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

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

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

Afamitresgene Autoleucel in Pediatric Subjects with MAGE-A4 Positive Tumors

This study involves an investigational cellular therapy called Afamitresgene Autoleucel. The overall goal of this study is to find out how safe and effective this cellular therapy is in treating people that have been diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST), neuroblastoma or osteosarcoma that has grown or returned after being treated.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Neuroblastoma, Osteosarcoma (bone cancer in children), Soft tissue sarcomas

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.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Children

Conditions: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Children

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

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

Lurbinectedin in Ewing Sarcoma

This study involves taking a study drug called lurbinectedin. The overall goal of this study is to see if different doses of lurbinectedin are safe and effective at treating children and young adults with recurrent or relapsed solid tumors, including Ewing Sarcoma.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Central Nervous System (CNS) Germ Cell Tumors, Ewing sarcoma

Palbociclib, Irinotecan, and Temozolomide in Ewing Sarcoma

The purpose of the Phase 2 portion of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study drug called palbociclib when given in combination with two other drugs (temozolomide and irinotecan) in patients with Ewing sarcoma and when given in combination with topotecan and cyclophosphamide in patients with neuroblastoma.

Phase: Phase II

Actively recruiting: No

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Neuroblastoma, Ewing sarcoma

PEEL-224 in Solid Tumors

This study enrolls patients with refractory, progressive, or relapsed solid tumors. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a drug called PEEL-224 ("the study drug") is safe and effective when given as monotherapy (a drug given by itself) and as part of a combination therapy together with other chemotherapy drugs.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Ewing sarcoma, Hepatoblastoma (liver cancer), Relapsed or Refractory Neuroblastoma, Osteosarcoma (bone cancer in children), Rhabdomyosarcoma, Soft tissue sarcomas, Wilms Tumor (Kidney Tumor)

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.
