About this trial
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, to establish the recommended dose, and to evaluate the antitumor effect of CD7-CART01 in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LL).
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients in 1st or subsequent relapse, after at least one standard frontline chemotherapy with BM involvement (MRD >1% in 2 consecutive determinations or evidence of morphological relapse, i.e. >5% blasts in BM);
Relapse after allogeneic HSCT, if at least 100 days post-transplant, if there is no evidence of active GVHD and if the patient is no longer taking immunosuppressive agents for at least 30 days prior to enrollment;
CNS disease as defined as > 5 WBCs/mcL in CSF with morphological/flow-cytometry evidence of blasts or biopsy proven recurrence in the eye or brain;
Extramedullary relapse as defined by morphological evidence of blasts in the testis or any other extramedullary sites;
Disqualifiers
Severe, uncontrolled active intercurrent infections.
HIV, or active HCV and/or HBV infection.
Blast contamination in peripheral blood >5%, by flow-cytometry, at the time of leukapheresis collection.
Systemic steroids (at a dose equivalent to or greater than 2 mg/kg prednisone) in the 2 weeks before apheresis collection. Recent or current use of inhaled/topical/non-absorbable steroids is not exclusionary
