Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - Tisagenlecleucel
Treatment: Drugs - lymphodepleting chemotherapy
Treatment: Drugs - Bridging Therapy

Experimental: Tisagenlecleucel - Participants were infused once with CAR-positive viable T cells


Other interventions: Tisagenlecleucel
Tisagenlecleucel was infused once as an intravenous infustion at a dose of either 0.2 to 5 x 106 CAR-positive viable T cells per kg body weight for subjects = 50 kg or 0.1 to 2.5 x 108 CAR-positive viable T cells for subjects > 50 kg.

Treatment: Drugs: lymphodepleting chemotherapy
Prior to tisagenlecleucel infusion, each subject underwent lymphodepletion with recommended Fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (unless contra-indicated for subject)

Treatment: Drugs: Bridging Therapy
Pre-treatment phase could also include bridging therapy of investigator's choice

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of the study was to assess the efficacy and safety of tisagenlecleucel in
pediatric, adolescent and young adult patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin
lymphoma (r/r B-NHL) including Burkitt Lymphoma and Burkitt Leukemia.

For pediatric patients who have r/r B-NHL including Burkitt Lymphoma and Burkitt Leukemia,
survival rates are dismal, only ~20-50% subjects are alive at 2 years with overall response
rate (ORR) of 20-30% after conventional salvage chemotherapy.
