Inclusion Criteria
- •Subjects must meet all of the following criteria to be enrolled in this study:
- •Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent
- •Signed written informed consent obtained prior to any study procedures
- •Relapsed or refractory B-cell NHL.
- •PET-positive disease BY Lugano classification
- •Archived tumor biopsy tissue available from the last relapse and corresponding pathology report available or, if at least one tumor-involved site is deemed accessible at time of screening, willing to undergo pre-treatment biopsy (excisional when possible) for disease confirmation. If a subject has never had a complete response, a sample from the most recent biopsy is acceptable.
- •Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or
- •Adequate bone marrow, renal, hepatic, pulmonary and cardiac function
- •Adequate vascular access for leukapheresis procedure
- •Subjects who have received previous CD19-targeted therapy must have CD19-positive lymphoma confirmed on a biopsy since completing the prior CD19-targeted therapy
- •Subjects must agree to use appropriate contraception.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Subjects who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
- •Subjects with central nervous system (CNS)-only involvement by malignancy (note: subjects with secondary CNS involvement are allowed on study)
- •History of another primary malignancy that has not been in remission for at least 2 years.
- •Treatment with alemtuzumab within 6 months of leukapheresis, or treatment with fludarabine or cladribine within 3 months of leukapheresis
- •Active hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection at the time of screening
- •Subjects with uncontrolled systemic fungal, bacterial, viral or other infection despite appropriate antibiotics or other treatment at the time of leukapheresis or JWCAR029 administration
- •Presence of acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)
- •History of cardiovascular disease
- •History or presence of clinically relevant CNS pathology such as epilepsy, seizure, paresis, aphasia, stroke, severe brain injuries, dementia, Parkinson's disease, cerebellar disease, organic brain syndrome, or psychosis
- •Pregnant or nursing women.
- •Prior CAR T-cell or other genetically-modified T-cell therapy, with the exception of prior JWCAR029 treatment in this protocol for subjects receiving retreatment
Arms & Interventions
JWCAR029
The safety and efficacy of JWCAR029 will be evaluated in a standard 3+3 dose escalation approach. 5 CAR T dosage will be tested in this study: 1×10^7, 2.5×10^7, 5×10^7, 1×10^8, 1.5^108 CAR+ T cells.
Intervention: JWCAR029 (Biological)
