Design outcomes

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine the safety, efficacy and feasibility of Nivolumab (Opdivo®)- an anti-PD1 treatment- combined to Tisagenlecleucel in a cohort of relapsed or refractory B-ALL patients, aged 1-25 years old, previously treated by Tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah®), with a demonstrated early loss of B-cell aplasia (within 6 months), a surrogate marker of the loss of CAR T-cells or their non- functionality. More specifically, the main objectives are: •In cohort 1 that includes patients with a MRD negative disease status combined to an early loss (within 6 months) of B-cell aplasia To determine the optimal starting time of Nivolumab (Opdivo®) in terms of safety and efficacy among 4 candidate time points (day 14, day 11, day 5, and day - 1). •In cohort 2 that includes relapsed patients with an early loss (within 6 months) of B-cell aplasia To estimate the feasibility in terms of safety and efficacy of a very early start of Nivolumab (day-1), prior to the reinfusion of Tisagenlecleucel;Secondary Objective: To assess the effect of these combined treatments on •Incidence of B cell aplasia at 6 months •Increase of B cell aplasia duration compared to the previous one observed after the first infusion of tisagenlecleucel. •Disease best response •Complete remission (at M1 M3 M6 M12 after reinfusion) •Minimal residual disease (at M1 M3 M6 M12 after reinfusion) •1-year and 2-year OS •1-year and 2-year EFS •Incidence of Grade 3 or 4 immune related adverse events (gut, liver, lung, endocrine) i.e. linked to Nivolumab treatment •Incidence of Grade 3 or 4 of other related adverse events related to Nivolumab use such as pneumonitis, stomatitis, rash, or hematologic toxicity. •Incidence of Grade 3 or 4 reinfusion of Tisagenlecleucel -related events, in particular -cytokine release syndrome -Immune Effector Cells Associated Neurologic Events (ICANs) -prolonged cytopenias •Incidence of acute and chronic GVHD To explore the PD1 PDL1 axis and its correlation with success or failure ; | — |
