IVIG for Infection Prevention After CAR-T-Cell Therapy

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Patients receive immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IGRT) with intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) within 14 days prior to CD19 CAR-T-cell infusion. Patients then undergo CD19 CAR-T therapy. Patients receive IVIG monthly, starting 28 days after CD19 CAR-T therapy for up to 4 months in the absence of unacceptable toxicity, relapse of the underlying disease, or subsequent hematopoietic cell transplant. Doses 3, 4, and 5 are highly encouraged but not required. Patients also undergo blood sample collection throughout the study. ARM II: Patients receive placebo with normal saline IV within 14 days prior to CD19 CAR-T treatment. Patients then undergo CD19 CAR-T-cell infusion. Patients receive normal saline monthly, starting 28 days after CD19 CAR-T therapy for up to 4 months in the absence of unacceptable toxicity, relapse of the underlying disease, or subsequent hematopoietic cell transplant. Doses 3, 4, and 5 are highly encouraged but not required. Patients also undergo blood sample collection throughout the study. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up monthly through up to 6 months after CD19 CAR-T-cell infusion.
