CD5-deleted Chimeric Antigen Receptor Cells (Senza5 CART5) for T Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)

This is an open-label phase I study to determine the safety and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of Senza5 CART5 cells in patients with relapsed or refractory CD5 positive nodal T cell NHL. RP2D will be based on the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of Senza5 CART5 cells. This trial will evaluate up to 5 dose levels using the Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design enrolling 3 patients in each cohort to assess safety and achieve therapeutic levels so that the RP2D of Senza5 CART5 cells given as a single IV infusion can be determined.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed relapsed or refractory (r/r) CD5-positive nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma (such as peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), nodal T-cell lymphomas with T-follicular helper (TFH) phenotype, including follicular T cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic lymphoma, or anaplastic large cell lymphoma) or other non-leukemic CD5+ aggressive mature T cell lymphomas (such as enteropathy-associated T cell lymphoma, monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T cell lymphoma, transformed mycosis fungoides, primary cutaneous aggressive epidermotropic CD8+ cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma, primary cutaneous insert gamma delta symbols lymphoma, or subcutaneous panniculitis like T cell lymphoma).
  • ≥50% expression of CD5 on flow cytometry or IHC on malignant cells on the most recent biopsy
  • Must have received at least one line of prior systemic therapy for their lymphoma; participants with anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) must have received prior brentuximab unless there was a contraindication to brentuximab.
  • Evaluable disease defined by at least one lesion that can be measured in least 1 dimension and measures at least 1.5 cm in its longest dimension by CT or PET scan, or bone/bone marrow involvement, or skin involvement.
  • No circulating CD5+ malignant cells identified by peripheral blood flow cytometry must be present.

Exclusion criteria

  • Pregnant or lactating (nursing) women.
  • HIV infection.
  • Concurrent use of systemic steroids or immunosuppressant medications.
  • Any uncontrolled active medical disorder that would preclude participation as outlined.
  • History of immunodeficiency.
  • History of prior chimeric antigen receptor therapy (CAR T), autologous or syngeneic HCT <100 days from transplant at the time of cell infusion or previous allo-HCT.
  • Active and/or systemic inflammatory or autoimmune diseases.
  • Signs or symptoms indicative of active CNS involvement.
  • Known history or prior diagnosis of optic neuritis or other immunologic or inflammatory disease affecting the central nervous system, and unrelated to lymphoma or previous lymphoma treatment.
  • Clinically apparent arrhythmia, or arrhythmias that are not stable on medical management
  • Current participation in or prior participation in a study of an investigational agent or using an investigational device within 2 weeks of the first dose of treatment.
  • Prior monoclonal antibody therapy within 4 weeks prior to study Day 1
  • Prior use of alemtuzumab
  • Prior chemotherapy targeted small molecule therapy, or radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to study Day 1
  • Uncontrolled active infection requiring systemic therapy.
  • Circulating CD5+ malignant cells identified by peripheral blood flow cytometry present.
  • Active and/or systemic inflammatory or autoimmune diseases.

Treatment and study plan

Senza5 CART5

Drug

The Senza5 CART5 drug product consists of a dual population of engineered autologous T cells: CD5 knockout (KO)cells and CD5KO-CART5 cells

Primary outcomes

  1. Determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of Senza5 CART5 cells

    Time frame: 12 months

    Measure the occurrence of Dose Limiting Toxicity events of each dose level per arm

Secondary outcomes

  1. Determine the safety of Senza5 CART5 cells

    Time frame: 12 months

    Quantify quantifying the type and frequency of adverse events

  2. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)

    Time frame: 12 months

    Quantify the safety and tolerability of the highest dose

  3. Determine the manufacturing feasibility of Senza5 CART5

    Time frame: 12 months

    Quantify the number of product release failures and occurrence of dose failures (inability to meet targeted dose)

  4. Determine efficacy of Senza5 CART5

    Time frame: 12 months

    Measure the objective response rate

  5. Determine efficacy of Senza5 CART5

    Time frame: 12 months

    Measure the complete response rate

  6. Determine efficacy of Senza5 CART5

    Time frame: 12 months

    Measure the best overall response

  7. Determine efficacy of Senza5 CART5

    Time frame: 12 months
