Brief summary
The purpose of the study was to assess the efficacy and safety of tisagenlecleucel in pediatric, adolescent and young adult patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r B-NHL) including Burkitt Lymphoma and Burkitt Leukemia. For pediatric patients who have r/r B-NHL including Burkitt Lymphoma and Burkitt Leukemia, survival rates are dismal, only \ 20-50% subjects are alive at 2 years with overall response rate (ORR) of 20-30% after conventional salvage chemotherapy.
Detailed description
This study was part of an agreed Pediatric Investigation Plan (PIP). The single-arm study design included r/r B-cell NHL including Burkitt Lymphoma and Burkitt Leukemia subject population with poor prognosis, lack of approved effective therapies in this setting. Subject population included aggressive subtypes of B-cell NHL including Burkitt Lymphoma and Burkitt Leukemia who were allowed to receive bridging therapy of investigator's choice. After assessment of eligibility, subjects qualifying for the study were enrolled and were allowed to start lymphodepleting chemotherapy as recommended in protocol after which a single dose of tisagenlecleucel product was infused. The efficacy of tisagenlecleucel was evaluated through the primary endpoint of Overall Response Rate (ORR) which included complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) as determined by local assessment. Safety assessments were conducted until study completion.
Interventions
Tisagenlecleucel was infused once as an intravenous infustion at a dose of either 0.2 to 5 x 106 CAR-positive viable T cells per kg body weight for subjects ≤ 50 kg or 0.1 to 2.5 x 108 CAR-positive viable T cells for subjects \> 50 kg.
Prior to tisagenlecleucel infusion, each subject underwent lymphodepletion with recommended Fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (unless contra-indicated for subject)
Pre-treatment phase could also include bridging therapy of investigator's choice
