Recruiting PHASE1 Acute Myeloid Leukemia

New treatment option for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Official title CD33-CAR T Cell Therapy for the Treatment of Recurrent or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05672147

What this study is testing

What is Anti-CD33 CAR T-cells?

Anti-CD33 CAR T-cells is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for acute myeloid leukemia.

Also referred to as Anti-CD33 CAR T Cells, Anti-CD33 CAR-T Cells.

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 phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and the best dose of anti-CD33 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-Cell therapy in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient or donor's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells.
