Dual Anti-CD22/CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor-directed T Cells (CART2219.1) for Relapsed Refractory B-Lineage Leukaemia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to deliver dual-targeting CAR-T cell therapy (CART 2219.1) as a salvage treatment to patients with relapsed/refractory B-lineage leukaemia in place of stem cell transplant or irradiation.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Cohort 1 (Dose-escalation) Dose-finding and dose expansion cohort for intravenous autologous anti-CD22/CD19 CAR-T using a relapsed refractory B-ALL cohort. |
Biological: Phase I
Dose level 0: CAR+CD3+ 0.4 x 10e6/kg (de-escalation dose)
Dose level 1: CAR+CD3+ 1 x 10e6/kg (starting dose)
Dose level 2: CAR+CD3+ 2.5 x 10e6/kg.
Dose-escalations for adults and paediatrics will be performed in 2 independent strata for determination of RP2D.
|
Experimental: Cohort 2 (High MRD) Patients with B-ALL with high MRD after induction therapy or after consolidation therapy in replacement of stem cell transplant |
Biological: Phase II
RP2D will be determined in Phase I
|
Experimental: Cohort 3 (Extrameduallary ALL) Patients with testicular or central nervous system B-ALL in replacement of radiation |
Biological: Phase II
RP2D will be determined in Phase I
|
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Recommended Phase II Dose (Phase I, Cohort 1) [30 days]
The RP2D will be the dose level at which < 1 DLT in 3 patients or < 2 DLT in 6 patients is observed in both the adult and paediatric dose escalation stratas.
- Number of patients with dose-limiting toxicities (Phase I, Cohort 1) [30 days]
To be DLTs, adverse events must be suspected to be secondary to CAR-T cell infusion, occur during the first 30 days after infusion and meet at least one of the following criteria: Grade ≥ 3 non-hematologic toxicities, with the following exceptions: Laboratory abnormalities without associated symptomatology or clinical consequence that resolve in less than 7 days; Grade ≤ 2 cytokine release syndrome; Grade 3 cytokine release syndrome that improves to grade ≤ 2 within 3 days of intervention; Grade 3 neurotoxicity that resolves to grade 2 or less within 3 days. Laboratory abnormalities compatible with tumor lysis syndrome; Grade ≥ 4 hematologic toxicities that persist at a grade ≥ 3 for >21 days. Cytokine release syndrome and immune-effector cell associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) are graded according to ASTCT consensus grading. Adverse events are graded according to CTCAE version 5.0.
- 12-month Leukaemia Free Survival (Phase II, Cohort 2 and 3) [12 months]
Survival with Marrow MRD <0.01% by flow cytometry
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Overall Survival Rate (OS) [12 months]
Percentage of patients in the study who are alive 12 months after CAR-T infusion.
- Overall Response Rate (ORR) [3 months]
Percentage of patients in the study who have a partial or complete response to the treatment within 3 months.
- Duration of Response (DOR) [Up to 24 months]
Duration of complete remission (CR or CR with partial/incomplete haematological recovery)
- Duration of CAR-T persistence [Up to 24 months]
Duration of measurable CAR-T above detection limits in peripheral blood and/or marrow

Cohort 1 (Phase I): Relapsed/Refractory B-ALL
-
Patients must have relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-lineage ALL meeting one of the following disease-specific criteria:
-
Patients with r/r ALL with >5% blasts in BM (M2 or M3) after at least one standard chemotherapy and one salvage regimen who are ineligible for allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT) or have refractory disease activity (e.g. persistent MRD in bone marrow) precluding alloSCT, or
-
Patients with Ph+ ALL if they are intolerant to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy, or if they have r/r disease after treatment including TKI, or
-
Patients who have relapsed post-allogeneic HSCT and are at least 100 days post-transplant, with no evidence of active GVHD, > 6 weeks post donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) and no longer taking immunosuppressive agents for at least 30 days prior to enrolment.
-
Patients who have relapsed after prior CAR-T therapy who are not eligible for stem cell transplant and have < 5% circulating CAR-T prior to apheresis
-
Patients with refractory/relapsed combined extramedullary ALL are eligible. This includes patients with combined CNS-2 (<5 WBC/μl CSF, with blasts on cytospin) or CNS-3 (>5 WBC/ul CSF, with blasts on cytospin) disease and patients with combined testicular relapse.
Cohort 2 (Phase II): B-ALL with persistent MRD (High Risk B-ALL)
• Patients must have persistent MRD >0.1% blasts after frontline induction chemotherapy or
0.01% blasts after consolidation therapy.
Cohort 3 (Phase II): Relapsed/Refractory Extramedullary B-ALL
-
Patients with testicular leukaemia confirmed on biopsy
-
Patients with CNS-3 B-ALL or Leptomeningeal disease
-
Patients with combined bone marrow and extramedullary relapse (as defined in Cohort 1) are eligible.
Exclusion Criteria:
All Cohorts:
-
Blasts are negative for both CD22 and CD19 on flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry, defined as < 10% of blasts staining positive for CD22 and CD19 respectively [IBFM 2016 Consensus Guidelines].
