Study Summary

This trial is testing a medication to stop side effects of CD19 CAR T-cell therapy for B-cell cancers. It works by protecting blood vessels and preventing brain inflammation.

Who is the study for?
Adults with recurrent or refractory B-cell cancers eligible for specific CAR T-cell therapies can join this trial. They must be in relatively good health, understand the study, and agree to use effective birth control. People with severe allergies to interferon beta, significant kidney/liver/heart/pulmonary dysfunction, or uncontrolled infections cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if Interferon-Beta-1a (FP-1201) given intravenously can prevent serious side effects after CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy in patients with certain B-cell malignancies. It's a phase I/II trial focusing on safety and effectiveness of FP-1201.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Interferon-Beta-1a may cause flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, fatigue, muscle aches; it might also affect blood counts leading to anemia or increase infection risk. Some people could experience irritation at the injection site.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Prevention (interferon beta-1A [FP-1201])Experimental Treatment11 Interventions
Patients undergo leukapheresis prior to treatment and receive FP-1201 IV for 3 days every 24 hours from day -3 through day -1 or for 5 days every 24 hours from day -5 through day -1 or on day -5, day -3, and day -1. Patients may receive lymphodepletion chemotherapy with either cyclophosphamide IV and fludarabine IV on days -5, -4, -3 followed by axi-cel IV or brexu-cel IV on day 0 or fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -4, -3, and -2 and cyclophosphamide IV over 60 minutes on day -2 followed by brexu-cel IV on day 0. Patients undergo x-ray imaging and ECHO or MUGA during screening. Patients also undergo CT or PET/CT as well as LP for CSF collection and/or bone marrow aspiration and biopsy as clinically indicated during screening and follow-up. Patients undergo blood sample collection on study and during follow-up as well as a tissue biopsy during screening and follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What objectives does this trial hope to achieve?

"The primary goal of this trial, evaluated 14 days after the last interferon-beta-1a (FP-1201) administration, is to assess adverse event incidence. Secondary objectives include estimating cytokine release syndrome rates with American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy criteria, calculating cumulative corticosteroid dose through descriptive statistics, and determining overall response rate according to Lugano criteria for B-non Hodgkin lymphoma patients or National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines for acute lymphoblastic leukemia participants."
