators will start at a dose of 2.5x10^6 cells/kg and either escalate or de-escalate based on the presence of toxicities.
Group IV: Indolent B-cell NHL Dose Level -1: 1x10^6 cells/kg: CAR20.19.22Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The investigators will start at a dose of 2.5x10^6 cells/kg and either escalate or de-escalate based on the presence of toxicities.
Group V: Indolent B-cell NHL Dose Expansion: CAR20.19.22Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The maximum tolerated dose intervention will be updated when it is determined. It will be one of four doses: 0.75x10^6 cells/kg, 1x10^6 cells/kg, 2.5x10^6 cells/kg or 5x10^6 cells/kg.
Group VI: Aggressive B-cell NHL Dose Level 2: 5x10^6 cells/kg: CAR20.19.22Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The investigators will start at a dose of 1.0x10^6 cells/kg and either escalate or de-escalate based on the presence of toxicities.
Group VII: Aggressive B-cell NHL Dose Level 1: 2.5x10^6 cells/kg: CAR20.19.22Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The investigators will start at a dose of 1x10^6 cells/kg and either escalate or de-escalate based on the presence of toxicities.
Group VIII: Aggressive B-cell NHL Dose Level 0: 1x10^6 cells/kg: CAR20.19.22Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The investigators will start at a dose of 1x10^6 cells/kg and either escalate or de-escalate based on the presence of toxicities.
Group IX: Aggressive B-cell NHL Dose Level -1: .75x10^6 cells/kg: CAR20.19.22Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The investigators will start at a dose of 1x10^6 cells/kg and either escalate or de-escalate based on the presence of toxicities.
Group X: Aggressive B-cell NHL Dose Expansion: CAR20.19.22Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The maximum tolerated dose intervention will be updated when it is determined. It will be one of four doses: 0.75x10^6 cells/kg, 1x10^6 cells/kg, 2.5x10^6 cells/kg or 5x10^6 cells/kg.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is the most hazardous amount of CAR20.19.22 cells that can be administered to patients?

"Our analysis yields a rating of 1 for the safety profile of Dose Expansion: The maximum tolerated dose of CAR20.19.22 cells; this is due to it being in its introductory testing phase, wherein there are not many studies that back up its efficacy or safe usage."
