Conditions: Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia; Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia; Acute Myeloid Leukemia; Acute Myeloid Leukemia, in Relapse; Acute Myeloid Leukemia Refractory

Summary: the purpose of this study is to find out whether cd371-ysnvz-il18 car t cells are safe, and to look for the highest dose of cd371-ysnvz-il18 car t cells that cause few or mild side effects in participants.


Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: subject inclusion: collection of t cells (part a) * history of cd371+ aml * any disease status is eligible for collection * expression of cd371 at any level on aml blasts (any method of detection including ihc and/or flow cytometry) * age/weight * pediatrics: ≥ 1 year and ≥ 10kg for collection * adults: no limit on age/weight for collection * patients with history of allo-hct are eligible for collection if: * ≥ 100 days post-transplant * no evidence of active gvhd * off any immunosuppressive agents for 30 days prior to collection (physiologic dose of corticosteroids is acceptable) subject inclusion: treatment with cd371-specific/ysnvz/il-18 car t cells (part b) * relapsed/refractory cd371+ aml (meeting criteria defined below): o primary refractory aml: patients are eligible from disease perspective in the event of failure to achieve a cr, crh or cri after one or more of the following regimens: * two or more courses of standard intensive induction chemotherapy (e.g., cytarabine and daunorubicin given as "7+3," mec, hidac, flag+idarubicin, etc.); * two or more cycles of venetoclax in combination with one of the following (azacitidine or decitabine or low-dose cytarabine), with or without other agents; * six or more cycles of azacitidine monotherapy or four or more courses of decitabine monotherapy * early first relapse: patients are eligible from disease perspective in the event of first morphologic relapse or new extramedullary disease less than 12 months after previously having achieved cr, crh, or cri following aml-directed therapy * late first relapse: patients with first morphologic relapse or new extramedullary disease ≥12 months after previously having achieved cr, crh, or cri following aml-directed therapy may respond to intensive re-induction using the initial induction regimen and not eligible from a disease perspective unless the treating investigator feels the patient is unlikely to benefit from repeating the initial induction regimen (for example, relapse occurring 12 months into cr on continuous azacitidine/venetoclax therapy), in which case the rationale for considering enrollment must be clearly documented and risks, benefits, and alternatives discussed with the patient. * advanced disease: patients are eligible from disease perspective in the event of relapsed aml refractory to reinduction therapy, relapse following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, or second or later relapse. * disease eligibility considerations for all patients: patients with relapsed or refractory aml with susceptible mutations for which there is an fda approved therapy (for example, idh1 mutation, ivosidenib; idh2 mutation, enasidenib; flt3-itd/tkd, gilteritinib) are not eligible from a disease perspective unless they meet one or more of the below criteria: * failure to achieve cr, crh, or cri following therapy with one or more targeted therapies for relapsed or refractory aml directed to the actionable mutation(s); * intolerance of one or more targeted therapies for relapsed or refractory aml directed to the actionable mutation(s); * treating investigator feels the patient would be unlikely to benefit from fda-approved targeted therapy based on disease characteristics, in which case the rationale for considering enrollment must be clearly documented and risks, benefits, and alternatives discussed with the patient age: any age is eligible for treatment if eligible for collection o the first 3 patients in the first dose cohort must be ≥ 16 years of age, while the first 2 patients in subsequent cohorts must be ≥ 16 years of age (see section 10.4) * adequate performance status: * age ≥ 16 years: ecog ≤ 1 or karnosfsky ≥ 60 * age \< 16 years: lansky ≥ 60 * patients with history of allo-hct are eligible for treatment if: * ≥ 100 days post-transplant * no evidence of active gvhd * off any systemic immunosuppressive agents for 30 days prior to treatment (physiologic dose of corticosteroids is acceptable) * treating physician considers the patient to be a candidate for second allogeneic hsct * identification of a suitable donor/source for allogeneic hsct as determined by the treating physician. * adequate organ function is required, defined as follows: * hepatic: serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dl, unless benign congenital hyperbilirubinemia or unless thought to be disease related. * hepatic: alt and ast \< 3 times the upper limit of normal unless thought to be disease-related. * renal: serum creatinine \ 18 years) or ≤ 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (uln) for age * if serum creatinine is outside the normal range, then crcl \> 40 ml/min/1.73m2 (calculated or estimated) or gfr (ml/min/1.73m2) \> 40% of predicted normal for age. normal gfr by age age: 1 week / mean gfr +/-sd (ml/min/1.73 m2): 40.6 + / - 14.8 age: 2 - 8 weeks / mean gfr +/-sd (ml/min/1.73 m2): 65.8 + / - 24.8 age: \> 8 weeks / mean gfr +/-sd (ml/min/1.73 m2): 95.7 +/- 21.7 age: 2 - 12 years / mean gfr +/-sd (ml/min/1.73 m2): 133 +/- 27 age: 13 - 21 years (males) / mean gfr +/-sd (ml/min/1.73 m2): 140 +/- 30 age: 13 - 21 years (females) / mean gfr +/-sd (ml/min/1.73 m2): 126.0 + / - 22.0 abbreviations: gfr, glomerular f filtration rate;
