New CAR t-cell therapy takes on hard-to-treat leukemia

NCT ID NCT06281847

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new treatment called CCTx-001 for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to standard treatments. CCTx-001 is a type of immunotherapy that uses a patient's own immune cells, modified to target a protein called IL-1RAP found on leukemia cells. The trial has two phases: the first finds the safest dose, and the second checks how well it works. About 143 participants will take part across multiple centers.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

CCTx-001 (a CAR T-cell therapy targeting IL-1RAP)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with hard-to-treat acute myeloid leukemia that has come back or not responded to standard therapy.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. CAR T-cell therapies can cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome.
