Recruiting PHASE1 Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

New treatment option for Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

Official title CD64 CAR T Cell Therapy in Adults With Relapsed and/or Refractory AML

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07347418

What this study is testing

What is CD64 CAR T Cells?

CD64 CAR T Cells is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for refractory acute myeloid leukemia (aml).

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 Phase 1, open label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, expansion, persistence, and preliminary clinical activity of lentivirally transduced autologous T cells expressing anti-CD64 chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) expressing tandem CD3ζ and 4-1BB (CD3ζ/4-1BB) costimulatory domains in subjects with refractory or relapsed (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This CAR T cell product will be referred to as "CD64 CAR T" which is CD64 directed, autologous, genetically modified CAR T cells.
