New dual CAR-T attack on tough leukemia shows early promise
NCT ID NCT07201727
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tests a two-step treatment for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to standard therapy. First, patients receive special immune cells (CAR-T cells) that target two markers on leukemia cells, followed by a second type of CAR-T cell. Then, they may get a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can control the disease. Only 10 adults aged 18-75 will take part.

Inclusion Criteria: Patients must meet all of the following criteria: * Patients are clinically diagnosed with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia; * Tumor cells are confirmed to be CD123 or CLL-1 positive by flow cytometry (FCM) or immunohistochemistry, with a positivity rate of no less than 80%; * Patients aged 18 to 75 years (inclusive); * The expected survival time is more than 3 months from the date of signing the informed consent; * KPS≥80 points; * The functions of vital organs need to meet the following conditions: ①LVEF\>50%,and electrocardiogram is normal; ② Oxygen saturation ≥90%;③ SCr≤2.5ULN;④ALT and AST≤5ULN,TBil≤3ULN; * Subjects intending to conceive must agree to use contraception prior to study enrollment and for six months post-study. In the event of pregnancy or suspected pregnancy, they should promptly notify the investigator. * The subject or guardian understands and signs the Informed Consent Form (ICF). Exclusion Criteria: Any of the following conditions will not be eligible for enrolment in this study: * Within one - year prior to signing the informed consent form, there is a history of heart failure of New York Heart Association (NYHA) class ≥ III, or myocardial infarction, cardiac angioplasty or stent implantation, unstable angina pectoris, or other cardiac diseases with prominent clinical symptoms, or the QTc interval is \> 480 ms during screening (the QTc interval is calculated by the Fridericia formula); * Those with active GvHD or those who need to use immunosuppressants; * Patients who have had any malignancy other than acute myeloid leukemia (AML) within the past 5 years, except for those with adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ, basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, locally resected prostate cancer, or resected ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast; * Patients who have active infections requiring systemic treatment or uncontrollable infections within 7 days prior to screening, except for mild urinary and genital infections and upper respiratory infections; * There has been a history of autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Crohn's disease) that require systemic immunosuppressive/systemic disease regulatory drugs for treatment within the past two years; * When screening, if the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HbcAb) is positive and the peripheral blood hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA is higher than the detection limit, it needs to be excluded. If the hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody is positive, those with positive HCV RNA in peripheral blood need to be excluded. Those who are positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies; Those who test positive for cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA; Those with positive DNA test for lymphotropic human herpesvirus (EBV); Those who test positive for Treponema pallidum specific antibody (TPPA) need to be excluded; * Participation in another clinical trial within 4 weeks or within 5 half-lives of the last dose of the drug from the previous clinical trial (whichever is longer); * Has a history of severe allergy to biological products; * Unstable systemic diseases as judged by the investigator: including but not limited to severe liver, kidney or metabolic diseases requiring medical treatment; * Pregnant or lactating women, female subjects who plan to become pregnant within 2 years after CAR-T cell infusion, or male subjects whose partners plan to become pregnant within 2 years after their CAR-T cell infusion; * conditions that the investigator believes may increase the risk to the subject or interfere with the results of the trial.
