Evaluate the Safety of UF-KURE19 Cells in Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas

UF-KURE19 cells are initially generated from a starting autologous apheresis sample. T cells are activated and transduced with Kure19 lentiviral vector that consists of a 3rd generation vector with an scFV (FMC63) that targets CD19. The product is harvested at 17-20hr after culture and cryopreserved

Fludarabine phosphate is rapidly dephosphorylated to 2-fluoro-ara-A and then phosphorylated intracellularly by deoxycytidine kinase to the active triphosphate, 2-fluoro-ara-ATP. This metabolite appears to act by inhibiting DNA polymerase alpha, ribonucleotide reductase and DNA primase, thus inhibiting DNA synthesis.

The mechanism of action is thought to involve cross-linking of tumor cell DNA
