A Phase I Study of Donor BPX-501 T Cell Infusion for Adults With Recurrent or Minimal Residual Disease Hematologic Malignancies Post-Allogeneic Transplant

A Phase I study of BPX-501 T cell infusion in adults with recurrent or minimal residual
disease (MRD) hematologic malignancies post-allogeneic transplant. The treatment consists of
increasing doses of BPX-501 T cell infusions to achieve a clinical response. AP1903 will be
investigated for the treatment of aGvHD after BPX-501 T cell infusion to determine a dose
that can mitigate GvHD and preserve the graft versus leukemia effect.

Unmanipulated donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is used after stem cell transplantation to
treat and prevent relapse, to prevent infections and to establish full donor chimerism. The
addition of mature T cells which exhibit a broad repertoire of T cell immunity against viral
and cancer antigens, might provide a clinical benefit. However, an expected side effect of
the presence of mature T cells is the potential occurrence of acute graft-versus-host disease
(aGVHD). BPX-501 contains genetically modified donor T cells that have an inducible safety
switch iCasp9 suicide gene. Evidence has emerged that escalating DLI has achieved higher
clinical response rate with lower GVHD occurrence. Optimization of DLI dose and schedule as
well as strategies of donor T-cell manipulation may lead to the consistent ability to
separate GVHD from GvL (graft-versus-leukemia) activity and improve the safety of DLI
treatment.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects aged >18yrs and < 65yrs

2. Clinical diagnosis of one of the following adult hematological malignancies

1. Leukemia

2. Myelodysplastic Syndromes

3. Lymphomas

4. Multiple myeloma

5. Other high-risk hematologic malignancies eligible for stem cell transplantation
per institutional standard Life expectancy >10 weeks

3. Evidence of recurrent disease that presents > 100 days or minimal residual disease
(MRD) that presents > 30 days after one of the following:

1. Matched related HSCT

2. Mismatched related HSCT

4. Signed patient informed consent;

5. A minimum genotypic identical match of 4/8 is required, as determined by high
resolution typing, at least one allele of each of the following genetic loci: HLA-A,
HLA-B, HLA-Cw, and HLA- DRB1

6. Performance status: Karnofsky score > 50%

7. Subjects with adequate organ function as measured by:

1. Bone marrow:

- > 25% donor T-cell chimerism

- ANC >1 x 10E9/L

2. Cardiac: left ventricular ejection fraction at rest must be >45%.

3. Hepatic: direct bilirubin ≤ 3 x upper limit of normal, or AST/ALT ≤ 5 x upper
limit of normal

4. Renal: creatinine ≤ 2x of ULN for age

5. Pulmonary: FEV 1, FVC, DLCO (diffusion capacity) > 50% predicted (corrected for
hemoglobin)

Exclusion Criteria:

1. ≥ Grade II acute GVHD or chronic extensive GVHD due to a previous allograft at time of
screening;

2. Active CNS involvement by malignant cells;

3. Current uncontrolled bacterial, viral or fungal infection (currently taking medication
with evidence of progression of clinical symptoms or radiologic findings). The
principal investigator is the final arbiter of this criterion;

4. Positive HIV serology or viral RNA

5. Pregnancy (positive serum βHCG test) or breast-feeding;

6. Subjects of reproductive potential unwilling to use effective forms of birth control
or abstinence for a year after transplantation;

7. Bovine product allergy
