A Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of JCAR017 to Standard of Care in Adult Subjects With High-risk, Transplant-eligible Relapsed or Refractory Aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas
United States, Belgium, Finland184 participantsStarted 2018-10-23
Plain-language summary
The study will be conducted in compliance with the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use/Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements.
This is a randomized, open-label, parallel-group, multi-center trial in adult subjects with Relapsed or refractory (R/R) aggressive Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) to compare safety and efficacy between the standard of care (SOC) strategy versus JCAR017 (also known as lisocabtagene maraleucel or liso-cel). Subjects will be randomized to either receive SOC (Arm A) or to receive JCAR017 (Arm B).
All subjects randomized to Arm A will receive Standard of care (SOC) salvage therapy (R-DHAP, RICE or R-GDP) as per physician's choice before proceeding to High dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).
Subjects from Arm A may be allowed to cross over and receive JCAR017 upon confirmation of an EFS event.
Subjects randomized to Arm B will receive Lymphodepleting (LD) chemotherapy followed by JCAR017 infusion.

Inclusion criteria
. Subject is ≥ 18 years and ≤ 75 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).
. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 1.
. Histologically proven diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) NOS (de novo or transformed indolent NHL), high grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements with DLBCL histology (double/triple-hit lymphoma \[DHL/THL\]), primary mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL), T cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma (THRBCL) or follicular lymphoma grade 3B. Enough tumor material must be available for confirmation by central pathology.
. Refractory or relapsed within 12 months from CD20 antibody and anthracycline containing first line therapy.
. \[18F\] fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) positive lesion at screening. (Deauville score 4 or 5)
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Event-free Survival (EFS) Per Independent Review Committee (IRC)
Timeframe: From randomization to death from any cause, PD, failure to achieve CR or PR by 9 weeks post randomization, or start of new antineoplastic therapy due to efficacy concerns, whichever occurs first (Up to 36 months)
. Participants must agree to use effective contraception
Exclusion criteria
. Subjects not eligible for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
. Subjects planned to undergo allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
. Subjects with, primary cutaneous large B-cell lymphoma, EBV (Epstein-Barr virus) positive DLBCL, Burkitt lymphoma or transformation from chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (Richter transformation).
. Subjects with prior history of malignancies, other than aggressive R/R NHL, unless the subject has been free of the disease for ≥ 2 years with the exception of the following noninvasive malignancies:
. Treatment with any prior gene therapy product.
. Subjects who have received previous CD19-targeted therapy.
. Subjects with active hepatitis B, or active hepatitis C are excluded. Subjects with negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for viral load for hepatitis B or C are permitted. Subjects positive for hepatitis B surface antigen and/or anti-hepatitis B core antibody with negative viral load are eligible and should be considered for prophylactic antiviral therapy. Subjects with a history of or active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are excluded.
. Subjects with uncontrolled systemic fungal, bacterial, viral or other infection (including tuberculosis) despite appropriate antibiotics or other treatment.
