Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This open-label Phase 1 study will evaluate the safety, PK, and antitumor activity of modified T cells (JCAR017) administered to adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell NHL. The dose and schedule of JCAR017 will be evaluated and modified, as needed, for safety and antitumor activity. We will also determine how long the modified T cells stay in the patient's body and how well JCAR017 works in treating patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma whose disease has come back or has not responded to treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an open-label, multicenter Phase 1 study to determine the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and antitumor activity of JCAR017 in adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL), follicular lymphoma Grade 3B, and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). This study will evaluate and refine the dose and schedule of JCAR017 to optimize safety and antitumor activity. A dose-confirmation group or groups will further evaluate the safety and efficacy of JCAR017 at the recommended regimen(s).

Upon successful generation of JCAR017 product, participants will receive treatment with one or more cycles of JCAR017 therapy. Each cycle will include lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by one or two doses of JCAR017 administered by intravenous (IV) injection.

The follow-up period for each participant is approximately 24 months after the final JCAR017 infusion. Long-term follow-up for survival, toxicity, and viral vector safety will continue under a separate long-term follow-up protocol per health regulatory authority guidelines, currently up to 15 years after the last JCAR017 infusion.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

JCAR017 1-dose schedule

Each cycle of JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel) will be administered as 1 intravenous (IV) injection

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel) single-dose schedule

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Participants will undergo leukapheresis to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for the production of JCAR017. During JCAR017 production, participants may receive low-dose chemotherapy for disease control. Upon successful generation of JCAR017 product, participants will receive treatment with JCAR017 therapy. Treatment will include lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by one dose of JCAR017 administered by intravenous (IV) injection.

JCAR017 2-dose schedule (no longer accruing)

Each cycle of JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel) will be administered as 2 intravenous (IV) injections

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel) 2-dose schedule

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Participants will undergo leukapheresis to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for the production of JCAR017. During JCAR017 production, participants may receive low-dose chemotherapy for disease control. Upon product availability, participants will receive study treatment consisting of lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by two IV doses of JCAR017.
