| CD19+ Acute Leukemia | Biological: Patient Derived CD19 specific CAR T cells also expressing an EGFRt | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Upon meeting the eligibility requirements and enrolling on study, subjects will undergo apheresis to obtain the T cells for the generation of the CD19 CAR+ T cells. In patients with a prior history of allogeneic HCT, the T cells obtained are of donor origin. The T cells are isolated from the apheresis product, the CD4 and CD8 T cells are then selected and grown separately, transduced with a lentivirus to express the CD19 CAR as well as a truncated EGFR that has no signaling capacity (noted EGFRt) and expanded in culture over a three week period. During the process of cell generation, subjects will continue to be cared for by their primary oncologist and may undergo additional treatment directed at the leukemia during this time.
After the CAR+ T cells have been generated, the subject undergoes a disease assessment and determination if lymphodepletion is necessary. A variety of lymphodepletion strategies are acceptable and determined on a case by case basis. At least 48 hours after the completion of lymphodepletion, the subject will receive and infusion of CAR+ T cells at an approximate 1:1 ratio of CD4 to CD8 CAR+ T cells.
Following treatment with the CAR+ T cells, subjects will be followed intensely for 2 months with serial blood testing and re-evaluation of disease status with bone marrow aspirates. After 2 months, the subjects clinical care will be resumed by their primary oncologist, and it is possible that they would receive additional chemotherapy or HCT.
Some subjects will receive cetuximab for ablation of the genetically modified T cells. Criteria to receive cetuximab include acute toxicities that are life threatening, as well as an ongoing remission with continued B cell aplasia.
Upon completion of the study, subjects will be followed bi-annually for 5 years, and then annually for 10 additional years with either a medical history, physical exam and blood tests or a phone call/questionnaire. This follow up will help to determine if the subject develops any long-term health problems related to the CAR+ T cells including a new cancer.

- Number of Participants With Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 30 days ]The safety of the T cell infusion will be described and the maximum tolerated dose determined
- Number of participants with an MRD negative complete remission after T cells infusion [ Time Frame: 63 days ]The efficacy fo the T cell infusion will be estimated based on the number of participants who have an MRD negative bone marrow aspirate following the T cell infusion
- Number of Participants who have a Releasable Cell Product Generated [ Time Frame: 28 days ]The feasibility of manufacturing and releasing T cell products from pediatric and young adult patients who relapse with CD19+ leukemia both before and after allo-HCT will be measured.
- Persistence of functional CD19 CAR+ T cells [ Time Frame: 63 days ]Participants will be followed for 63 days to determine if the transferred T cells remain detectable in the blood, bone marrow and CSF
- Number of participants with recrudescence or development of acute GVHD [ Time Frame: 63 days ]
- Number of participants who have T cells ablated with cetuximab [ Time Frame: 3 years ]The efficacy of cetuximab to ablate the T cells will be measured by loss of detection of T cells and any associated toxicities as well as facilitating B cell recovery.
