Engineered immune cells take aim at leukemia that evades standard therapy
NCT ID NCT04430530
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial investigates a new type of CAR-T cell therapy for people with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) whose cancer has stopped responding to anti-CD19 treatment. The therapy uses a patient's own immune cells, modified to target several other markers on leukemia cells (CD22, CD123, CD38, CD10, and CD20). The study aims to see if this approach is safe and can shrink or eliminate the cancer. It enrolls children and adults over 6 months old from multiple medical centers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 4SCAR-T cells targeting CD22, CD123, CD38, CD10, and CD20
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a new treatment option for patients with B-cell leukemia that no longer responds to standard anti-CD19 therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so results may not apply broadly. CAR-T therapy can cause severe side effects like cytokine release syndrome.
