The TRICAR-ALL T-cells were made in the laboratory by stimulating the patient's blood with growth factors to make the T cells grow. To get the CD19/CD20/CD22 antibody and 4-1BB to attach to the surface of the T cell, we inserted the antibody gene into the T cell. This is done using a virus called a retrovirus that has been made for this study and will carry the antibody gene into the T cell.
Enrolled patients will be assigned a dose of TRICAR-ALL T-cells. Prior to receiving the TRICAR-ALL T-cells patients will receive two chemotherapy medications, cyclophosphamide (for 2 days) and fludarabine (4 days).
An injection of TRICAR-ALL T-cells will be given into a vein through an IV at the assigned dose. The injection will take from 1 to 20 minutes. Before receiving the infusion of TRICAR-ALL T-cells patients may be pre-medicated with diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and acetaminophen (Tylenol). Patients will be monitored for up to 3 hours after the injection, and will have to remain locally for at least 4 weeks.
If after a 4-week evaluation period, the patient has a complete response, they may proceed to bone marrow transplant, and will be removed from the treatment portion of the study.
Before treatment, patients will undergo a series of tests:
* Physical exam and history
* Blood tests to measure blood cells, serum chemistry, kidney and liver function
* Pregnancy test for female patients who are of childbearing potential
* Measurements of your leukemia tumor cells by bone marrow studies
* Echocardiogram
* Imaging such as PET scans, CT scans or MRIs will be obtained if needed
During and after treatment, patients will receive these standard medical tests:
* History and physical examination: pre-infusion of T cells (pre-Day 0), infusion day (Day 0) and on Days 1, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28, 42, 56 post infusion of T- cells. Subsequently, history will be taken at 3-, 6-, and 12-months post infusion of T-cells, and then yearly for a total of 15 years.
* Blood tests to measure blood cells, serum chemistry, kidney and liver function: pre-infusion of T cells (pre-Day 0), infusion day (Day 0) and on Days 4, 7, 10, 14,21,28,42,56; then at month 3, 6, and 12; then yearly to year 15 (except for blood counts which will be done every 6 months through year 5).
* Viral PCRs: Pre Chemo, infusion day (Day 0), weeks 1-, 2-, 4- and 8; then at month 3, 6, 9 and 12.
* Measurements of your leukemia tumor cells by bone marrow studies at week 4 (+/- 3 days) and week 8 (+/- 3 days) after the infusion and then per standard of care.
* Imaging such as PET scans, CT scans or MRIs will be obtained, if needed, at 4 weeks and again at 8 weeks after T -Cell infusion (+/- 3 days) and then per standard of care.
Blood Draws:
Blood will be taken before the chemotherapy drugs, before T cell infusion, 3-4 hours after the T cell infusion, and on Days 4, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42, 56 ( +/- 3 days) after the infusion; then at month 3, 6, 9, and 12; every 6 months for 4 years, then yearly for a total of 15 years(+/- 2 weeks).
In the event of your death, we will request permission from your next of kin to perform an autopsy to learn more about the effect of this experimental treatment on your cancer.
