Acute Biphenotypic Leukemia Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Blasts 5 Percent or More of Bone Marrow Nucleated Cells CD19 Positive Minimal Residual Disease Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma Stage III Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Stage IV Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia | Drug: Cyclophosphamide Drug: Fludarabine Phosphate Other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis Biological: Tisagenlecleucel | Phase 1 |
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose of genetically modified, CD19-specific T cells administered into patients with CD19+ advanced lymphoid malignancies.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To screen for the development of host immune responses against the CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR).
II. To describe the homing ability of the infused T cells. III. To assess disease response. IV. To determine persistence of CAR+ T cells.
OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of CD19 positive chimeric antigen receptor T-cells.
LYMPHODEPLETING CHEMOTHERAPY: Patients may receive standard chemotherapy comprised of fludarabine phosphate intravenously (IV) over 1 hour and cyclophosphamide IV over 3 hours on days -5 to -3 or cyclophosphamide IV every 12 hours on days -5 to -3 at the discretion of the treating physician.
Within 30 days post completion of lymphodepletion, patients receive CD19 positive chimeric antigen receptor T-cells IV over 15-30 minutes on day 0, or split into two portions on days 0 and 1.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for at least 15 years.

- Maximum tolerated dose of genetically modified, CD19-specified T cells [ Time Frame: Up to 30 days ]Will be defined as the highest dose for which the posterior probability of toxicity is closest to 25%. Demographic and clinical characteristics will be summarized using descriptive statistics by dose level. The number of patients with dose limiting toxicities will be reported at each dose level.
- The proportion of patients for which a T cell product could not be prepared [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Computed with a corresponding 95% confidence interval.
- Proportion of patients experiencing response (complete response and partial response) [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Estimated with a corresponding 95% confidence interval.
