Summary

Background: B-cell leukemias and lymphomas are cancers that are often difficult to treat. The primary objective of this study is to determine the ability to take a patient's own cells (T lymphocytes) and grow them in the laboratory with the cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19/cluster of differentiation 22-chimeric antigen receptor (CD22-CAR) gene through a process called 'lentiviral transduction (also considered gene therapy) and growing them to large numbers to use as a treatment for hematologic cancers in children and young adults.. Researchers want to see if giving modified CD19/CD22-CAR T cells to people with these cancers can attack cancer cells. In addition, the safety of giving these gene modified cells to humans will be tested at different cell doses. Additional objectives are to determine if this therapy can cause regression of B cell cancers and to measure if the gene modified cells survive in patients' blood. Objective: To study the safety and effects of giving CD19/CD22-CAR T cells to children and young adults with B-cell cancer. Eligibility: People ages 3-39 with certain cancers that have not been cured by standard therapy. Their cancer tissue must express the CD19 protein. Design: A sample of participants blood or bone marrow will be sent to National Institutes of Health (NIH) and tested for leukemia. Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Urine and blood tests (including for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Heart and eye tests Neurologic assessment and symptom checklist. Scans, bone marrow biopsy, and/or spinal tap Some participants will have lung tests. Participants will repeat these tests throughout the study and follow-up. Participants will have leukapheresis. Blood will be drawn from a plastic tube (intravenous (IV) or needle in one arm then go through a machine that removes lymphocytes. The remaining blood will be returned to the participant's other arm. Participants will stay in the hospital about 2 weeks. There they will get: Two chemotherapy drugs by IV Their changed cells by IV Standard drugs for side effects Participants will have frequent follow-up visits for 1 year, then 5 visits for the next 4 years. Then they will answer questions and have blood tests every year for 15 years. ...

Eligibility Criteria

  • ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:

Study subjects with cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19) + cluster of differentiation 22 (CD22+) expressing B cell malignancies who have relapsed or are treatment refractory may enroll as defined by the following inclusion and exclusion criteria.

INCLUSION CRITERIA

  • Diagnosis
  • Participant must have a B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (inclusive of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with ALL transformation) or lymphoma and must have relapsed or refractory disease after at least one standard chemotherapy regimen and one salvage regimen. In view of the principal investigator (PI) and the primary oncologist, there must be no available alternative curative therapies and subjects must be either ineligible for allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT), have refused SCT, recurred after SCT, or have disease activity that prohibits SCT at the time of enrollment. Participants who have undergone autologous SCT will be eligible, and participants that have undergone allogeneic SCT will be eligible if, in addition to meeting other eligibility criteria, they have no evidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD) and have been without immunosuppressive agents for at least 30 days. Participants with Philadelphia chromosome + ALL must have failed prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
  • Participants must have measurable or evaluable disease at the time of enrollment, which may include any evidence of disease including minimal residual disease detected by flow cytometry, cytogenetics, or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. For those being considered for reinfusions, measurable or evaluable disease is not required at the time of reinfusion.
  • CD22/CD19 expression

--CD19 expression must be detected on greater than 15% of the malignant cells by immunohistochemistry or greater than 90% by flow cytometry. The choice of whether to use flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry will be determined by what is the most easily available tissue sample in each participant. In general, immunohistochemistry will be used for lymph node biopsies, flow cytometry will be used for peripheral blood and bone marrow samples. CD22+ B cell malignancy is required and CD22 expression levels will be documented when available, but a specific level of expression is not an eligibility requirement; it may be documented as positive or negative.

  • Age:

--Greater than or equal to 3 years of age (and at least 15 kg) and less than or equal to 39 years of age at time of enrollment (greater than or equal to 3 years to less than or equal to 39 years). NOTE: The first participant in each dose cohort must be greater than or equal to 18 years of age.

  • Clinical Performance

--Clinical performance status: Participants greater than or equal to 16 years of age: Karnofsky greater than or equal to 50%; Participants 3x ULN)

  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT)serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) less than or equal to 10 X institutional upper limit of normal
  • creatinine less than or equal to the maximum for age listed in the table below
  • Age (Years): less than or equal to 5. Maximum Serum Creatinine (mg/dL): less than or equal to 0.8
  • Age (Years): 6 to less than or equal to 10. Maximum Serum Creatinine (mg/dL): less than or equal to 1.0
  • Age (Years): >10. Maximum Serum Creatinine (mg/dL): less than or equal to 1.2
  • OR
  • creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for participants with creatinine levels above institutional normal.
  • if these cytopenias are not judged by the investigator to be due to underlying disease (i.e. potentially reversible with anti-neoplastic therapy); A subject will not be excluded because of pancytopenia greater than or equal to Grade 3 if it is due to disease, based on the results of bone marrow studies.
  • Subjects with central nervous system (CNS) disease are eligible, with exceptions as noted in the exclusion criteria
  • Contraceptio
