CD19/CD22 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cells in Children and Young Adults With Recurrent or Refractory CD19/CD22-expressing B Cell Malignancies
Background: B-cell leukemias and lymphomas are cancers that are often difficult to treat. The primary objective of this study is to determine the ability to take a patient's own cells (T lymphocytes) and grow them in the laboratory with the cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19/cluster of differentiation 22-chimeric antigen receptor (CD22-CAR) gene through a process called 'lentiviral transduction (also considered gene therapy) and growing them to large numbers to use as a treatment for hematologic cancers in children and young adults.. Researchers want to see if giving modified CD19/CD22-CAR T cells to people with these cancers can attack cancer cells. In addition, the safety of giving these gene modified cells to humans will be tested at different cell doses. Additional objectives are to determine if this therapy can cause regression of B cell cancers and to measure if the gene modified cells survive in patients' blood. Objective: To study the safety and effects of giving CD19/CD22-CAR T cells to children and young adults with B-cell cancer. Eligibility: People ages 3-39 with certain cancers that have not been cured by standard therapy. Their cancer tissue must express the CD19 protein. Design: A sample of participants blood or bone marrow will be sent to National Institutes of Health (NIH) and tested for leukemia. Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Urine and blood tests (including for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Heart and eye tests Neurologic assessment and symptom checklist. Scans, bone marrow biopsy, and/or spinal tap Some participants will have lung tests. Participants will repeat these tests throughout the study and follow-up. Participants will have leukapheresis. Blood will be drawn from a plastic tube (intravenous (IV) or needle in one arm then go through a machine that removes lymphocytes. The remaining blood will be returned to the participant's other arm. Participants will stay in the hospital about 2 weeks. There they will get: Two chemotherapy drugs by IV Their changed cells by IV Standard drugs for side effects Participants will have frequent follow-up visits for 1 year, then 5 visits for the next 4 years. Then they will answer questions and have blood tests every year for 15 years. ...
