Study Description

Brief Summary:

The primary objectives of this study are to determine the safety and efficacy of brexucabtagene autoleucel (KTE-X19) in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Relapsed/Refractory B-precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia	Biological: brexucabtagene autoleucel; Drug: Cyclophosphamide; Drug: Fludarabine	Phase 1; Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Bridging therapy could be administered at the discretion of the investigator and is recommended for participants with high disease burden at baseline (M3 marrow [> 25% leukemic blasts] or ≥ 1,000 blasts/mm^3 in the peripheral circulation) to control participant's disease prior to conditioning chemotherapy. Bridging therapy includes:

Attenuated VAD: Vincristine non-liposomal (1-2 mg IV weekly) or liposomal (2.25 mg/m^2 IV weekly), and dexamethasone 20-40 mg IV or oral administration (PO) daily x 3-4 days per week. Optional doxorubicin 50 mg/m^2 IV x 1 (first week only).

Mercaptopurine (6-MP): 50-75 mg/m^2/day by mouth (administer at bedtime on an empty stomach to improve absorption).

Hydroxyurea: Doses titrated between 15-50 mg/kg/day (rounded to the nearest 500 mg capsule and given as a single daily oral dose on a continuous basis).

DOMP: Dexamethasone 6 mg/m^2/day PO (or IV) divided twice daily (BID) Days 1-5, vincristine 1.5 mg/m^2 (maximum dose 2 mg) IV on Day 1, methotrexate 20 mg/m^2 PO weekly, 6-MP 50- 75mg/m^2/day PO daily.

Attenuated FLAG/FLAG-IDA: fludarabine 30 mg/m^2 IV days 1-2, cytarabine 2 g/m^2 IV days 1-2, G-CSF 5 μg/kg subcutaneously (SC) or IV starts on Day 3 and can continue until day before the start of conditioning chemotherapy. With or without idarubicin 6 mg/m^2 IV Days 1-2.

Mini-hyper CVAD (courses A and/or B):

Course A: Cyclophosphamide 150 mg/m^2 every 12 hours x 3 days, dexamethasone 20 mg/d IV or PO daily Days 1-4 and 11-14, vincristine 2 mg IV x 1 Course B: methotrexate 250 mg/m^2 IV over 24 hours on Day 1,cytarabine 0.5 g/m^2 IV every 12 hours x 4 doses on Days 2 and 3.

After completion of the Month 24 visit, subjects who received an infusion of KTE-X19 will complete the remainder of the 15 year follow-up assessments in a separate long-term follow-up study, KT-US-982-5968

    EQ-5D-5L is a self-reported questionnaire used for assessing the overall health status of a participant scoring 5 dimensions of health: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension was divided into 5 levels of severity: "No problem", "Slight problems", "Moderate problems", "Severe problems", and "Extreme problems" or "Unable to".
16. Phase 2: Change From Baseline Over Time in EQ-5D: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 28, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9, Month 12 ]
    EQ-5D is a self-reported questionnaire used for assessing the overall health status of a participant. The EQ-5D-VAS records the participant's self-rated health on a 20-cm vertical visual analogue scale and is asked to make a global assessment of their current state of health with 0 indicating the worst health they can imagine and 100 indicating the best health they can imagine.
