Abstract

The disclosure provides methods of treating a malignancy comprising administering an effective dose of an immune cell therapy (e.g., a chimeric antigen receptor genetically modified T cell immunotherapy) and methods for manufacturing such immunotherapy. Some aspects of the disclosure relate to methods of determining objective response of a patient to an immune cell immunotherapy based on the levels of patient and product attributes prior to and after administration of the immunotherapy to the patient.

Claims (4)

1. A method of treating Relapsed/Refractory B-precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in a subject comprising administering to the subject about 1×10 6 cells per kg body weight of brexucabtagene autoleucel in a total volume of about 40 ml, wherein the subject is a pediatric or adolescent subject, further comprising preconditioning the subject with fludarabine administered at a dose of about 25 mg/m 2 on the fourth, third, and second day before infusion of brexucabtagene autoleucel and with cyclophosphamide administered at a dose of about 900 mg/m 2 on the second day before infusion of brexucabtagene autoleucel.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the brexucabtagene autoleucel is administered as a first, second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth line of therapy, or prior to disease progression.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising at least one of administering tocilizumab for management of a neurologic event only in the context of cytokine release syndrome, and administering a corticosteroid for management of a grade 2 neurologic event.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is at high-risk of disease progression, wherein the subject is at high-risk if the subject shows progression of disease within 24 months after initial diagnosis.
