Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment that involves genetically modifying immune cells to attack the cancer.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for people with certain types of blood cancers like non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia that have returned or persisted despite treatment. Participants need to have a specific type of T-cell in their blood, be recovered from previous treatments, and meet certain health criteria including organ function and blood counts. Pregnant individuals or those with allergies to mouse proteins cannot join.

What is being tested?

The study tests genetically modified T-cells combined with an antibody called anti-CD19 to fight cancer. These special cells are designed to better recognize and kill cancer cells by targeting CD19 on their surface. The trial aims to determine the highest safe dose, understand side effects, how long the T-cells last in the body, and if they're effective against lymphoma or leukemia.

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include reactions related to immune response such as fever and fatigue; risk of infection; possible allergic reactions due to murine (mouse) protein components; issues from increased immune activity like inflammation in organs; plus typical risks associated with cell transfusions.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: CD19CAR-28-zeta T cellsExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Three dose levels of CTLs will be evaluated. Each patient will receive one injection according to their assigned dose over 1-10 minutes IV. \*At the discretion of the attending physician, if after a 4 to 6-week evaluation period the patient has had apparent clinical benefit (as determined by symptoms, physical exam or radiological studies); repeat infusions separated by 4 to 6 weeks (up to a maximum of 3 extra doses) of modified T cells at the same dose level or below the patient's original dose can be administered.
