Study of the Tocilizumab Optimization Timing for CART19 Associated Cytokine Release Syndrome

Summary

This is a two cohort, open-label, pilot study to describe the efficacy of administration timing of tocilizumab on CART19 (CTL019) associated cytokine release syndrome safety events in pediatric patients with CD19 expressing relapsed and refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with high versus low pre-infusion tumor burden following redirected autologous T cells transduced with the anti-CD19 lentiviral vector (CART19/CTL019).
