Study on CD19 Targeted CAR T Cell Therapy for Adults with Relapsed or Hard-to-Treat B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

Sponsor: Autolus Limited

Sponsor score: 60

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT04404660

This clinical trial is testing a new treatment using CAR T cells to target CD19 in adults with B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has returned or is not responding to other treatments.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new therapy called AUTO1, which uses a patient's own T cells modified to target CD19, a marker on leukemia cells. This treatment is for adults with B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back or is not responding to standard treatments.

Description

This study is in two phases, Phase Ib and Phase II, and is open to adults with relapsed or refractory B cell ALL. Participants will go through several stages: screening, blood cell collection (leukapheresis), preparation for treatment, receiving the treatment, and follow-up. The treatment involves receiving a specific dose of modified CAR T cells on two separate days. The goal is to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is for patients.
