Experimental CAR-T therapy targets tough blood cancers in tiny early trial
NCT ID NCT05895994
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase study tested a new cell therapy called RD13-02 in just 2 people with relapsed or refractory CD7-positive blood cancers (like T-cell leukemia or lymphoma). The treatment uses specially engineered immune cells to attack cancer cells. The main goals were to check safety and see how the cells behave in the body. Because it is so small and early, we cannot draw any firm conclusions yet.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- RD13-02 CAR-T cells (a type of immune cell therapy)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for certain hard-to-treat blood cancers.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, tiny study (only 2 people). It is too small to know if the treatment is safe or effective. Many early-stage therapies do not pan out.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 3-70 2. Diagnosis of r/r T-ALL/LBL/AML. 3. CD7 positive expression 4. Bone marrow lymphoblasts ≥5% by morphologic evaluation at screening 5. Creatinine clearance (as estimated by Cockcroft Gault) ≥ 60 mL/min, Serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase(AST) \< 3×upper limit of normal, Total bilirubin \< 1.5×upper limit of normal or ≤1.5mg/dl 6. Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50% . 7. Baseline oxygen saturation ≥ 92% on room air. 8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2. 9. The estimated survival time is more than 3 months. 10. Subjects or their legal guardians volunteer to participate in the study and sign the informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects with concomitant genetic syndromes associated with bone marrow failure states. 2. Isolated extramedullary lesions 3. Subjects with some cardiac conditions will be excluded. 4. With uncontrolled active central nervous system leukemia (CNSL), cerebrospinal fluid grade Central Nervous System3(CNS3). 5. History of traumatic brain injury, consciousness disturbance, epilepsy, cerebrovascular ischemia, and cerebrovascular hemorrhagic disease, which might compromise the ability of the subject to compliance with the obligations under the protocol. 6. History of malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma. 7. Primary immune deficiency. 8. Presence of uncontrolled infections. 9. Subjects with some anticancer therapy before CAR-T infusion will be excluded. 10. Active uncontrolled acute infections. 11. Known history of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); active or latent hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis. 12. Subjects who are receiving systemic steroid therapy prior to screening. 14.Having received live/attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to screening. 15.History of allergy to any component of the cell therapy product. 16.Pregnant or breastfeeding women 17.Any other issue which, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the subjects ineligible for the study.
