autologous cd22 car t cells in adults w/ recurrent or refractory b cell malignancies

Conditions: B-ALL; B-cell Non Hodgkin Lymphoma; DLBCL; Follicular Lymphoma Grade 3B

Summary: the primary purpose of this study is to test whether cd22-car t cells can be successfully made from immune cells collected from adults with relapsed/refractory b-cell malignancies (leukemia and lymphoma).

primary objective: * determine the feasibility of manufacturing cd22 car t cells using the miltenyi clinimacs prodigy® system for administration to adults with relapsed/refractory cd22 expressing b-cell all or relapsed/refractory aggressive b-cell non hodgkins lymphoma (nhl). * establish the maximum tolerated dose (mtd)/recommended phase 2 dose (rp2d) of cd22 car t cells in adults with relapsed/refractory aggressive b-cell nhl. * determine the safety of an established dose of cd22-car t cells in adults with relapsed/refractory cd22 expressing b-cell all and the safety of the mtd/rp2d of cd22-car t cells in adults with relapsed/refractory aggressive b-cell nhl. secondary objective: - assess the clinical activity of cd22-car t cells in adults with r/r cd22 expressing b-cell all and r/r aggressive b-cell nhl, including overall survival (os) and progressive free survival (pfs).

2. subjects receiving hydroxyurea may be enrolled provided there has been no increase in dose for at least 2 weeks prior to starting apheresis; 3. subjects who are on standard all maintenance type chemotherapy (vincristine, 6-mercaptopurine or oral methotrexate) may be enrolled provided that chemotherapy is discontinued at least 1 week or 5 half lives, whichever is shorter, prior to apheresis. 4. subjects receiving steroid therapy at physiologic replacement doses only are allowed provided there has been no increase in dose for at least 2 weeks prior to starting apheresis; 5. for radiation therapy: radiation therapy must have been completed at least 3 weeks prior to apheresis, with the exception that there is no time restriction if the volume of bone marrow treated is less than 10% and also the subject has measurable/evaluable disease outside the radiation port or the site of radiation has documented progression. 6. prior car therapy subjects who have undergone prior car therapy must be at least 30 day post car infusion and have \< 5% of cd3+ cells express the previous car if a validated assay is available. 7. toxicities due to prior therapy must be stable or resolved (except for clinically non significant toxicities such as alopecia or cytopenias covered in \*footnote to #10) 8. age greater than or equal to 18 years of age 9. eastern cooperative oncology group (ecog) performance status of 0, 1, or 2;
