Authorised Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II) Acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Phase 2 study of the infusion of differentiated autologous T-cells from peripheral blood, expanded and transduced with a lentivirus to express a chimeric antigen receptor with anti-CD19 specificity (A3B1) conjugated with the co-stimulatory regions 4-1BB and CD3z (ARI-0001 cells) in children and adolescents aged 0-18 years with CD19+ acute lymphoblastic leukaemia resistant or refractory to treatment.

EU CTIS ID: 2024-515467-66-00

What this study is testing

To evaluate the efficacy (response rate) of ARI-0001 cells in paediatric patients with CD19+ acute lymphoblastic leukaemia that is resistant or refractory to therapy.
