P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 Allogeneic CAR-T Cells in the Treatment of Subjects With B Cell Malignancies

Phase 1 study comprised of open-label, dose escalation and expansion cohort study of P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 allogeneic T stem cell memory (Tscm) CAR-T cells in subjects with relapsed/refractory B cell malignancies

Phase 1 study consisting of two parts. Part 1 is a weight-based dose escalation following a 3+3 design of dose-escalating cohorts to define a maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Part 2 includes administration at a selected dose and LD regimen. After enrollment, subjects will receive a lymphodepletion therapy regimen before administration of allogeneic CAR-T cells, administered as a single dose. Treated subjects will undergo serial measurements of safety, tolerability and response. Rimiducid may be administered.

5. Subjects must have measurable disease as defined by Lugano 2016 criteria (Cheson, 2016).
6. Must have relapsed/refractory disease and have received adequate prior anti-cancer therapy, as defined below:

   a. Prior systemic chemotherapy must include a line of chemoimmunotherapy that includes an anti-CD20 antibody, an anthracycline, and 1 or more of the following: i. No response to first-line therapy (primary refractory disease). Refractory disease (defined as SD, PD, PR or CR with relapse before 3 months).

If salvage therapy is given post-ASCT, the patient must have had no response to or relapsed after the last line of therapy.

   iv. Refractory disease (SD, PD, PR or CR with relapse before 3 months) or relapsed disease (defined as CR/PR with relapse on, or after lasting at least 3 months but no more than 12 months), to CD20 antibody and anthracycline containing first-line therapy.

8. Must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening and a negative urine pregnancy test within 3 days prior to initiating the lymphodepletion chemotherapy regimen (females of childbearing potential).
9. Must be at least 90 days since ASCT, if performed.
10. Treatment with prior CD19 targeted therapy is allowed, provided the last dose was administered at least 90 days before the start of P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 treatment in this study. Must be at least 3 months since autologous CAR-T therapy if such therapy was administered (medical monitor must approve prior CAR-T therapy or other prior T cell targeted therapy).
11. Must have adequate vital organ function, defined as follows (or medical monitor approval):

    1. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL or estimated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min as calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula and not dialysis-dependent.
    2. Adequate hematologic function, including:

    i. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000/μL in the absence of growth factor support (granulocyte colony stimulating factor \[G-CSF\] within 7 days or peg-G-CSF within 14 days) ii. Platelet count ≥ 50,000/μL in the absence of transfusion support (platelet transfusion within 7 days) iii. Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL in the absence of transfusion support (red blood cell count or whole blood within 7 days) c. Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 × the upper limit of normal (ULN), and total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL (unless there is a history of Gilbert's Syndrome in which case bilirubin levels ≤ 3 mg/dL).

    d. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 45%. LVEF assessment must have been performed within 4 weeks of enrollment.
12. Must have recovered from toxicities due to prior therapies to Grade ≤ 2 according to the NCI CTCAE v5.0 criteria or to the subject's prior baseline.
13. Must have an ECOG performance status of 0 to 1.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Is pregnant or lactating.
2. Has inadequate venous access.

4. Concurrent or previous other malignancy within 2 years of study entry, except curatively treated malignancies including basal or squamous cell skin cancer, prostate intraepithelial neoplasm, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, breast, or Bowen's disease. Patients with other curatively treated malignancies with low risk of recurrence not listed may also be considered eligible after review and approval by the Sponsor medical monitor.
5. Has active autoimmune disease, such as psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. (the medical monitor will determine if a disease is active and autoimmune).
