About this study

Official title: Phase I/ II Study of Cluster of Differentiation 19 (CD19) Specific CAR-T Cells (ISIKOK 19) in Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and Non Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)

It is a treatment that activates and strengthens the immune system against cancer. Recently, T cell receptors have been genetically rearranged by adaptive T cell therapies, which are promising in the fight against cancer, and are now able to recognize antigens on tumor cells. These modified T cell receptors are called chimeric antigen receptors. Many previous clinical studies have shown that different CAR-T cells are effective in relapse / refractory B cell cancers and NHL.

Read the detailed description

Clinical trials of CAR-T cell therapy started at the end of 1990s. Phase I and II trials have still evaluated the efficacy and safety of CAR-T cells in hematological and solid cancers. The therapy involves drawing blood from patients and isolation of the T cells. Next, the T cells are genetically engineered in a laboratory by using virus or sleeping beauty to produce receptors on their surface named as chimeric antigen receptors. As the last step, the CAR-T cells are infused back into the patient. After infusion, it is expected that the CAR-T cells further increase in number in the patient's body and with the help of their engineered receptor to recognize and target the antigen on the surface of the cancerous cells for antitumor effect.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Car-T Cell TherapyBiological

    Lymphodepletion Protocol:

    • -6. Day: Cyclophosphamide 300 mg / m^2 i.v.
    • -5. -4. and -3. Days: Fludarabine 30 mg / m^2 i.v. In addition, one day before the lymphodepletion protocol, xanthine oxidase enzyme inhibitor tablets received 100 mg / day p.o. and 0.9% sodium chloride solution 2000 ml / day i.v. infusion on protocol day received and continues for 2 weeks

    Car-T cells are administered in 3 split doses. Day 0: 20% or 40% (20% in patients with high tumor burden - in patients with bulky disease and / or more than 15% blast in bone marrow, 40% in patients with low tumor burden) Day 2: 30% or 50%, (the total amount of Car-T cell dose that should be given in the first 2 days should be 70%.) Third dose (%30);is given on the 7th day in the absence of cytokine release syndrome, or if cytokine release syndrome occurs, Car-T cells are given within 1 month if the number of copies falls below 5,000 / ml in 2 consecutive measurements.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events

    Type, frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) and laboratory abnormalities.

    Measured: 6 Months

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Complete Remission Rate

    It is determined by the evaluation of complete remission (CR) obtained in the first 3 months.

    Measured: 3 Months

  2. Total Response Rate

    CR obtained in the first 3 months is determined by evaluation of partial remission, incomplete partial remission and stable disease responses.

    Measured: 3 Months

  3. Duration of Remission (DOR)

    Duration of remission (DOR) is defined as the duration from the date when the response criteria of CR or CRi is first met to the date of relapse or death due to underlying cancer, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: 6 Months

  4. Relapse Free Survival (RFS)

    Relapse free survival (RFS) is measured by the time from achievement of CR or CRi whatever occurs first to relapse or death due to any cause during CR or CRi.

    Measured: 6 Months

  5. Progression Free Survival

    Only in the NHL is the duration from CAR T cell infusion to progression

    Measured: 6 Months

  6. Event-Free Survival (EFS)

    Event free survival (EFS) is the time from date of first Car-T cell infusion to the earliest of the following:

    • Death from any cause
    • Relapse

    Measured: 6 Months

  7. Overall Survival

    Overall survival (OS) is the time from date of first Car-T Cell infusion to the date of death due to any reason.

    Measured: 6 Months

  8. Duration to maximum response

    The duration from date of the first Car-T cell infusion to complete remission in ALL.

    The duration from date of the first Car-T cell infusion to complete remission and partial remission in NHL

    Measured: 6 Months

  9. The impact of baseline tumor burden on response

    Best overall response will be summarized by baseline tumor burden (MRD, extramedullary disease, etc.)

    Measured: 6 Months

  10. The relationship between CRS/CRES efficiency

    The relationship between CRS / CRES grades and total response rates are determined by correlation between DOR, RFS, EFS, PFS, OS.

    Measured: 6 Months

  11. The relationship between the total response and Car-T Cell persistence

    The relationship between total response and the number of Car-T copies is determined by the correlation between DOR, RFS, EFS, PFS, OS

    Measured: 6 Months

  12. The relationship between Car-T Cell product content and responses

    The relationship between Car-T Cell subgroups and total response are determined by the correlation between DOR, RFS, EFS, PFS, OS.

    Measured: 6 Months

  13. Car-T cell proliferation capability

    The relationship between the Car-T Cell proliferation capability and the total response, are determined by the correlation between DOR, RFS, EFS, PFS, OS.

    Measured: 6 months

  14. The relationship between MRD grade and clinical response

    The relationship between MRD grade and total response are determined by correlation between DOR, RFS, EFS, PFS, OS.

    Measured: 6 Months

  15. The relationship between the incidence of immune response to Car-T cells and the persistence of Car-T cell

    It is assessed as the relationship between antiserum effectivity against Car-T cells and Car-T cell copy number in blood.

    Measured: 6 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Car-T Cell Therapy in people with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Non Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by Acibadem University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 23 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ercument Ovalı, MD (+905325729174, ercument.ovali@acibadem.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Adverse Events (time frame: 6 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jan 2020.
