Experimental cell therapy targets tough blood cancers and anemia
NCT ID NCT07205315
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This early-phase study is testing a new cell therapy called GT801 in 28 adults with relapsed or hard-to-treat B-cell blood cancers (like leukemia and lymphoma) or autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). The therapy uses a patient's own immune cells, modified to attack CD19-positive cells. The main goals are to check safety and see if the treatment shrinks tumors or controls the anemia.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GT801 Injection (a cell therapy made from the patient's own immune cells, engineered to target CD19-positive cells)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for patients with hard-to-treat B-cell blood cancers and autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early (Phase 1) trial with only 28 participants, so it is too soon to know if the treatment is safe or effective. Cell therapies can cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 18 to 75 years (inclusive), male or female; * Participants with refractory or relapsed acute B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (B-NHL) confirmed by the WHO 2016 Classification, or Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) diagnosed in accordance with international consensus; * Disease progression or recurrence after at least second-line drug treatment; * CD19 positivity confirmed by flow cytometry and/or histopathology (excluding autoimmune hemolytic anemia); * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0-1(excluding autoimmune hemolytic anemia); * Expected survival period \> 12 weeks * For participants with hematological malignancies, the following requirements must be met: For any prior systemic therapy (excluding immune checkpoint inhibitors), an interval of at least 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) must have elapsed between the last dose of such therapy and the planned initiation of study treatment. For any prior treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies such as pembrolizumab, OX40 agonists, 4-1BB agonists, etc.), an interval of at least 3 half-lives or 28 days (whichever is shorter) must have elapsed between the last dose of such treatment and the planned initiation of study treatment. • For participants with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), the following requirements must be met: The total course of glucocorticoid therapy shall be no less than 3 months (except for those who are unable to tolerate due to severe infection, fracture, etc.); Rituximab (100 mg or 375 mg/m²) shall be administered for at least 4 times, with hemoglobin (HB) remaining below 100 g/L at 12 weeks after the first dose; or rituximab (1000 mg per administration) shall be administered for at least 2 times, with hemoglobin (HB) remaining below 100 g/L at 12 weeks after the first dose; oral administration of any one of the following drugs including mycophenolate mofetil, cyclosporine, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, etc., shall last for at least 4 months or be discontinued due to intolerance; or intravenous therapy with fludarabine or cyclophosphamide injection shall be administered for at least 2 cycles; or subcutaneous injection of bortezomib shall be administered for at least 4 times. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with a history of central nervous system leukemia/lymphoma, or those with central nervous system (CNS) leukemia/lymphoma shown by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or PET-CT intracranial imaging during the screening period, or those with detectable malignant cells in cerebrospinal fluid or brain metastases; * Subjects with myelofibrosis, myelodysplastic syndromes, aplastic anemia, or other malignant hematological diseases; * Subjects with a history of or current comorbidities that cause coagulation disorders and high bleeding risk, such as disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), decompensated cirrhosis, esophagogastric varices, etc.; * Subjects who experienced severe bleeding (defined as bleeding uncontrollable by medication or local therapy) within 4 weeks prior to screening, or have life-threatening bleeding (associated with thrombocytopenia) currently, or are expected to require emergency treatment within one week after enrollment; * Subjects with secondary AIHA induced by drugs or infections; * Subjects with hereditary hemolytic diseases or other acquired hemolytic diseases. * Participants who undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with therapeutic intent within 12 weeks of planned GT801 infusion; * If the participant has a history of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the time since the participant received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is ≤ 6 months; * Administration of hormonal drugs in any form within 14 days prior to infusion (except for AIHA participants requiring such drugs for hemolysis control and those receiving them for preconditioning). * Active hepatitis B and/or active hepatitis C (HCV RNA positive); participants who are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen and/or core antibody but have HBV-DNA test results within the normal range can be included; participants who are positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody but with HCV RNA test results within the normal range are eligible for inclusion. * Presence of central nervous system diseases or a history thereof, such as epileptic seizures, cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage, dementia, cerebellar diseases, or any autoimmune diseases involving the central nervous system; * Presence of any of the following conditions within 6 months before signing the informed consent form: uncontrolled congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III-IV), angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, stroke (except lacunar infarction), coronary/peripheral artery bypass surgery, arrhythmias with significant clinical significance (as judged by the investigator) including but not limited to ventricular arrhythmias, significantly prolonged QT interval (recommended QTc ≥ 500ms corrected by Bazett's method, specifically judged by the investigator), poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \> 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \> 100 mmHg), poorly controlled diabetes, pulmonary embolism, diffuse pulmonary lesions, pulmonary insufficiency, or medical conditions that the investigator deems unsuitable for the participant to participate in this clinical study; * Prior receipt of gene-modified or gene-edited cellular therapy products (except for autologous immune cell therapy products without gene modification or editing, provided that the interval from the last administration to the first dose of GT801 is more than 1 year). * A history of autoimmune diseases (such as Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus) that caused end-organ damage or required systemic immunosuppression/systemic disease-modifying agents within the past 2 years.
