Experimental: CD19/22 CAR T-cells
Patients meeting the eligibility criteria will have leukapheresis to isolate the blood immune cells used to manufacture the CD19/22CAR T-cells. Patients will receive lymphodepletion with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide prior to infusion of the CD19/22CAR T-cells.
|
Procedure: Leukapheresis
Patients will undergo an unstimulated leukapheresis to isolate the required immune cells to produce the CD19/22 CAR T-cells Drug: Lymphodepletion with fludarabine Patients will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy with iv fludarabine 30 mg/m2 on days -7 to -3 prior to CD19/22CAR T-cell infusion. Drug: Lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide Patients will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy with iv cyclophosphamide 0.5 g/m2 on days -4 to -2 prior to CD19/22CAR T-cell infusion. Biological: CD19/22 CAR T-cells A single dose of 1 x 10^6/kg CD19/22CAR transduced T-cells will be given as an intravenous injection through a Hickman line or PICC line(peripherally inserted central catheter) on day 0. |
- Toxicity evaluation following CD19/22CAR T-cell infusion [ Time Frame: 1 month ]The incidence of grade 3-5 toxicity occurring within 60 days of CD19/22CAR T-cell infusion. In particular, the incidence of Severe Cytokine Release Syndrome and Grade 3-5 neurotoxicity occurring within 30 days of CD19/22CAR T-cell infusion.
- Molecular remission [ Time Frame: 1 month ]Efficacy will be assessed by determining Minimal Residual Disease in the bone marrow aspirate using immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and/or Next Generation Sequencing in all patients. The proportion of patients achieving molecular remission at 1 month post CD19/22CAR T-cell infusion will be determined.
- Long term molecular remission [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Number of patients in molecular remission without further therapy at 2 years
- Frequency of circulating CD19/22 CAR T-cells [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Persistence and frequency of circulating CD19/22CAR T-cells in the peripheral blood by flow cytometry and qPCR analyses.
- Incidence of hypogammaglobulinaemia [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Incidence and duration of hypogammaglobulinaemia
- Relapse rate [ Time Frame: 10 years ]Relapse rate monitored during interventional phase and long term follow up for a total of10 years post cell infusion. Number of patients who relapsed can be summarized as a percentage or rate(for all patients registered to the trial, and also only for those who received the cell infusion).
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 10 years ]Overall survival is monitored during interventional phase and long term follow up for 10 years post-CD19/22 CAR T-cell infusion. Number of patients alive can be summarized as a percentage (for all patients registered to the trial, and also only for those who received the cell infusion).
