Study Details

Brief summary:

The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical benefit and characterize the safety profile of tabelecleucel for the treatment of Epstein-Barr virus-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (EBV+ PTLD) in the setting of (1) solid organ transplant (SOT) after failure of rituximab (SOT-R) and rituximab plus chemotherapy (SOT-R+C) or (2) allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) after failure of rituximab.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Sex: All

Age: 0+

Healthy Volunteers: Not accepted

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Prior SOT of kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas, small bowel, or any combination of these (C-SOT); or prior allogeneic HCT (C-HCT).
2. A diagnosis of locally assessed, biopsy-proven EBV+ PTLD.
3. Availability of appropriate partially HLA-matched and restricted tabelecleucel has been confirmed by the sponsor.
4. Measurable, 18F-deoxyglucose (FDG)-avid (Deauville score ≥ 3) systemic disease using Lugano Classification response criteria by positron emission tomography (PET)-diagnostic computed tomography (CT), except when contraindicated or mandated by local practice, then magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used. For participants with treated central nervous system (CNS) disease, a head CT and/or brain/spinal MRI as clinically appropriate will be required to follow CNS disease response per Lugano Classification response criteria.
5. Treatment failure of rituximab or interchangeable commercially available biosimilar monotherapy (C-SOT-R or C-HCT) or rituximab plus any concurrent or sequentially administered chemotherapy regimen (C-SOT-R+C) for treatment of PTLD.
6. Males and females of any age.
7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤ 3 for participants aged ≥ 16 years; Lansky score ≥ 20 for participants < 16 years.
8. For C-HCT only: If allogeneic HCT was performed as treatment for an acute lymphoid or myeloid malignancy, the underlying primary disease for which the participant underwent transplant must be in morphologic remission.
9. Adequate organ function.

1. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1000/μL, (C-SOT) or ≥ 500/μL (C-HCT), with or without cytokine support.
2. Platelet count ≥ 50,000/μL, with or without transfusion or cytokine support. For C-HCT, platelet count < 50,000/μL but ≥ 20,000/μL, with or without transfusion support, is permissible if the participant has not had grade ≥ 2 bleeding in the prior 4 weeks (where grading of the bleeding is determined per the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\], version 5.0).
3. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin each < 5 × the upper limit of normal; however, ALT, AST, and total bilirubin each ≤ 10 × upper limit of normal is acceptable if the elevation is considered by the investigator to be due to EBV and/or PTLD involvement of the liver as long as there is no known evidence of significant liver dysfunction.
10. Participant or participant's representative is willing and able to provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Currently active Burkitt, T-cell, NK/T-cell lymphoma/LPD, Hodgkin, plasmablastic, transformed lymphoma, active hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, or other malignancies requiring systemic therapy.
2. Daily steroids of > 0.5 mg/kg prednisone or glucocorticoid equivalent, ongoing methotrexate, or extracorporeal photopheresis.
3. Untreated CNS PTLD or CNS PTLD for which the participant is actively receiving CNS-directed chemotherapy (systemic or intrathecal) or radiotherapy at enrollment. NOTE: Participants with previously treated CNS PTLD may enroll if CNS-directed therapy is complete.
4. Suspected or confirmed grade ≥ 2 graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) per the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research consensus grading system at enrollment.
5. Ongoing or recent use of a checkpoint inhibitor agent (eg, ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, nivolumab) within 3 drug half-lives from the most recent dose to enrollment.
6. For C-HCT: active adenovirus viremia.
7. Need for vasopressor or ventilatory support.
8. Antithymocyte globulin or similar anti-T cell antibody therapy ≤ 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
9. Treatment with Epstein-Barr virus cytotoxic T lymphocytes or chimeric antigen receptor T cells directed against B cells within 8 weeks of enrollment (C-SOT or C-HCT), or unselected donor lymphocyte infusion within 8 weeks of enrollment (C-HCT only).
10. Female who is breastfeeding or pregnant or female of childbearing potential or male with a female partner of childbearing potential unwilling to use a highly effective method of contraception.
11. Inability to comply with study-related procedures.
12. Any medical condition or organ system dysfunction that in the investigator';s opinion, could compromise the participant's safety or ability to complete the study.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Cohort SOT-R (C-SOT-R)

Participants with EBV+ PTLD following SOT that has failed rituximab will receive IV tabelecleucel.

experimental: Cohort SOT-R+C (C-SOT-R+C)

Participants with EBV+ PTLD following SOT that has failed both rituximab and chemotherapy will receive IV tabelecleucel.

experimental: Cohort HCT (C-HCT)

Participants with EBV+ PTLD following HCT that has failed rituximab containing regimen will receive IV tabelecleucel.

Interventions

tabelecleucel

Tabelecleucel is being investigated as an off-the-shelf, allogeneic T-cell immunotherapy for the treatment of EBV+ malignancies and diseases.

Primary outcome measure

  • Objective Response Rate (ORR) in the Analysis Cohorts C-SOT, C-HCT, and Combined Population (C-SOT-R+C, C-SOT-R-Ci, and C-HCT) Who Received Commercial Product, or a Product Manufactured Using a Comparable PV [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
