New combo therapy aims to cut chemo and boost survival in leukemia
NCT ID NCT06481241
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding CAR-T cells to standard chemotherapy can help adults newly diagnosed with a certain type of leukemia (Ph-negative B-ALL) achieve deeper remission and need fewer chemo cycles. About 77 participants will receive CAR-T cells after initial chemo. The goal is to improve survival and quality of life while reducing side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CAR-T cells and venetoclax
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could reduce the amount of chemotherapy needed and improve survival and quality of life for adults with a type of leukemia.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase study with no control group, so results may not be definitive. CAR-T therapy carries risks like severe immune reactions and side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. De novo and primary Ph/BCR-ABL1 negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia diagnosed by the bone marrow cytomorphology, immunophenotyping, cytogenetics and molecular biology according to WHO classification 2. Male or female patients aged 18 years or older 3. CD19 expression on blasts 4. Expected survival time greater than 3 months 5. Adequate end organ function as defined by: Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal(ULN); serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 x ULN or ≤5 x ULN if leukemic involvement of the liver is present; Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN; Serum amylase and lipase ≤ 1.5 x ULN; Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x ULN unless considered tumor related; normal electrolytes: Potassium ≥ LLN; Magnesium ≥ LLN; Phosphorus ≥ LLN; Cardiac color Doppler ultrasound ejection fraction ≥ 45% 6. Subject has provided written informed consent prior to any screening procedure Exclusion Criteria: 1. Burkitt lymphoma/leukemia 2. Acute Leukemia of Ambiguous Lineage 3. Clinical manifestations of active CNS or extramedullary involvement with ALL 4. Female patients who are pregnant or breast feeding 5. Uncontrolled active serious infections that could, in the investigator's opinion, potentially interfere with the completion of treatment 6. Known HIV seropositivity 7. Clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias, unexplained syncope (not vasovagal) or sinus block, history of chronic bradycardia with a high degree of atrioventricular (AV) conduction block (unless a permanent pacemaker is implanted) 8. Any serious psychiatric illness that could, in the investigator's opinion, potentially interfere with the completion of treatment 9. Other conditions assessed by the investigators to be inappropriate for this study
