What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the side effects and best dose of CD4+ and CD8+ HA-1 T cell receptor (TCR) T cells in treating patients with acute leukemia that persists, returns, or does not respond after a donor stem cell transplant. This phase I trial explores how genetically modified donor T cells can recognize leukemia cells by targeting the HA-1 protein on their surface. The study aims to better understand the feasibility and safety of this adoptive immunotherapy approach for leukemia patients post-transplant. Participants receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, ending 2 to 14 days before receiving the HA-1 TCR T cells intravenously. After T cell infusion, patients are closely followed for 12 weeks, then every 6 months for years 1 through 5, and annually for years 6 through 15. The study involves procedures like bone marrow aspirations and blood sample collections to monitor treatment effects. During the trial, researchers assess the ability to manufacture and administer the HA-1 TCR T cells, monitor dose-limiting toxicities within 12 weeks, and track how long the modified T cells persist in the blood and bone marrow for up to one year. They also evaluate the reduction of leukemia and normal recipient cells in bone marrow and observe any new or recurrent graft-versus-host disease symptoms for one year. Long-term follow-up up to 15 years helps ensure ongoing safety and effectiveness assessments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligible

You may qualify if you...

  • Subject age 0-80 years at enrollment
  • Must express HLA-A*0201
  • Must have the HA-1(H) genotype (RS_1801284: A/G, A/A)
  • Must have an adult donor (age 18 or older) for stem cell transplant who is HLA matched and either HLA-A0201 positive and HA-1(H) negative or HLA-A0201 negative
  • Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoid leukemia, mixed phenotype acute leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia with blast crisis, myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia
  • Able to understand and give informed consent (or have legal representative consent for minors or decision-impaired adults)
  • Agree to participate in long-term follow-up for up to 15 years
  • May receive other treatments for relapse or minimal residual disease after transplant
  • No specific performance status required; infusion may be delayed if performance is low
  • Donors must be able to give informed consent
Not Eligible

You will not qualify if you...

  • Medical or psychological conditions making the subject unsuitable for cell therapy as decided by the investigator
  • Fertile subjects unwilling to use contraception during and for 12 months after treatment
  • Life expectancy less than 3 months due to diseases other than leukemia
  • Ongoing grade IV acute graft-versus-host disease or severe chronic graft-versus-host disease after transplant, unless exceptions are made by the investigator
  • Presence of organ toxicities may delay infusion but not necessarily exclude participation
  • Donors seropositive for HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV-1, HTLV-2 or with active hepatitis B or C infection
  • Unrelated donors outside the USA unless screening and leukapheresis are done at approved centers
