Clinical Study of ARD103 CAR-T Therapy for Patients With R/R AML or MDS

Sponsor: ARCE Therapeutics, Inc.

Sponsor score: 0

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06680752

This phase I/II study evaluates ARD103, a CLL-1 targeting CAR-T therapy, in patients with R/R AML or MDS. Eligible participants must have adequate organ function and ECOG status 0-1. Interventions include ARD103 infusion and lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. Participants must consent and adhere to contraception guidelines.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

This is a phase I/2, interventional, open-label, multicenter study to assess the safety and efficacy of ARD103 in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.

Description

The investigational product (IP) for this study is ARD103, a C-type lectin-like molecule-1 (CLL-1) autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T). CLL-1 is highly expressed on both myeloid blasts and leukemia stem cells (LSCs) but is absent on normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), suggesting CLL-1 as an excellent therapeutic target for AML and hence other potential myeloid malignancies.
