MB-dNPM1-TCR.1 in Relapsed/Refractory AML
brief summary
The goal of this Phase I/II, single arm, prospective, open label, dose escalation trial is to assess safety, feasibility and efficacy of ex vivo expanded autologous T cells genetically modified to express a T cell receptor (TCR) specific for dNPM1 peptides restricted to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) A\*02:01 in patients with relapsed or refractory AML.
detailed description
The investigational medicinal product (IMP) MB-dNPM1-TCR.1 is designed to effectively target malignant myeloid cells in patients suffering from relapsed or refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) with mutated Nucleophosmin. Autologous T cells will be genetically engineered using a lentiviral vector to express a T cell receptor (TCR) specific for certain dNPM1 peptides restricted to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) A\*02:01. The dNPM1-TCR transduced T cells target specifically the HLA/dNPM1 peptide complex on the cell surface of leukemic myeloid cells and eliminate these. During the treatment, the patients will undergo a leukapheresis, a lymphodepleting chemotherapy and an administration of the expanded dNPM1-TCR transduced T cells.
Phase I: Since this is a first in human trial the primary goal in phase I is to establish the recommended dose of MB-dNPM1-TCR.1 for phase II. We assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) with toxicity defined as patients experiencing dose limiting toxicity (DLT) until day 28 after infusion of MB-dNPM1-TCR.1. Therefore a BOIN trial design will be used to guide dose escalation and de-escalation decisions in phase I.
Phase II: The second phase will evaluate the efficacy and safety in patients treated with the recommended dose from phase I. The phase II part follows a Simon's 'minimax' two stage design.
