New 'Sandwich' strategy aims to stop leukemia relapse after CAR-T
NCT ID NCT06985498
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a new treatment plan for teenagers and adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Patients receive immunotherapy before a stem cell transplant using their own cells, followed by a CD22/CD19 CAR-T 'sandwich' to reduce the risk of relapse. The study aims to see if this approach is safe and improves survival. It is currently suspended.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CD22/CD19 CAR-T cells, CD19-directed T-cell engager, and inotuzumab ozogamicin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could lower the chance of leukemia returning after CAR-T therapy and stem cell transplant.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial that is currently suspended. The combination therapy may cause severe side effects, and it is not yet known if it works better than standard care.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Newly diagnosed patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) or Ph-positive B-ALL in the high-risk group who have received standard induction chemotherapy; Patients with relapsed/refractory or MRD-positive B-ALL after any course of treatment without a history of immunotherapies(i.e. CD19-directed CD3 T-cell engager, inotuzumab ozogamicin, CD19 or/and CD22 CAR-T cell therapy), who also meet any of the following criteria: (a) Ineligible for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). (b) Refuse allo-HSCT; 2. positive expression of CD19 and CD22 in peripheral blood or bone marrow primary cells detected by flow cytometry; 3. cardiac ultrasound left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50%; Creatinine ≤ 1.6 mg/dl; alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 times the normal range and total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dl; Pulmonary function ≤ grade 1 dyspnea (CTCAE v5.0) with oxygen saturation \> 91% without oxygenation; 4. subjects aged 15-65 years (including 15 and 65 years), regardless of gender; 5. T-cell amplification test pass; 6. expected survival \> 3 months. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who are relapsed/refractory or MRD-positive following treatment with CD19-directed CD3 T-cell engager, inotuzumab ozogamicin, CD19 or/and CD22 CAR-T cell therapy or allo-HSCT; 2. Patients with KMT2A rearrangement 3. patients with recurrence of only isolated extramedullary lesions; 4. combination of other malignant tumors; 5. previously treated with anti-CD19 or/and CD22 or/and CD3 therapies; 6. immunosuppressants use within 2 weeks prior to signing informed consent or plan to immunosuppressants after signing informed consent; 7. Presence of bacterial, fungal, viral, mycoplasmal, or other types of infection that the investigator determines to be difficult to control; 8. Patients with history of hepatitis B (HBsAg positive)or prior hepatitis B infection (defined as HBcAb positive, HBsAg negative) are eligible for enrollment provided that HBV DNA testing by PCR is negative; these subjects must undergo monthly PCR testing for HBV DNA. Patients with positive HCV antibody serology are eligible for enrollment if HCV RNA testing by PCR is negative. Positive for Treponema pallidum antibody (TP-Ab). Positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody. 9. History of severe immediate hypersensitivity reaction to any drug used in this study. 10. history or presence of clinically relevant Central Nervous System (CNS) pathology, such as epilepsy, generalized seizure disorder, paresis, aphasia, stroke, severe brain injuries, dementia, Parkinson's disease, cerebellar disease, organic brain syndrome, or psychosis. 11. Pregnant or lactating women. 12. Patients with primary immunodeficiency.
