Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

To find a recommended dose of attIL2-T cell therapy that can be given to patients with soft tissue or bone sarcomas and to see if it can help to control the disease.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

Primary Objective:
  • Part A. Determine the safety, maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended phase 2 dose of adoptively transferred autologous tumor-targeted IL12 T cells (attIL12 T cell therapy) in combination with cyclophosphamide in patients with advanced/metastatic soft tissue or bone sarcomas

  • Part B. Characterize the safety and tolerability and assess preliminary efficacy of attIL12-armed T cells in combination with cyclophosphamide by evaluating the 4-month disease control rate (DCR4 months) in patients with recurrent unresectable osteosarcoma

Secondary Objectives:

--Evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy achieved following adoptive transfer of autologous tumor-targeted IL12 T cells (attIL12 T cell therapy) in combination with cyclophosphamide in patients with advanced/metastatic soft tissue or bone sarcomas

Exploratory Objectives:
  • Characterize the immune response following adoptive transfer of autologous tumor-targeted IL12 T cells (attIL12 T cell therapy) in paired in pre-treatment and on-treatment tumor specimens and peripheral blood samples

  • Assess FoxP3/CD33/CD8/IFNg expression in pre-treatment and on-treatment tumor specimens and correlate with clinical benefit/anti-tumor response

  • Determine changes in cell surface vimentin (CSV)-positive circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood before and after adoptive transfer of autologous tumor-targeted IL12 T cells (attIL12 T cell therapy) and correlate with clinical benefit/anti-tumor response

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. To examine the incidence of adverse events. [through study completion; an average of 1 year.]

      National Cancer Institute, Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 5.0. from screening through the treatment period

    Eligibility Criteria

    Criteria

    Ages Eligible for Study:
    12 Years and Older
    Sexes Eligible for Study:
    All
    Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
    No
    Inclusion criteria:
    1. Age >= 12 years old

    2. Histologically-confirmed locally advanced or metastatic soft tissue or bone sarcoma

    1. Osteosarcoma expansion cohort: histologically confirmed unresectable recurrent/metastatic osteosarcoma
    1. Measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1

    2. Patients must have received at least 1 prior line of systemic therapy for the treatment of sarcoma, unless no standard therapy exists for a specific sarcoma subtype

    3. At least 3 weeks must have elapsed since the last cytotoxic chemotherapy or immunotherapy prior to leukapheresis/PBMC collection. For targeted therapies, at least 4 half-lives or 3 weeks must have elapsed prior to leukapheresis (whichever is shorter).

    4. At least 3 weeks must have elapsed since last cytotoxic chemotherapy or immunotherapy prior to starting treatment with cyclophosphamide. For targeted therapies, at least 4 half-lives or 3 weeks must have elapsed prior to initiation of treatment with cyclophosphamide (whichever is shorter).

    5. ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 (Performance level as measured by Karnofsky for patients > 16 years of age or Lansky for patients ≤ 16 years of age, see Appendix B)

    6. Participants must be willing to undergo core-needle biopsy

    7. Patients must have organ and marrow function as defined below

    8. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1 K/uL, Hemoglobin > 9 g/dL, Platelets > 100 K/mm3

    9. Serum creatinine </= 2 mg/dL OR creatinine clearance > 50 mL/min

    10. Aspartic transaminase (AST) ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), Alanine transaminase (ALT) </= 1.5 x ULN, Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN

    11. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must agree to use method(s) of contraception: at least one highly effective or two effective accepted methods of contraception to avoid conception throughout the study in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimized. Suggested precautions should be used to minimize the risk or pregnancy for at least 1 month before start of therapy, and while women are on study for up to 3 months after T cell infusion. WOCBP include any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone successful surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral oophorectomy) or is not postmenopausal
