A Phase II, Single Arm, Multicenter Trial to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of CTL019 in Pediatric Patients With Relapsed and Refractory B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

This is a single arm, open-label, multi-center, phase II study to determine the efficacy and
safety of an experimental therapy called CTL019 T-cells in pediatric patients with B-cell
acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who are refractory to standard chemotherapy regimen or relapsed
after allogeneic stem cell transplant


Inclusion Criteria:

- Relapsed or refractory pediatric B-cell ALL and lymphoblastic lymphoma:

2. Any BM relapse after allogeneic SCT and must be > 6 months from SCT at the time
of CTL019 infusion OR

chemotherapy regimen chemotherapy regimen or chemorefractory as defined by not
achieving a CR after 1 cycle of standard chemotherapy for relapse leukemia OR

intolerant to or have failed 2 lines of tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy (TKI),
or if TKI therapy is contraindicated OR

product will not be shipped to or assessed for acceptance by the manufacturing site
until documented confirmation of all other eligibility criteria is received.

- Patients with active CNS leukemia involvement defined as CNS-3 by CSF findings only
are eligible but will have their CTL019 infusion delayed until CNS disease is reduced
to CNS-1 or CNS-2 by CSF findings. Patients with other forms of active CNS-3 leukemic
involvement such as CNS parenchymal or ocular disease, cranial nerve involvement or
significant leptomeningeal disease are not eligible. However, such patients with other
forms of CNS-3 leukemic involvement (non-CSF involvement) are eligible if there is
documented evidence of disease stabilization for at least 3 months prior to CTL019
infusion. Patients must have no acute/ongoing neurologic toxicity > Grade 1 with the
exception of a history of controlled seizures or fixed neurologic deficits that have
been stable/improving over the past 3 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Isolated extra-medullary disease relapse

- Patients with concomitant genetic syndrome: such as patients with Fanconi anemia,
Kostmann syndrome, Shwachman syndrome or any other known bone marrow failure syndrome.
Patients with Down Syndrome will not be excluded.

- Patients with Burkitt's lymphoma/leukemia (i.e. patients with mature B-cell ALL,
leukemia with B-cell [surface Immunoglobulin (sIg) positive and kappa or lambda
restricted positivity] ALL, with FAB L3 morphology and /or a MYC translocation)

- Prior malignancy, except carcinoma in situ of the skin or cervix treated with curative
intent and with no evidence of active disease

- Prior treatment with gene therapy product

- Patient has participated in an investigational research study using an investigational
agent within the last 30 days prior to screening

- Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women. NOTE: female study participants of reproductive
potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test performed within 48 hours
before infusion

- Active or latent hepatitis B or active hepatitis C (test within 8 weeks of screening),
or any uncontrolled infection at screening

- HIV positive test within 8 weeks of screening

- The following medications are excluded:

1. Steroids: Therapeutic systemic doses of steroids must be stopped > 72 hours prior
to CTL019 infusion. However, the following physiological replacement doses of
steroids are allowed: < 12 mg/m2/day hydrocortisone or equivalent

2. Allogeneic cellular therapy: Any donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) must be
completed > 6 weeks prior to CTL019 infusion

3. GVHD therapies: Any systemic drug used for GVHD must be stopped > 4 weeks prior
to CTL019 infusion to confirm that GVHD recurrence is not observed (e.g.
calcineurin inhibitors, methotrexate or other chemotherapy drugs, mycophenolate,
rapamycin, thalidomide, or immunosuppressive antibodies such as anti-CD20
(rituximab), anti-tumor necrosis factor [anti-TNF], anti-interleukin 6 [anti-IL6]
or anti-interleukin 6 receptor [anti-IL6R], systemic steroids)

4. Chemotherapy:

- Tyrosine kinase inhibitors and hydroxyurea must be stopped > 72 hours prior to CTL019
infusion

- The following drugs must be stopped > 1 week prior to CTL019 infusion and should not
be administered concomitantly or following lymphodepleting chemotherapy: vincristine,
6-mercaptopurine, 6-thioguanine, methotrexate < 25 mg/m2, cytosine arabinoside < 100

cyclophosphamide, methotrexate ≥ 25 mg/m2), excluding the required lymphodepleting
chemotherapy drugs

- Pegylated-asparaginase must be stopped > 4 weeks prior to CTL019 infusion e. CNS
disease prophylaxis:

- CNS prophylaxis treatment must be stopped > 1 week prior to CTL019 infusion (e.g.

- Non-CNS site of radiation must be completed > 2 weeks prior to CTL019 infusion

- CNS directed radiation must be completed > 8 weeks prior to CTL019 infusion g. Anti
T-cell Antibodies: Administration of any T cell lytic or toxic antibody (e.g.
alemtuzumab) within 8 weeks prior to CTL019 is prohibited since residual lytic levels
may destroy the infused CTL019 cells and/or prevent their in vivo expansion. If such
an agent has been administered within 8 weeks prior to CTL019, contact the Sponsor,
consider consultation with an pharmacology expert, and consider measuring residual
drug levels, if feasible, prior to CTL019 infusion Women of child-bearing potential
(defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant) and all male
participants, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception for a
period of 1 year after the CTL019 infusion. Highly effective contraception methods
include:

1. Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of
the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal,
post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are NOT acceptable methods of
contraception

2. Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without
hysterectomy), total hysterectomy, or tubal ligation at least six weeks before
taking study treatment. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive
status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment

3. Male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to screening). For female patients on
the study the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that
patient

4. Use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or other
forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate <1%),
for example hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormone contraception

5. Use of IUDs are excluded due to increased risks of infection and bleeding in this
population. However, IUD inserted prior to consent may remain in place, and a
second method of contraception is mandated

6. In case of use of oral contraception, women must be stable on the same pill for a
minimum of 3 months before taking study treatment.

Women who are not of reproductive potential (defined as either <11 years of age, Tanner
Stage 1, post-menopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e. have had no menses) or
have undergone hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and/or bilateral oophorectomy) are
eligible without requiring the use of contraception. Women who are not yet of reproductive
potential are to agree to use acceptable forms of contraception when they reach
reproductive potential if within 1 year of CTL019 or if CAR cells are present in the blood
by PCR. Acceptable documentation includes written or oral documentation communicated by
clinician or clinician's staff of one of the following:

1. Demographics show age < 11

2. Physical examination indicates Tanner Stage 1

3. Physician report/letter

4. Operative report or other source documentation in the patient record

5. Discharge summary

6. Follicle stimulating hormone measurement elevated into the menopausal range
