Immune cell injection takes on Hard-to-Treat leukemia
NCT ID NCT06234904
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests an experimental cell therapy called IBR733 for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has returned or not responded to standard treatment. The therapy involves giving immune cells by vein in repeated cycles. The main goals are to check safety, find the best dose, and see if the treatment can shrink or clear the leukemia.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- IBR733 cell injection (immune cells given by IV)
- What this could lead to
- If safe and effective, this could point toward a new cell-based treatment option for people with hard-to-treat acute myeloid leukemia.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, small Phase 1 trial focused on safety, not proof of cure. The treatment may cause side effects or fail to control the leukemia.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects volunteer to participate in this clinical study, are fully aware of the study and have signed the Informed Consent Form (ICF). Subjects are willing to follow and able to complete all trial procedures. 2. Age: 18-74 (both inclusive), female or male. 3. Patients with AML (including secondary AML) diagnosed according to the WHO 2022 criteria. 4. Patients with AML who meet one of the following criteria: (1) Relapsed AML: reoccurrence of leukemia cells in peripheral blood or ≥5% blasts in bone marrow after complete remission (excluding other causes such as bone marrow regrowth after consolidation chemotherapy); (2) Refractory AML: treatment-naive patients who failed to respond to 2 courses of standard treatment; The patients relapsed within 12 months after consolidated intensive treatment; Patients who relapsed after 12 months but failed to respond to conventional chemotherapy (only once); Patients who are relapsed twice; (3) Patients received up to 3 additional cycles of chemotherapy or targeted therapy after the diagnosis of relapsed/refractory AML. 5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score ≤2. 6. Subjects of reproductive age and their partners should agree to have no family planning and to use effective contraceptive methods for 6 months from signing the ICF until the last dose of the study drug is administered. 7. Expected survival time ≥3 months. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Acute promyelocytic leukemia. 2. Chronic myeloid leukemia with myeloid blast crisis. 3. Clinically symptomatic central nervous system involvement (no need for lumbar puncture). 4. Subjects who have undergone an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or other organ transplantation. 5. Subjects who have undergone autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation less than 3 months before the first dose of treatment. 6. Subjects who have received cell immunotherapy such as chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells (CAR-T), chimeric antigen receptor-natural killer cells (CAR-NK), and T cell receptor gene-modified T cells (TCR-T). 7. Subjects who have received systemic antitumor therapy (except hydroxyurea) within 2 weeks before the first dose of study drug, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, etc.. 8. Subjects who have had other malignant tumors within 3 years before inclusion, except for any type of carcinoma in situ that has been cured in the past and cured skin basal cell carcinoma or skin squamous cell carcinoma. 9. The absolute peripheral blood blast count (ABC) \> 40.0×10\^9/L (ABC= total white blood cell count × blast %). The total white blood cell count can be controlled with hydroxyurea, but it must be stopped three days before the first dose of study drug or lymphodepletion. 10. Organ function: (1) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)\>3 times upper limit of normal (ULN); If AST was elevated due to leukemia but liver function was normal (e.g., normal ALT, alkaline phosphatase, and direct/indirect bilirubin measurements), participants could be enrolled after investigator consent was obtained; (2) Serum total bilirubin \>2.5×ULN (not applicable to patients with Gilbert's syndrome); (3) Creatinine clearance \<45mL/min (estimated by Cockcroft-Gault formula) or creatinine \>2×ULN; (4) Activated partial thromboplastin time \>1.5×ULN or international normalized ratio \>1.5×ULN. 11. Subjects whose cardiac function and disease meet one of the following conditions within 6 months before the first administration: (1) Any risk factors that increase QTcF (Fridericia formula) interval prolongation, such as uncorrectable hypokalemia, hereditary long QT syndrome, and use of drugs that prolong the QTcF interval; (2) New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification ≥Grade 3; (3) Unstable angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction; (4) Left ventricular ejection fraction \<50% in resting state; (5) Clinically significant pericardial effusion determined by echocardiography. 12. Subjects who have a history of autoimmune diseases (such as Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.) that require systemic immunosuppressive/systemic disease modulating drugs within 2 years before the first administration. 13. Active hepatitis B (e.g., DNA copy number \> 1000 cps/mL if only hepatitis B surface antigen is positive), active hepatitis C virus infection (anti-hepatitis C antibody positive and HCV RNA positive), or human immunodeficiency virus antibody positive. 14. Women who are pregnant or lactating. 15. Subjects who have received major surgery (for the definition of major surgery, refer to the Level 3 and 4 surgeries specified in the Administrative Measures for the Clinical Application of Medical Technology) within 28 days before the first administration. 16. Subjects who have a history of alcohol, drug use or drug abuse in the past year; 17. Subjects who have participated in other clinical trials and received any unmarketed investigational drug or treatment within 4 weeks prior to first use of the study drug. 18. Subjects who are known to be allergic to the main components of the study drug. 19. Subjects who have other severe, acute, or chronic diseases or laboratory abnormalities that may increase the risk of participating in the study and receiving the study drug, or may interfere with the interpretation of study results.
