Summary

This early-stage trial tests whether a personalized cell therapy (CAR T-cells) can safely prevent relapse in older adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia who are already in first remission. About 18 participants will receive their own immune cells, modified in a lab to target and destroy leukemia cells. The main goals are to find the safest dose and identify side effects.
