Canadian-Led Immunotherapies in Cancer: CLIC-1901 for the Treatment of Patients With Relapsed/Refractory CD19 Positive Hematologic Malignancies
The investigators propose an early phase study defined as a phase I/II trial assessing safety, feasibility and efficacy of CLIC-1901 autologous anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cells (CAR-T) cells for participants with relapsed/refractory CD19 positive (CD19+) Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). The Initial Stage of the study (n=20 participants) will focus on feasibility and safety while the Extended Stage will include all participants enrolled in the study (n=additional 80 participants for a total of 100) and will focus on efficacy and safety outcomes. In the proposed trial, we will administer our CAR-T cell product to these participants as a single infusion. Participants will undergo (a) lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, followed by (b) infusion of autologous CLIC-1901 CAR-T cells. All treatments will be delivered intravenously.
• Participant must have relapsed or refractory CD19+ disease as defined by one of the following:
• a. Relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia or chronic lymphocytic leukemia as defined by one of the following: i. Second or greater relapse ii. Any relapse after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) iii. Chemorefractory as defined by not achieving CR after 2 cycles of a standard induction chemotherapy or one cycle of salvage therapy b. Histologically confirmed B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma including but not limited to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, or transformed follicular lymphoma, Richter's, Burkitt's or Mantle Cell lymphoma with one of the following: i. Second or greater relapse ii. Any relapse after autologous or allogeneic SCT iii. Chemorefractory as defined by not achieving CR after 2 cycles of a standard chemotherapy or one cycle of salvage therapy
• All eligible participants must have documentation of CD19 tumour expression demonstrated in tissue biopsy, bone marrow or peripheral blood within the 3 months prior to study screening.
• Adequate organ function
• Participant age: 18 to 75 years.
• Provide written informed consent
