CAR-T Cell Therapy for Blood Cancers: Study MT2017-45

Sponsor: Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota

Sponsor score: 40

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT03642626

This study is testing FDA-approved CAR-T cell therapies for patients with blood cancers. Participants will be divided into groups based on age and diagnosis to evaluate remission rates and safety.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

This phase II study is exploring the use of FDA-approved CAR-T cell therapies for treating blood cancers. Patients will be placed into different groups depending on their age and specific diagnosis. The study aims to measure how well the treatment works in achieving remission and to monitor any safety concerns for each group separately.
