22CT015: CART 19-22 co-administration

CAR T cell therapy has shifted the treatment landscape for pediatric and young adult patients with advanced B-cell leukemias. This study aims to treat patients with relapsed disease by administering two CART cell products, huCART19 and CART22-65s. The study will determine the safety and efficacy and usefulness of administering two CAR T cell products in patients with advanced B-cell leukemias.

This is a Phase 1/2b trial for the treatment of patients with either advanced or refractory B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or B-lineage lymphoblastic lymphoma. Possible procedures include medical record review, apheresis, huCART19 infusion, blood draws, physical exams, imaging, and disease assessments through bone marrows and lumbar punctures. Overall, approximately 93 subjects will be enrolled on this clinical trial.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Conditions: Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

AALL2121: SNDX-5613 for Relapsed or Refractory Leukemia

This study enrolls patients that have been diagnosed with acute leukemia associated with a KMT2A (MLL) gene rearrangement (referred to as KMT2Arearranged, or KMT2A-R). The KMT2A-R leukemia has come back after treatment (relapsed) or is not responding to treatment (it is refractory). This study involves taking a study drug called SNDX-5613. The study is divided into two phases: one in which the study drug is given in combination with chemotherapy and a phase where the study drug is given alone. The purpose of the study is to test the safety of the study drug with chemotherapy, and how well the treatment regimen works for infants and young children with relapsed or refractory KMT2A-R leukemia.

Phase: Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Children

Conditions: Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Pediatric Leukemias

AUTO1 for B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia and B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

The purpose of this study is to determine whether AUTO1, an experimental form of therapy, is safe and effective in helping the immune system fight cancer. AUTO1 uses immune cells, called T cells, that are collected from the blood using a process called leukapheresis and then modified in a lab to recognize and target cancer cells. These modified cells are then put back into the body through infusion.

Carfilzomib in ALL

CHOP, in collaboration with Onyx Therapeutics, Inc., is conducting a study for children and young adults up to 21 years old, with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This clinical trial is adding the study drug, Carfilzomib, to a standard relapse chemotherapy regimen. For more information about this study, including specific eligibility criteria, please visit clinicaltrials.gov and search for "NCT02303821". To hear more about this and other available trails or get any questions answered please contact our Cancer Intake Specialist by phone at 267-426-0762 or email Oncointake@email.chop.edu.

Phase: Phase II

Actively recruiting: No

Conditions: Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

CD33 CART AML

This phase 1/2 study will determine the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of CD33 CART cells following lymphodepleting chemotherapy in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patients who are between ages 1 to 30 years with relapsed or refractory AML will be eligible for this study.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)

Fludarabine/Cytarabine/Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin With or Without Venetoclax in Relapsed AML

This study involves taking a study drug called venetoclax with or without standard of care chemotherapy. The overall goal of this study is to see if adding venetoclax to standard chemotherapy leads to improved survival for children and young adults with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The study may last up to 9 years and will enroll male and female patients from the ages of 29 days to 21 years of age.

Phase: Phase III

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)

Oral Asciminib in CML

This study involves taking a study drug called asciminib. The overall goal of the study is to find out how safe and effective the study drug is in treating people that have been diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and have not responded to treatment.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Phase 2 trial of CART19 for Orphan Indications Of Pediatric B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL)

This is an open-label, four-cohort, phase 2 study to determine the efficacy of CART19 in pediatric and young adult patients with hypodiploid (Cohort A) or t(17;19) B-ALL (Cohort B), infants with very high risk KMT2A B-ALL (Cohort C), and in patients with central nervous system (CNS) relapse who did not receive cranial radiation (XRT) or bone marrow transplantation (BMT) (Cohort D). Possible procedures include medical record review, apheresis, CART19 infusion, blood draws, physical exams, imaging, and disease assessments through bone marrows and lumbar punctures. If interested in the study or if you have any questions, please contact 267-426-0762.

Prodigy huCART19

CAR T cell therapy has shifted the treatment landscape for pediatric and young adult patients with advanced B-cell leukemias. However, the manufacturing process remains in its first generation: difficult, time-consuming, and not automated. The time and significant resources in this process can result in patient safety issues - with patients growing sicker, with harder to control leukemias - in the waiting period. Use of the CliniMACS Prodigy platform can help to surmount these issues. This study will determine the safety and usefulness of using the CliniMACS Prodigy platform to manufacture huCART19 cells.

This is a Phase 1/2b trial for the treatment of patients with either advanced or refractory B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or B-lineage lymphoblastic lymphoma who will be treated with huCART19, which has been manufactured using the CliniMACs Prodigy Platform. Possible procedures include medical record review, apheresis, huCART19 infusion, blood draws, physical exams, imaging, and disease assessments through bone marrows and lumbar punctures. Overall, approximately 89 subjects will be enrolled on this clinical trial.
