a study evaluating the safety and efficacy of brexucabtagene autoleucel (kte-x19) in adult subjects with relapsed/refractory b-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (zuma-3)

Conditions: Relapsed/Refractory B-precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Summary: the primary objectives of this study are to determine the safety and efficacy of brexucabtagene autoleucel (kte-x19) in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (r/r) b-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all).

bridging therapy could be administered at the discretion of the investigator and is recommended for participants with high disease burden at baseline (m3 marrow \[\> 25% leukemic blasts\] or ≥ 1,000 blasts/mm\^3 in the peripheral circulation) to control participant's disease prior to conditioning chemotherapy. bridging therapy includes: attenuated vad: vincristine non-liposomal (1-2 mg iv weekly) or liposomal (2.25 mg/m\^2 iv weekly), and dexamethasone 20-40 mg iv or oral administration (po) daily x 3-4 days per week. optional doxorubicin 50 mg/m\^2 iv x 1 (first week only). mercaptopurine (6-mp): 50-75 mg/m\^2/day by mouth (administer at bedtime on an empty stomach to improve absorption). hydroxyurea: doses titrated between 15-50 mg/kg/day (rounded to the nearest 500 mg capsule and given as a single daily oral dose on a continuous basis). domp: dexamethasone 6 mg/m\^2/day po (or iv) divided twice daily (bid) days 1-5, vincristine 1.5 mg/m\^2 (maximum dose 2 mg) iv on day 1, methotrexate 20 mg/m\^2 po weekly, 6-mp 50- 75mg/m\^2/day po daily. attenuated flag/flag-ida: fludarabine 30 mg/m\^2 iv days 1-2, cytarabine 2 g/m\^2 iv days 1-2, g-csf 5 μg/kg subcutaneously (sc) or iv starts on day 3 and can continue until day before the start of conditioning chemotherapy. with or without idarubicin 6 mg/m\^2 iv days 1-2. mini-hyper cvad (courses a and/or b): * course a: cyclophosphamide 150 mg/m\^2 every 12 hours x 3 days, dexamethasone 20 mg/d iv or po daily days 1-4 and 11-14, vincristine 2 mg iv x 1 * course b: methotrexate 250 mg/m\^2 iv over 24 hours on day 1,cytarabine 0.5 g/m\^2 iv every 12 hours x 4 doses on days 2 and 3. after completion of the month 24 visit, subjects who received an infusion of kte-x19 will complete the remainder of the 15 year follow-up assessments in a separate long-term follow-up study, kt-us-982-5968
