Number of Patients With Grade 3-5 Toxicities Occurring Within the Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) Period of AUTO3 Infusion Primary · Within 30 days (+/- 3 days) after the last dose of AUTO3.

Number of Patients With Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) of AUTO3 Primary · Within 30 days (+/- 3 days) after the last dose of AUTO3.

DLT was defined as i) any new non-hematological adverse event (AE) of Grade 3 or higher toxicity using the NCI CTCAE (version 5.0), which was probably or definitely related to AUTO3 therapy, which occurred within the DLT evaluation period, and which failed to resolve to Grade 2 or better within 14 days, despite appropriate supportive measures; ii) Grade 4 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or neurotoxicity, cerebral edema, or Grade 3 neurotoxicity (including cerebral edema) that lasted \>72 hours; iii) Grade \>3 disseminated intravascular coagulation; iv) Grade \>2 infusion reaction; v) Any other

Number of Patients Achieving Morphological Remission (Complete Response(CR) or Complete Response With Incomplete Count Recovery (CRi) and Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)-Negative Response in the Bone Marrow (PCR)). Primary · Within 30 days (+/- 3 days) post AUTO3 infusion

Morphological response evaluations were based on the response criteria for ALL according to the NCCN guidelines version 2.2014. Minimal residual disease-negative status was achieved if MRD was \<10\^-4 (0.01%) by PCR amplification of individual rearrangements of Ig genes and/or flow cytometry MRD testing.

Feasibility of Generating AUTO3: Number of Patients' Cells Successfully Manufactured as a Proportion of the Number of Patients Undergoing Leukapheresis Secondary · Up to 8 weeks post leukapheresis

Feasibility of product generation was examined by assessing the number of AUTO3 successfully manufactured as a fraction of the number of patients undergoing leukapheresis (all patients screened).

Persistence of AUTO3 Following Adoptive Transfer Secondary · Up to 2 years

Persistence of AUTO3 was measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and/or flow cytometry at a range of time points in the peripheral blood and the bone marrow. Persistence was defined as the timepoint in days of last detectable CAR T cell by qPCR or last assessment if zero copies per μg DNA (whichever occurred later) before morphological relapse (Tlast).
