Fludarabine and cyclophosphamide were used for lymphodepletion (LD)...Finally, we found that anti-apoptotic effects of cytokines can be prevented, and CART-123 killing of AML can be restored, via ruxolitinib blockade of JAK/STAT signaling in both in vitro and in vivo settings... We conducted a pilot study of CD123-directed CAR T cells (CART-123) in adults with relapsed or refractory AML. The primary objective was safety with a secondary objective of anti-leukemia efficacy. Twenty-two subjects were screened, and 20 were eligible for the trial.

AMELI-01 (NCT04106076) is a phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, expansion, and persistence of UCART123v1.2 given at escalating dose levels after LD with either fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) or FC with alemtuzumab (FCA) in patients (pts) with R/R CD123+ AML...Pts must have received ≥2 cycles of chemotherapy (one with standard dose cytarabine), ≥ 1 cycle of a high/intermediate dose cytarabine containing regimen, ≥ 2 cycles of an HMA combination regimen, or prior allogeneic HSCT... Adding alemtuzumab to the FC regimen was associated with improved LD and significantly higher UCART123v1.2 cell expansion and persistence, which correlated with improved activity and safety, including one pt in the DL2 FCA arm who achieved a durable MRD-negative CR. Overall, these data support the safety and activity of UCART123v1.2 after FCA LD in pts with CD123+ R/R AML.
