Blood cell collection could open door to CAR T-Cell therapy for leukemia and lymphoma patients

NCT ID NCT03226704

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study collects white blood cells from 120 people aged 3 to 65 with leukemia or lymphoma that hasn't been cured by standard treatments. The cells are gathered through a procedure called leukapheresis, then processed and frozen for future use in CAR T-cell therapy. The goal is to identify patients early who could benefit from this advanced treatment and have their cells ready when needed.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Leukapheresis
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help more people with hard-to-treat blood cancers get CAR T-cell therapy sooner.
What could go wrong
This is an early collection study, not a treatment trial. The cells may not be used if the patient's condition changes or if they don't qualify for a future CAR T-cell study.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

* INCLUSION CRITERIA: * Age: \>= 3 and \<= 65 years * Weight \>= 15 kg * Confirmation of cancer diagnosis provided by disease-specific assessment (e.g., flow cytometry, PCR) or H\&E verification. * Disease Status: * Relapsed/refractory cancer that has failed at least one standard regimen and are not in remission at the time of leukapheresis, OR * Previously treated patients without detectable disease at the time of leukapheresis but at high-relapse risk. * Potentially eligible for future NIH-CAR or other adoptive cell therapy based on the following: * Adequate performance status: Patients \> 10 years of age: Karnofsky \>= 50%; Patients \<= 10 years of age: Lansky scale \>= 50% * Adequate organ function: * absolute neutrophil count \>750/mcL\* * platelets \>=30,000/mcL\* * total bilirubin \<=2 X ULN (except in the case of subjects with documented Gilbert s disease \> 3x ULN) AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT)\<=20 X institutional upper limit of normal for age and laboratory normal ranges creatinine within age adjusted normal institutional limits (see below) OR creatinine clearance \>= 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 for creatinine levels above institutional normal. * Age (Years): \<=5; Maximum Serum Creatine (mg/dL): 0.8 * Age (Years): 5 \< age \<= 10; Maximum Serum Creatine (mg/dL): 1.0 * Age (Years): \>10; Maximum Serum Creatine (mg/dL): 1.2 * Cytopenias deemed to be disease-related and not therapy-related are exempt from this exclusion. * Patients, parents/guardians, legally authorized representative (LAR), or durable power of attorney must be able to give consent and sign the Informed Consent Document. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: * Transfusion refractory thrombocytopenia such that platelet count cannot be adequately supported with transfusions to be at \>=30,000/mcL * Active DIC, bleeding or coagulopathy which cannot be corrected with minimal intervention * Rapidly progressive disease or hyperleukocytosis \>= 50,000 blasts/mcL * Symptomatic, uncontrolled or severe intercurrent illness that would compromise the ability to tolerate CAR or adoptive cell therapy-based toxicity * Subjects must have recovered from the acute side effects of their prior therapy, such that eligibility criteria are met. Cytopenias deemed to be disease-related and not therapyrelated are exempt from this exclusion. * Pregnant or nursing (lactating) individuals, where pregnancy is defined as the state of after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG laboratory test at screening * Active or latent hepatitis B or active hepatitis C, or any uncontrolled infection at screening * Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection at screening (The experimental treatments being evaluated depend upon an intact immune system. Patients who are HIV seropositive can have decreased immune competence and thus be less responsive to the experimental treatment and more susceptible to its toxicities) * Any patient that in the opinion of the investigator is not medically stable to undergo the leukapheresis procedure or will not comply with the visit schedules or procedures
