New immune therapy trial aims to target tough leukemia

NCT ID NCT03233854

Summary

This early-stage study is testing the safety and side effects of a new type of immune cell therapy for adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back or hasn't responded to other treatments. The therapy involves genetically modifying a patient's own immune cells (CAR T-cells) to attack cancer, and may be given with an experimental drug designed to boost the immune system's fight. The main goal is to find the safest dose and see if the treatment can be successfully made for patients.
