CD19/CD22 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells for the Treatment of B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase I trial evaluates the safety and best dose of donor CD19/CD22-chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells in combination with CD34+ progenitor cells and regulatory and conventional T cells for the treatment of patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. In this trial, T cells are taken from a healthy donor’s blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient’s cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving CD19/CD22 CAR T cells after infusion with CD34+ progenitor cells and T cells may be more effective at treating B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and may reduce the risk of the cancer coming back (relapse).
