Evaluation of CD19-Specific CAR Engineered Autologous T-Cells for Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory CD19+ Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

SJCAR19 is a research study seeking to evaluate the use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, a type of cellular therapy, for the treatment of pediatric, adolescent and young adult patients with relapsed or refractory CD19+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). CAR therapy combines two of the body's basic disease fighters: antibodies and T Cells. For this type of therapy, peripheral (circulating) immune cells are collected and then undergo a manufacturing process to engineer them to more effectively kill cancer cells. The SJCAR19 product will be manufactured at the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facility. The main purpose of this study is to determine: 1. The largest dose of SJCAR19 that is safe to give, 2. How long SJCAR19 cells last in the body, 3. The side effects of SJCAR19, and 4. Whether or not treatment with SJCAR19 is effective in treating people with refractory or relapsed ALL.

Safety and Feasibility of CD19 CAR T Cells Using CliniMACS Prodigy for Relapsed/Refractory CD19 Positive ALL and NHL

This pilot study examines the safety and efficacy of anti-CD19 CAR T cells manufactured on-site in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory CD19+ B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or CD19+ B cell non Hodgkin lymphoma. Patients will undergo screening, leukapheresis (cell collection), lymphodepleting chemotherapy with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, followed by the anti-CD19 CAR T cell infusion. The lymphodepleting chemotherapy is administered over four days IV to prepare the body for the CAR T cells. The anti-CD19 CAR-T cells are infused between 2-14 days after the last dose of chemotherapy. This study is designed for participants to begin lymphodepleting chemotherapy during the CAR T cell manufacture and receive a fresh cell infusion on the day that manufacturing is complete. Some patients may need more time in between the cell collection and the CAR T cell infusion, therefore, the cells may be manufactured and frozen prior to administration. Patients will be followed for a year after the cell infusion on the study and for up to 15 years to monitor for potential long term side effects of cell therapy.

Combination of an Anti-PD1 Antibody With Tisagenlecleucel Reinfusion in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia After Loss of Persistence

Tisagenlecleucel (CTL019) is an anti-CD19 autologous Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, which has shown dramatic early results in advanced ALLs. Early loss of B-cell aplasia (recovery of B-cells in marrow/ peripheral blood within 6 months after infusion), a marker of the loss or non-functionality of the CAR T-cells, is associated to a very high risk of relapse. A reinfusion of CTL019, even after Fludarabine-Cyclophosphamide reconditioning, frequently fails to induce further expansion as observed in UPENN studies and in the Robert Debré Hospital experience. Non-persistence of CAR T-cells may be due to immune- mediated rejection or environment-mediated suppression of their growth. Evidence for increased PD-1 expression in CAR T-cells between infusion and peak expansion has been demonstrated in clinical samples. Preclinical data and few clinical data support a role of PD- 1-PD-L1 blockade in improving the effectiveness of CAR T-cell therapy. The objectives of this phase I/II study is to determine the safety, efficacy and feasibility of Nivolumab (Opdivo®)- an anti-PD1 treatment- combined to tisagenlecleucel in a cohort of relapsed or refractory B-ALL patients, aged 1-25 years old, previously treated by tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah®), with a demonstrated early loss of B-cell aplasia (within 6 months), a surrogate marker of the loss of CAR T-cells or their non- functionality. More specifically, the main objectives are: • In cohort 1 that includes patients with a MRD negative disease status combined to an early loss (within 6 months) of B-cell aplasia : To determine the optimal starting time of Nivolumab (Opdivo®) in terms of safety and efficacy among 4 candidate time points (day 14, day 11, day 5, and day - 1). • In cohort 2 that includes relapsed patients with an early loss (within 6 months) of B-cell aplasia : To estimate the feasibility in terms of safety and efficacy of a very early start of nivolumab (day-1), prior to the reinfusion of tisagenlecleucel
