NCT ID NCT03573700

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new treatment called SJCAR19 for children and young adults up to age 21 whose B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has come back or not responded to standard therapy. The treatment uses the patient's own immune cells, which are collected, modified in a lab to better recognize and kill cancer cells, and then given back to the patient. The study aims to find the safest dose, check for side effects, and see how well the therapy works.
