2. 19-28z CAR T Cells in Relapsed/Refractory B-Cell ALL: Background
Autologous T cells modified to express CAR that targets B-cell antigen CD19
When infused back into pt, will target CD19-positive tumor cells and induce cell death
Phase I trial evaluated impact of preinfusion disease burden on long-term outcomes with CD19-targeted CAR T cells in adult pts with relapsed or refractory CD19-positive B-cell ALL[1]
This analysis examined the impact of disease burden at time of CAR T-cell infusion on clinical outcome and toxicity[2]
ALL, acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

4. 19-28z CAR T Cells in R/R B-Cell ALL: Dosing and Assessment
19-28z CAR T-cell infusion; dosing based on disease burden
3 x 109 CAR T cells/kg in pts with minimal disease (< 5% blasts in BM); n = 20 (39%)
Dose reduced to 1 x 109 CAR T cells/kg in pts with morphologic disease (≥ 5% blasts in BM or extramedullary disease); n = 31 (61%)
Disease assessment: Days 28-35
Median follow-up: 8.5 mos
≥ 6 mos: 58%
≥ 1 yr: 34%

6. 19-28z CAR T Cells in R/R B-Cell ALL: Clinical Response
Morphologic Disease
(n = 30)
Minimal Disease

CR, % 77 90
MRD-negative CR, %
90 (n = 21)

Mean time to CR, days (SD)
20 (9)
25 (9)
CR seen across analyzed subgroups, including disease burden, prior blinatumomab, prior HSCT, number of prior therapies, Philadelphia chromosome status, and age
39% of pts achieving CR proceeded to allogeneic HSCT (equal incidence in morphologic and minimal disease cohorts)
45% MRD-negative CR pts relapsed; 27% of these were CD19 positive
27% MRD-negative CR pts disease free for > 1 yr

9. 19-28z CAR T Cells in R/R B-Cell ALL: Conclusions
CR and MRD-negative CR rates > 75% regardless of pretherapy disease burden[1]
Durable responses and survival benefits in subset of patients without subsequent allogeneic HSCT (regardless of disease burden)
Benefit of allogeneic HSCT after 19-28z CAR T cells unclear
Lower incidence of severe CRS and neurologic toxicities in pts with minimal disease burden prior to pre–T-cell infusion
Single-arm phase II trial of 19-28z CAR T cells in R/R B-cell ALL ongoing (ROCKET)[2]
ALL, acute lymphoblastic leukemia; CR, complete remission; CRS, cytokine release syndrome; HSCT, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; MRD, minimal residual disease; R/R, relapsed/refractory.
