CD19/CD22 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells and Chemotherapy in Treating Children or Young Adults With Recurrent or Refractory CD19 Positive B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of CD19/CD22 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells when given together with chemotherapy, and to see how well they work in treating children or young adults with CD19 positive B acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment. A CAR is a genetically-engineered receptor made so that immune cells (T cells) can attack cancer cells by recognizing and responding to the CD19/CD22 proteins. These proteins are commonly found on B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving CD19/CD22-CAR T cells and chemotherapy may work better in treating children or young adults with B acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- In view of the principal investigator (PI) and the primary oncologist, there must be
no available alternative curative therapies and subjects must be either ineligible for
allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT), have refused SCT, recurred after SCT, or have
disease activity that prohibits SCT at the time of enrollment
- Chemotherapy refractory disease in subjects with B-ALL is defined as progression
or stable disease after two lines of standard therapies (two induction regimens),
or relapsed disease after 2 established induction regimens
- Subjects with persistent or relapsed minimal residual disease (MRD)/next
generation sequencing (NGS) relapse require verification of relapse on two
occasions at least 4 weeks apart
- Subjects with Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+
ALL) subjects are eligible if they progressed, had stable disease or relapsed
after two lines of therapy, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs)
- Subjects with lymphoma must have progressed, had stable disease (SD), or recurred
after two standard treatment regimens
- CD19 expression is required and must be detected on greater than 50% of the malignant
cells by immunohistochemistry or >= 90% by flow cytometry; the choice of whether to
use flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry will be determined by what is the most
easily available tissue sample in each subject; in general, immunohistochemistry will
be used for lymph node biopsies, flow cytometry will be used for peripheral blood and
bone marrow samples
- Subjects who have undergone autologous SCT will be eligible if all other eligibility
criteria are met; subjects who have undergone allogeneic SCT will be eligible if, in
addition to meeting other eligibility criteria, they are at least 100 days
post-transplant, they have no evidence of active graft versus host disease (GVHD) and
have been without immunosuppressive agents for at least 30 days
- For patients with lymphoma, evaluable or measurable disease according to the revised
International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma must be
present; lesions that have been previously irradiated will be considered measurable
only if progression has been documented following completion of radiation therapy
- At least 2 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, must have elapsed since any
prior systemic therapy at the time the subject is planned for leukapheresis, except
for systemic inhibitory/stimulatory immune checkpoint therapy, which requires 5
half-lives
- Exceptions:
- There is no time restriction with regard to prior intrathecal chemotherapy
provided there is complete recovery from any acute toxic effects of such
- Subjects receiving hydroxyurea may be enrolled provided there has been no
increase in dose for at least 2 weeks prior to starting apheresis
- Subjects who are on standard ALL maintenance type chemotherapy (vincristine,
6-mercaptopurine or oral methotrexate) may be enrolled provided that
chemotherapy is discontinued at least 1 week prior to apheresis
- Subjects receiving steroid therapy at physiologic replacement doses only are
allowed provided there has been no increase in dose for at least 2 weeks
prior to starting apheresis
- For radiation therapy: radiation therapy must have been completed at least 3
weeks prior to enrollment, with the exception that there is no time
restriction if the volume of bone marrow treated is less than 10% and also
the subject has measurable/evaluable disease outside the radiation port
- Toxicities due to prior therapy must be stable and recovered to =< grade 1 (except for
clinically non-significant toxicities such as alopecia)
- NOTE: the first subject in the first dose cohort must be >= 18 years of age if an
adult has not been treated at that dose cohort on the companion Stanford protocol

investigator to be due to underlying disease (i.e. potentially reversible with
anti-neoplastic therapy); a subject will not be excluded because of pancytopenia >=
grade 3 if it is due to disease, based on the results of bone marrow studies
- Platelet count >= 50,000/uL if these cytopenias are not judged by the investigator to
be due to underlying disease (i.e. potentially reversible with anti-neoplastic
therapy); a subject will not be excluded because of pancytopenia >= grade 3 if it is
due to disease, based on the results of bone marrow studies
