- Brief Summary
Phase I: - To evaluate the safety of TranspoCART19 cell infusion in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma.
- To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose of TranspoCART19 cells in patients with relapsed or refractory
B-cell lymphoma.
Pase II: - To evaluate the efficacy of TranspoCART19 cell infusion in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma.
- Detailed Description
This clinical trial is a Phase I/II, pilot, open-label, national, prospective, multicentre, non-randomised, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TranspoCART19 in patients with relapsed/refractory B-lymphoma whose prognosis is less than 2 years.
Phase I: Dose escalation phase with a classic 3+3 design, in which three dose levels of TranspoCART19 will be evaluated: 1 x 106 cells/kg, 3 x106 cells/kg and 5 x 106 cells/kg. The maximum number of patients included in this phase will be 18.
Phase II: an expansion cohort with the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) determined in Phase I.
Patients will be included in the expansion cohort up to a total of 27, including Phase I patients.

Patients diagnosed with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma who meet the following conditions: • Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with relapsed or refractory disease after at least 2 lines of systemic therapy and non-candidate or relapsed after autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Includes follicular lymphoma grade 3b and lymphomas transformed from any indolent entity, primary mediastinal lymphoma and high-grade B lymphoma (double/triple Hit and high-grade lymphoma NOS). • Primary diffuse diffuse large B-cell CNS lymphoma refractory or relapsed after 1 or more lines of systemic therapy including a high-dose methotrexate regimen. • Refractory mantle cell lymphoma with disease or relapsed after at least one line of treatment (including an anthracycline or bendamustine based regimen, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and BTKi treatment: ibrutinib, acalabrutinib...). • Follicular lymphoma (grades 1, 2 or 3a) histologically confirmed in the 6 months prior to screening (and after the last line of treatment received), refractory or relapsed, who have received at least 2 systemic treatment regimens (one of them including an antiCD20 such as rituximab, obinutuzumab). Post-transplant relapsed patients and patients with follicular lymphoma after one line of if they are POD24 or meet GELF criteria for treatment (see Annex II) may be included. • Marginal lymphoma, including splenic, nodal and MALT, histologically confirmed within 6 months prior to screening (and after the last line of treatment), refractory or relapsed, having received at least 2 systemic treatment regimens (one of them including an antiCD20 rituximab, obinutuzumab and an alkylating agent, or relapsed after autologous transplantation.
Age over 18 years and under 80 years.
Functional status ECOG 0-1. Patients with ECOG 2 may be included if motivated by haematological disease (Protocol Annex III).
Adequate bone marrow haematopoietic reserve.
Life expectancy of at least 2 months.
Adequate venous access for lymphapheresis. Absence of contraindications for the procedure.
Signature of informed consent (patient or legal guardian).
Patients who may benefit from other approved therapeutic options.
Severe organ impairment, defined as cardiac ejection fraction <40%; DLCO <40%; calculated glomerular filtration rate <30 ml/min; baseline O2 saturation <92%; bilirubin > 2 times upper limit of normal (unless due to Gilbert's syndrome) or transaminases > 2.5 upper limit of normal.
Pregnant or lactating women. Women of childbearing age should have a negative pregnancy test in the screening phase.
Women of childbearing age, including those whose last menstrual cycle was in the year prior to screening, who are unable or unwilling to use highly effective contraception from the start of the study until the end of the study.
Men who are unable or unwilling to use highly effective methods of contraception from the start of the study until the end of the study.
Need to take chronic glucocorticoids in doses higher than 10 mg/day of prednisone (or equivalent) or other chronic immunosuppressants.
Previously received CAR-T antiCD19 therapy. Previous treatment with other antiCD19 strategies is allowed, provided that CD19 expression has been confirmed in the tumour biopsy.
Treatment with any experimental or non-marketed substance in the four weeks prior to recruitment, or actively participating in another therapeutic clinical trial.
Diagnosis of another neoplasm, past or present. Patients in complete remission for more than 3 years, or with a history of non-melanoma skin cancer or completely resected carcinoma in situ may be included.
Early relapse after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (less than 3 months for lymphapheresis, less than 6 months for TranspoCART19 infusion) or patients on active immunosuppressive treatment for graft-versus-host disease (corticosteroids or other systemic immunosuppressants).
Active infection requiring systemic medical treatment.
HIV infection.
Concurrent and uncontrolled medical illnesses including cardiac, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, pulmonary, neurological or psychiatric illnesses that in the opinion of the investigator pose a risk to the patient.
Positive serology for hepatitis B, defined as a positive test for HBsAg. In addition, if the patient is HBsAg negative but has anti-HBc antibodies, a hepatitis B virus DNA test will be required, and if the result is positive, the patient will be excluded.
