Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Treatment (leukapheresis, external beam radiation, CAR-T)

Arm Description

Patients undergo leukapheresis per standard of care, undergo external beam radiation therapy, and undergo CAR T-cell infusion per standard of care on study. Patients undergo PET/CT throughout the study and may undergo MRI during screening. Patients also undergo blood sample collection throughout the study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Proportion of participants completing planned radiation therapy
Will be assessed by the proportion of participants completing planned radiation therapy without any grade 3 or higher radiation-attributable (possibly, probably, or definitely) adverse events (AEs), along with its associated 95% Clopper Pearson exact binomial confidence interval (CI). All participants who start protocol radiation therapy are evaluable.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Incidence of AEs
Will be assessed by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)5.0 except in the case of cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity, which will be graded by American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Consensus Grading and not NCI CTCAE v5.0. All participants who receive any fraction of protocol radiation are evaluable.
Objective response rate
Will be defined as the proportion of participants that achieve a best response of either complete response (CR) or partial response after CAR T-cell infusion and prior to disease progression and/or start of other anti-lymphoma therapy, along with its associated 95% Clopper Pearson exact binomial CI. Only participants who receive CAR T-cell infusion post protocol radiation are evaluable.
Complete response rate
Will be defined as the proportion of participants that achieve a best response of CR after CAR T-cell infusion and prior to disease progression and/or start of other anti-lymphoma therapy, along with its associated 95% Clopper Pearson exact binomial CI. Only participants who receive CAR T-cell infusion post protocol radiation are evaluable.
Progression free survival
Will be assessed only in participants who receive CAR T-cell infusion post protocol radiation are evaluable for this endpoint. Will be estimated for patients who received radiation and CAR T-cells using the Kaplan Meier method along with the Greenwood estimator of standard error; 95% confidence interval will be constructed based on log-log transformation.
Overall survival
Will be assessed only in participants who receive CAR T-cell infusion post protocol radiation are evaluable. Will be estimated for patients who received radiation and CAR T-cells using the Kaplan Meier method along with the Greenwood estimator of standard error; 95% confidence interval will be constructed based on log-log transformation.
Local control
Will be defined as the 80% isodose line. Only participants who receive CAR T-cell infusion post protocol radiation are evaluable. Will be analyzed by competing risk method where death without any progression will also be treated as a competing risk event.
Distant control
Will be defined as the 80% isodose line. Only participants who receive CAR T-cell infusion post protocol radiation are evaluable. Will be analyzed by competing risk method where death without any progression will also be treated as a competing risk event.

Brief Summary
This early phase I clinical trial evaluates bridging radiation therapy given before chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell infusion to treat large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) that has come back (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Patients with relapsed or refractory disease have historically poor prognosis. CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T-cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T-cells are taken from a patient's blood (leukapheresis). Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T-cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Large numbers of the CAR T-cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. While the outcomes from CAR T-cell therapy appear favorable, in the time between leukapheresis and CAR T-cell infusion many patients have symptomatic or life-threatening disease which often requires bridging therapy. Bridging therapy aims to slow disease progression and control symptoms during this critical period prior to CAR T-cell infusion. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells. Giving bridging radiation therapy to patients with relapsed or refractory LBCL prior to CAR T-cell infusion may improve treatment outcomes with minimal toxicity.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Evaluate if bridging radiation to all sites of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid disease can be feasibly administered prior to commercial CAR T-cell infusion in patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the toxicities of bridging radiation in patients with LBCL. II. Assess overall response rate, complete response rate, progression-free survival, local control, distant control, and overall survival after bridging radiation and CAR T-cell infusion in patients with LBCL. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Bank blood for future immune profiling or other correlatives. II. Explore the association between positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) radiomic features and clinical outcomes. III. Collect PET/CT imaging data using the RefleXion X1 linear accelerator imaging system. OUTLINE: Patients undergo leukapheresis per standard of care, undergo external beam radiation therapy, and undergo CAR T-cell infusion per standard of care on study. Patients undergo PET/CT throughout the study and may undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during screening. Patients also undergo blood sample collection throughout the study.
