Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-associated Diseases, EBV+ Lymphoproliferative Disease with Primary Immunodeficiency (EBV+ PID LPD), EBV+ Lymphoproliferative Disease with Acquired (non-congenital) Immunodeficiency (EBV+ AID LPD), EBV+ Posttransplant Lymphoproliferative Disease in Central Nervous System (EBV+ CNS PTLD), EBV+ Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease (EBV+ PTLD), Solid Organ Transplant Complications, Lymphoproliferative Disorders, Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant, Stem Cell Transplant Complications, EBV+ Sarcomas, Leiomyosarcoma
Additional Details

This is a multicenter, multicohort, open-label, single-arm, Phase 2 study to assess the efficacy and safety of tabelecleucel for the treatment of EBV-associated diseases. Participants will be enrolled in one of the following cohorts:

  • - EBV+ lymphoproliferative disease (LPD) in the setting of primary immunodeficiency (PID) (EBV+ PID LPD) that is relapsed and/or refractory (R/R) or newly diagnosed where standard first-line therapy is inappropriate.
  • - EBV+ LPD in the setting of acquired (non-congenital) immunodeficiency (AID) (EBV+ AID LPD) that is R/R or newly diagnosed where standard first-line therapy is inappropriate.
  • - EBV+ posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) involving the central nervous system (CNS) (EBV+ CNS PTLD) that is R/R or newly diagnosed where standard first-line therapy is inappropriate.
  • - EBV+ PTLD where standard first-line therapy (rituximab or chemotherapy) is inappropriate, including cluster of differentiation antigen 20 (CD20)-negative disease.
  • - EBV+ sarcomas, including leiomyosarcoma (LMS), or smooth muscle tumors that is rapidly progressive where standard first-line therapy is inappropriate.
Tabelecleucel will be administered in cycles lasting for 35 days. During each cycle, participants will receive tabelecleucel at a dose of 2 x 10^6 cells/kg intravenously (IV) weekly for 3 weeks, followed by observation through Day 35. Treatment will continue until maximal response, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or initiation of nonprotocol therapy for the underlying disease. For EBV+ sarcoma cohort, treatment will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, two consecutive complete responses (CRs), or up to 12 months from the first dose. Participants who fail to respond to initial tabelecleucel treatment may continue tabelecleucel with a different human leukocyte antigen (HLA) restriction (termed a Restriction Switch), if available; administration of tabelecleucel with up to four different HLA restrictions is allowed for any participant. After treatment is completed or discontinued, participants will complete a safety follow-up visit at 30 days after the last dose and then will enter a quarterly follow-up period. Participants without documented disease progression will be assessed every 3 months after the safety follow-up visit for continued evaluation of disease response until the end of study (EOS) visit at 24-month after first dose. Participants with disease progression any time prior to the EOS visit will continue to be followed every 3 months for survival status until the EOS visit. An adaptive 2-stage design will be used for each cohort in this study. For each cohort, 8 evaluable participants will be enrolled in Stage 1. The decision to move to Stage 2 enrollment will be based on an interim analysis of the first 8 evaluable participants in the cohort using investigator's assessment (per defined radiologic, clinical, and/or laboratory response criteria) who receive tabelecleucel and have at least 1 valid postbaseline disease response assessment. The number of participants enrolled in Stage 2 for each cohort will depend on the number of observed responders in Stage 1. Sponsor may decide not to move forward to Stage 2 in any cohort even if the criteria to move forward for that cohort are met. The decision not to move forward may also be based on data from one or other cohorts.
