Recruiting PHASE1 T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma

New treatment option for T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma

Official title Autologous T-Cells Expressing a Second Generation CAR for Treatment of T-Cell Malignancies Expressing CD5 Antigen

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03081910

What this study is testing

What is Autologous CD5.CAR/28zeta CAR T cells?

Autologous CD5.CAR/28zeta CAR T cells is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for t-cell acute lymphoblastic lymphoma.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
Patients eligible for this study have a type of blood cancer called T-cell leukemia or lymphoma (lymph gland cancer). The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
