Brief Summary

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

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of anti-CD19/20/22 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells (TriCAR19.20.22 T cells) and how well they work in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein, such as CD19, CD20 and CD22, on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a CAR. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving TriCAR19.20.22 T cells may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma, ALL and CLL.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of TriCAR19.20.22 T cells. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts.

COHORT A: Patients undergo apheresis between days -30 and -7 or days -9 and -7. Patients receive lymphodepletion chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) on day -6, fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -5 to -3. Patients then receive TriCAR19.20.22 T cells IV over 5-30 minutes on day 0. Patients also undergo echocardiography or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) at baseline and blood sample collection and bone marrow biopsy and aspiration throughout the study. Additionally, patients undergo positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) as clinically indicated throughout the study.

COHORT B: Patients undergo apheresis between days -30 and -7 or days -9 and -7. Patients receive lymphodepletion chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide IV on day -6, fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -5 to -3 and TriCAR19.20.22 T cells IV over 5-30 minutes on days 0 and 7. Patients also undergo echocardiography or MUGA at baseline and blood sample collection and bone marrow biopsy and aspiration throughout the study. Additionally, patients undergo PET/CT as clinically indicated throughout the study.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for up at 7, 14, 21, 30, 60, and 90 days, at 6 and 12 months, then yearly for up to year 15.

* A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarcheal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (\< 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus)
* Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of \< 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptive s that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices. The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception
* For men: Agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive measures, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm, as defined below:

* With female partners of childbearing potential, men must remain abstinent or use a condom plus an additional contraceptive method that together result in a failure rate of \< 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the TriCAR19.20.22 T cell infusion. Men must refrain from donating sperm during this same period
* With pregnant female partners, men must remain abstinent or use a condom during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the TriCAR19.20.22 T cell infusion to avoid potential embryonal or fetal exposure. The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception

Exclusion Criteria

* Autologous transplant within 6 weeks of planned CAR-T cell infusion
* Allogeneic stem cell transplant or donor lymphocyte infusion within 2 months of planned CAR-T cell infusion and patients must be off immunosuppressive agents
* Subjects with live vaccines given 28 days prior to lymphodepleting (LD) chemotherapy will be excluded
* Active graft versus host disease
* Active central nervous system or meningeal involvement by lymphoma or leukemia
* Subjects with untreated brain metastases/central nervous system (CNS) disease will be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events. Subjects with a history of CNS or meningeal involvement must be in a documented remission by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) evaluation and contrast- enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging for at least 90 days prior to registration
* Active malignancy, other than non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ (e.g. cervix, bladder, breast). Subjects with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial (e.g. low Gleason score prostate cancer)
* A minimum of 28 days must have elapsed between prior treatment with investigational agent(s) and the day of lymphocyte collection
* HIV-seropositive patients are allowable, however must be on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months of enrollment to be eligible for this trial
* Subjects with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, pulmonary abnormalities or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
* Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded from this study because CAR-T cell therapy may be associated with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test. Because there is an unknown, but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with CAR-T cells, breastfeeding should be discontinued. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study
* Evidence of myelodysplasia or cytogenetic abnormality indicative of myelodysplasia on any bone marrow biopsy prior to initiation of therapy
* Subjects with a positive hepatitis B core antibody or surface antigen are at high risk for hepatitis B virus (HBV) reaction and will require entecavir/tenofivir prophylaxis or serial hepatitis B (Hep) B polymerase chain reaction (PCR) monitoring at the direction of an infectious disease specialist. Duration of prophylaxis to correspond with detection of TriCAR19.20.22 T cells/viral vector copies in serum or continued evidence of B-cell aplasia such as reduced intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) levels. No antiviral prophylaxis is indicated with hepatitis C positivity with negative PCR
* Subjects with history of clinically relevant CNS pathology such as epilepsy, seizure disorders, paresis, aphasia, uncontrolled cerebrovascular disease, severe brain injuries, dementia and Parkinson's disease
* History of autoimmune disease (i.e. rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus) with requirement of immunosuppressive medication within 6 months
