Engineered immune cells take on philadelphia Chromosome-Positive leukemia
NCT ID NCT07252336
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether specially engineered immune cells (CAR-T cells) can treat adults with a specific, aggressive form of acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has a genetic marker called the Philadelphia chromosome. Fifty newly diagnosed patients will receive an infusion of these cells. The main goal is to see if the treatment can make the cancer disappear at a molecular level.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CD19/CD22 CAR-T cells
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for adults with a hard-to-treat form of leukemia, potentially improving remission rates without standard chemotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. CAR-T therapy can cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome or neurological problems.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years old, gender not restricted; 2. Subjects diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) in accordance with the 2016 WHO Classification of Acute Leukemias; 3. Abnormal B cells positive for CD19 and CD22 by immunophenotyping; 4. Subjects positive for Philadelphia chromosome (Ph chromosome) and BCR/ABL1 fusion gene by chromosomal and corresponding genetic testing; 5. Newly diagnosed B-ALL patients who have not received treatment with standard chemotherapy regimens; 6. Serum total bilirubin ≤ 51 μmol/L, serum ALT and AST both ≤ 3 times the upper limit of the normal reference range, and serum creatinine ≤ 176.8 μmol/L; 7. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% as assessed by echocardiography; 8. Subjects with no active pulmonary infection and oxygen saturation ≥ 92% without oxygen supplementation; 9. Estimated survival time ≥ 3 months; 10. ECOG performance status score 0-2; 11. Females and males of childbearing potential must agree to use appropriate contraceptive measures before enrollment, during study participation, and within 6 months after infusion; 12. Subjects voluntarily participate in this study and sign the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects meeting any of the following exclusion criteria are ineligible for enrollment in this study: 1. Subjects with a history of epilepsy or other central nervous system diseases; 2. Subjects with a prior history of QT interval prolongation or severe cardiac diseases; 3. Pregnant or lactating women (the safety of this therapy for unborn children is unknown); 4. Subjects with untreated active infections; 5. Subjects with serological evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection who are unable or unwilling to receive standard prophylactic antiviral treatment, or have a detectable HBV viral DNA load; subjects with serological evidence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who have not completed curative treatment or have a detectable HCV viral load; 6. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive; 7. Syphilis antibody positive; 8. Subjects who have previously received any gene therapy products; 9. Subjects with other uncontrolled diseases who, in the investigator's judgment, are unsuitable for enrollment; 10. Any other conditions that, in the investigator's judgment, may increase the risk to the subject or interfere with the study results.
