New treatment option for Leukemia, B-Cell
Official title Trivalent CAR-T Cell in Acute B-Lineage Leukemia (TRICAR-ALL)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05010564
What this study is testing
What is Autologous TRICAR-ALL T-cells and lymphodepletion chemotherapy?
Autologous TRICAR-ALL T-cells and lymphodepletion chemotherapy is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for leukemia, b-cell.
Also referred to as Cytoxan, Fludara.
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
- This is a gene transfer study for patients with a type of blood cancer called Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) that has come back or has not gone away after treatment. The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
