Second Infusion of Tisagenlecleucel for Children and Young Adults with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL)
Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05460533
This study is exploring whether a second, early infusion of the treatment tisagenlecleucel can help maintain a condition called B-Cell Aplasia in children and young adults with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL). Researchers are also examining the safety and effectiveness of this early reinfusion.

Program Overview
The purpose of this study is to determine if giving a second, early infusion of tisagenlecleucel can help keep patients in a state called B-Cell Aplasia six months after their first treatment. The study will also look at how safe this early reinfusion is and how well it works in treating B-ALL.
Description
Before the first infusion of tisagenlecleucel, patients need to receive a specific type of chemotherapy called lymphodepleting chemotherapy (LDC). This involves standard doses of the drugs cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. The chemotherapy should be completed 2 to 14 days before the first tisagenlecleucel infusion. If the infusion is delayed by more than 4 weeks, the chemotherapy may need to be repeated. However, no additional chemotherapy will be given before the early reinfusion of tisagenlecleucel.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Patients with relapsed or refractory B-ALL who have already received tisagenlecleucel and have more doses available for early reinfusion.
- History of CD19 positive B-ALL before receiving tisagenlecleucel.
- B-Cell Aplasia (BCA) in the blood within 14 days before reinfusion, defined as a B lymphocyte count of 50 or fewer per microliter.
- Complete remission of the disease in the bone marrow within 14 days before reinfusion, including no disease outside the bone marrow.
- Patients with tisagenlecleucel that is out of specification (OOS) can participate if the OOS reason does not affect the treatment's safety and effectiveness.
- Patients must be under 26 years old at the time of the first tisagenlecleucel order.
- Recovery from severe side effects of the initial tisagenlecleucel dose, such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity.
- Adequate organ function, including liver, kidney, heart, and lung function, as determined by specific medical tests.
- Good overall health status, with specific performance scores based on age.
- Enrollment in a related reporting protocol for immune effector cells.
- Willingness to participate in the study, with informed consent signed by the patient or legal guardian, and assent from patients aged 7 to 17.
Exclusion Criteria
- More than 60 days have passed since the first tisagenlecleucel infusion.
- Ongoing severe side effects from the initial CAR T cell infusion.
- Received non-standard chemotherapy before the first tisagenlecleucel dose.
- Loss of B-Cell Aplasia before reinfusion.
- Active, significant infection confirmed by medical tests.
- Inability to give informed consent or follow the treatment plan.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or women who can become pregnant unless using effective birth control during and after treatment.
- Sexually active males unless willing to use a condom during and after treatment.
- Other uncontrolled illnesses or conditions that could interfere with the study or pose a risk to the patient.
- Any other reason deemed by the doctor to make the patient ineligible for the study.
