Summary

This trial tests JCAR017, a therapy using modified immune cells, in adults with hard-to-treat CLL or SLL. It aims to see if these enhanced immune cells can better fight the cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults with relapsed or refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) who have failed multiple prior therapies can join. Participants must have adequate organ and bone marrow function, not be pregnant, and cannot have active infections like hepatitis B/C or HIV.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing JCAR017 alone or in combination with either ibrutinib or venetoclax to treat CLL/SLL. It's a multi-phase study starting with finding the right dose of JCAR017 before moving on to test its effectiveness and safety at that dose.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to gene therapy, infection risks due to weakened immune system, liver problems, kidney issues, breathing difficulties, heart complications from chemotherapy drugs used alongside JCAR017.

Trial Design

5Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Phase 2 JCAR017 monotherapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will receive JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel) at the recommended dose from the Phase 1 monotherapy arm
Group II: Phase 2 JCAR017 Double-Exposed Monotherapy Expansion (DEME)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will receive JCAR017 monotherapy
Group III: Phase 1 JCAR017 monotherapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will be assigned to receive JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel)
Group IV: Phase 1 JCAR017 + venetoclaxExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects will receive venetoclax as bridging anticancer therapy until lymphodepletion chemotherapy/ JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel) at the recommended dose from the Phase 1 monotherapy arm. After JCAR017 infusion subjects will receive venetoclax until Day 90.
Group V: Phase 1 JCAR017 + ibrutinibExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects receiving ibrutinib at baseline will be assigned to receive JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel) at the recommended dose from the Phase 1 monotherapy arm + ibrutinib

Other Research
Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a cutting-edge treatment for lymphoma that involves modifying a patient's own T-cells to express receptors specific to cancer cells. These engineered T-cells are then infused back into the patient, where they can recognize and attack lymphoma cells. This therapy is significant for lymphoma patients because it offers a targeted approach that can lead to durable remissions, especially in cases where the disease is refractory or has relapsed after conventional treatments. The ability of CAR T-cells to specifically target and destroy cancer cells while sparing normal cells represents a major advancement in lymphoma treatment.
