A Phase 1 Safety Study of Adoptive Cellular Therapy Using Autologous T Cells Transduced With Lentivirus to Express a CD33 Specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory CD33-Positive Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Study Summary

Any time the words "you," "your," "I," or "me" appear, it is meant to apply to the potential participant. The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about the safety and tolerability of 3 different doses of CD33-CAR-T cells (referred to throughout the consent as "T-cells") in patients who have CD33-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that is relapsed (has come back) or refractory (has not responded to treatment). CD33-CAR-T is made by genetically modifying (changing) your T-cells (a type of white blood cell). T-cells are genetically changed to help target leukemia cells. This is an investigational study. CD33-CAR-T is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work. Up to 39 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

Interventions

LeukapheresisPROCEDURE
After enrollment, steady state leukapheresis performed to collect apheresis material. The goal is to achieve a target total nucleated cell (TNC) yield of at least 5 x 10\^9 (expected range 5 x 10\^8 - 5 x 10\^10), for up to two days.
FludarabineDRUG
25 mg/m2 administered by vein on Days -5 to -3.
CyclophosphamideDRUG
900 mg/m2 administered by vein on Day -3.
CD33-CAR-T Cell InfusionBIOLOGICAL
CD33-CAR-T cell infusion administered by vein on Day 0. First group of participants receive the lowest dose level. Each new group will receive a higher dose than the one before it, if no intolerable side effects were seen. This will continue until the highest tolerable dose of T-cells is found. Starting dose level is \> 1.5 x 105/kg but ≤ 4.5 x 105/kg.
