Brief Summary:
This is a first-in-human phase 1 study of SYNCAR-001 + STK-009 in patients with CD19+ hematologic malignancies.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
CLL/SLL NHL Mantle Cell Lymphoma Follicular Lymphoma Large B-cell Lymphoma Indolent B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma Drug: SYNCAR-001 Drug: STK-009 Drug: Cyclophosphamide Drug: Fludarabine Phase 1

Detailed Description:
SYNCAR-001 + STK-009 is a 2-component human orthogonal (ho) IL-2 receptor-ligand cell therapy consisting of (1) SYNCAR-001, a CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) co-expressing an engineered IL-2 beta receptor (hoRb); and (2) STK-009, an engineered pegylated IL-2 cytokine (hoIL-2) selective for hoRb. The study will follow a 3+3 design during dose escalation. Cohort A will enroll subjects to SYNCAR-001 + STK-009 with lymphodepletion. At Dose Level 3, a separate dose escalation cohort will be introduced to enroll subjects to SYNCAR-001 + STK-009 without lymphodepletion (Cohort B). Subsequent dose expansions will enroll subjects at the RP2D for each cohort.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009) ]
    Incidence of adverse events (AEs) meeting protocol defined DLT criteria and determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of STK-009 in combination with a fixed dose of SYNCAR-001

  2. Adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009) ]
    Assess the safety and tolerability of STK-009 in combination with SYNCAR-001 by review of AEs


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009) ]
    The ORR to treatment with SYNCAR-001 + STK-009

  2. Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009) ]
    To evaluate the duration of anti-cancer response after SYNCAR-001 + STK-009 administration.

  3. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009) ]
    The time from the SYNCAR-001 administration date to the date of disease progression per Lugano Classification or iwCLL or death from any cause, whichever occurs earlier.

  4. Area under the curve (AUC) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009) ]
    The quantification of the cumulative amount of drug over time.

  5. Maximum Concentration (Cmax) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009) ]
    To identify the maximum (peak) drug concentration dosing.

  6. Time of maximum concentration [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009) ]
    The time to reach maximum (peak) drug concentration after dosing.

  7. Immunogenicity [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009) ]
    Immunogenicity will be assessed by summarizing the number of patients who develop detectable anti-STK-009 and/or anti-SYNCAR-001 anti-drug antibodies (ADAs)
