Personal Statement
My role as a lead investigator on the “Pediatric Leukemia Adoptive Therapy (PLAT)-01” Phase I clinical study will be to facilitate the clinical translation of advances in T cell genetic engineering to improve the prognosis of children with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Building on my laboratory’s preclinical modeling, cGMP process development, and clinical experience in early phase IND supported T cell adoptive therapy trials, I will support the translational and clinical activities proposed in this study. My clinical training in pediatric hematology-oncology and hematopoietic cell transplantation in Seattle and laboratory research training under the mentorship of Dr. Philip D Greenberg at the FHCRC and extensive collaborative work with Dr. Stan Riddell have provided me the research and clinical skill set to be an effective investigator on this clinical study. I am currently Director of the Ben Towne Center for Childhood Cancer at Seattle Children’s Research Institute. In addition, I hold an appointment at the University of Washington School of Medicine as Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology, with a Joint Membership to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Program in Immunology. Since establishing an independent research program 13 years ago at City of Hope, I have lead five FDA-authorized investigator-initiated IND supported human clinical trials employing genetically modified T-cell adoptive immunotherapy, one of which was a pilot first-in-human trial using CD19-specific CTL adoptive transfer for follicular lymphoma.
