Recruiting PHASE1 Acute Myeloid Leukemia

New treatment option for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Official title FH-WT1-E50 TCR T Cells With Azacitidine for the Treatment of Minimal Residual Disease Positive Acute Myeloid Leukemia

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07645469

What this study is testing

What is Autologous HLA-A*02:01-restricted CD4+/CD8+ Anti-WT1 TCR/CD8ab-expressing T-cells?

Autologous HLA-A*02:01-restricted CD4+/CD8+ Anti-WT1 TCR/CD8ab-expressing 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 Autologous HLA-A*02:01-restricted WT1-E50 TCR-CD8ab CD4+/CD8+ T Cells, Autologous WT1-specific HLA-A*02:01-restricted TCR/CD8ab CD4-/CD8-positive 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 best dose of FH-WT1-E50 TCR T cells with azacitidine for the treatment of minimal residual disease (MRD) positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML). T cells are infection fighting blood cells that can kill tumor cells.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
