PHASE1

Brief Summary

The CD123-CAR T-cell therapy is a new treatment that is being investigated for treatment of AML/myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), T- or B- acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or blastic plasmacytoid dend...

  • Patients in 2nd or greater relapse
  • Patients with relapse after allogeneic HSCT
  • Refractory disease that is CD123 positive and CD19 negative/dim or patients otherwise ineligible for CD19 directed therapies
  • T-cell All • Relapsed refractory disease that is CD123 positive
  • BPDCN
  • • Relapsed/refractory disease that has failed front-line therapy
  • Estimated life expectancy of \>12 weeks
  • Karnofsky or Lansky (age-dependent) performance score ≥50
  • Patients with a history of prior allogeneic HCT must be clinically recovered from prior HCT therapy, have no evidence of active GVHD and have not received a donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) within the 28 days prior to apheresis
  • Patient must have an identified, suitable HCT donor
  • For females of child-bearing age:
  • Not lactating with intent to breastfeed
  • Not pregnant with negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to enrollment
  • Meets eligibility criteria to undergo autologous apheresis, or have previously undergone autologous apheresis
  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Known primary immunodeficiency
  • History of HIV infection
  • Severe intercurrent uncontrolled bacterial, viral or fungal infection (e.g. active hepatitis B or C infection or adenovirus infection)
  • History of hypersensitivity reactions to murine protein-containing products
  • Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL, t (15;17))
  • Known contraindication to the protocol defined lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimen of fludarabine/cyclophosphamide.
  • Inclusion Criteria for Treatment:
  • Age≤21 years old
  • Detectable disease that is CD123+ (at least MRD+ disease)
  • Estimated life expectancy of \>8 weeks
  • Karnofsky or Lansky (age-dependent) performance score≥50
  • Patients with a history of prior allogeneic HCT must be clinically recovered from prior HCT therapy, have no evidence of active GVHD and have not received a donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) within the 28 days prior to planned infusion
  • Patient must have an identified, suitable HCT donor
  • Adequate cardiac function defined as left ventricular ejection fraction \>40%, OR shortening fraction ≥25%
  • EKG without evidence of clinically significant arrhythmia
  • Adequate renal function defined as creatinine clearance or radioisotope GFR ≥50 ml/min/1.73m2 (GFR ≥40 ml/min/1.73m2 if \< 2 years of age)
  • Adequate pulmonary function defined as forced vital capacity (FVC)≥50% of predicted value; or pulse oximetry≥92% on room air if patient is unable to perform pulmonary function testing
  • Total Bilirubin≤3 times the upper limit of normal for age, except in subjects with Gilbert's syndrome
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) OR aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤5 times the upper limit of normal for age
  • Has recovered from all NCI CTAE grade III-IV, non-hematologic acute toxicities from prior therapy
  • For females of child-bearing age
  • Not lactating with intent to breastfeed
  • Not pregnant with negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to enrollment
  • If sexually active, agreement to use birth control until 3 months after T- cell infusion. Male partners should use a condom.
  • Available autologous transduced T-cell product that has met GMP release criteria
  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Known primary immunodeficiency
  • History of HIV infection
  • Severe intercurrent uncontrolled bacterial, viral or fungal infection
  • History of hypersensitivity reactions to murine protein-containing products
  • History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to cornstarch or hydroxyethyl starch.
  • Receiving systemic steroids therapy exceeding the equivalent of 0.5 mg/kg/day of methylprednisolone, in the 7 days prior to CD123-CAR T- cell infusion
  • Receiving systemic therapy in the 14 days prior to CD123-CAR T-cell infusion, which will interfere with the activity of the CD123-CAR T cells in vivo (in the opinion of the study PI(s))
  • Receiving rituximab therapy in the 30 days prior to CD123-CAR T cell infusion. (This exclusion criterion is intended to prevent premature exposure of CD123-CAR T cells to rituximab, which would activate the safety switch and promote CAR T-cell apoptosis).
  • Receiving intrathecal chemotherapy in the 7 days prior to CD123-CAR T cell infusion.
  • Known contraindication to the protocol defined lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimen of fludarabine/cyclophosphamide.
  • Active CNS disease
