Study Description

Brief summary:

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter study to determine the efficacy and safety of JCAR017 in adult subjects with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL. The study will include a Phase 1 part to determine the recommended dose of JCAR017 monotherapy in subjects with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL, followed by a Phase 2 part to further assess the efficacy and safety of JCAR017 monotherapy treatment at the recommended dose. A separate Phase 1 cohort will assess the combination of JCAR017 and concurrent ibrutinib. Another separate Phase 1 cohort will assess the combination of JCAR017 and concurrent venetoclax. In all subjects, the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of JCAR017 will be evaluated.

Arms and interventions

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Phase 1 JCAR017 + venetoclax
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.		 Biological: JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel)
Participants will undergo leukapheresis to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for the production of JCAR017. During JCAR017 production, participants will receive venetoclax as bridging anticancer therapy on a weekly ramp up dosing schedule until stopping one day prior to lymphodepletion. Treatment will include lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by one dose of JCAR017 administered by intravenous (IV) injection, and the day after infusion venetoclax will be re-initiated.

Biological: JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel) + venetoclax

During JCAR017 production, participants will receive venetoclax as bridging anticancer therapy on a weekly ramp up dosing schedule until stopping one day prior to lymphodepletion. Treatment will include lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by one dose of JCAR017 administered by intravenous (IV) injection, and the day after infusion venetoclax will be re-initiated.

Participants will undergo leukapheresis to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for the production of JCAR017. During JCAR017 production, participants will receive venetoclax as bridging anticancer therapy on a weekly ramp up dosing schedule until stopping one day prior to lymphodepletion. Treatment will include lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by one dose of JCAR017 administered by intravenous (IV) injection, and the day after infusion venetoclax will be re-initiated.
Experimental: Phase 2 JCAR017 monotherapy
Subjects will receive JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel) at the recommended dose from the Phase 1 monotherapy arm		 Biological: JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel)
Participants will undergo leukapheresis to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for the production of JCAR017. During JCAR017 production, participants will receive venetoclax as bridging anticancer therapy on a weekly ramp up dosing schedule until stopping one day prior to lymphodepletion. Treatment will include lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by one dose of JCAR017 administered by intravenous (IV) injection, and the day after infusion venetoclax will be re-initiated.
Experimental: Phase 1 JCAR017 + ibrutinib
Subjects receiving ibrutinib at baseline will be assigned to receive JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel) at the recommended dose + ibrutinib		 Biological: JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel) + ibrutinib
Participants eligible for this cohort should be receiving ibrutinib at the time of screening. For participants who previously discontinued ibrutinib, ibrutinib will be started as soon as possible after eligibility is confirmed. Ibrutinib treatment will continue for up to 90 days after JCAR017 infusion (or longer for participants who are receiving benefit from ibrutinib). Participants will undergo leukapheresis to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for the production of JCAR017. During JCAR017 production, participants may receive bridging chemotherapy for disease control. Upon successful generation of JCAR017 product, participants will receive treatment with JCAR017 therapy. Each cycle will include lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by one dose of JCAR017 administered by intravenous (IV) injection.
