• Treatment (FH-FOLR1 CAR T) · EXPERIMENTAL · Patients undergo apheresis to obtain T cells for product manufacturing. Patients receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy with fludarabine IV on days -4 to -1 and cyclophosphamide IV on days -4 and -3. Patients receive FH-FOLR1 CAR T IV on day 0. Patients undergo ECHO at screening, undergo collection of CSF and blood samples and bone marrow aspiration/biopsy throughout the study, and may undergo PET scan on study and during follow up.

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of FH-FOLR1 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells in treating pediatric patients with FOLR1+ acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). 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. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a FOLR1 on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, are given to a patient before the manufactured FH-FOLR1 CAR T cells are infused back into the patient to assist in the CAR T cell activity in the patient. The trial is evaluating if giving FH-FOLR1 CAR T cell therapy is safe and tolerable for pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory AML.
