New universal CAR t therapy targets tough blood cancers
NCT ID NCT05995028
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (called universal CAR T cells) for people with certain blood cancers, including T-cell leukemia and lymphoma. The therapy targets a protein called CD7 found on cancer cells. The study will check if the treatment is safe and how well it works in up to 30 participants aged 6 months and older.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age older than 6 months. 2. Confirmed expression of CD7 and additional surface antigens in the cancer cells by immuno-histochemical staining or flow cytometry. 3. Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score is higher than 80 and life expectancy \> 3 months. 4. Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements: cardiac ejection fraction ≥ 50%, oxygen saturation ≥ 90%, creatinine ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 × upper limit of normal, total bilirubin ≤ 2.0mg/dL. 5. Hgb≥80g/L. 6. No cell separation contraindications. 7. Abilities to understand and the willingness to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Sever illness or medical condition, which would not permit the patient to be managed according to the protocol, including active uncontrolled infection. 2. Active bacterial, fungal or viral infection not controlled by adequate treatment. 3. Known HIV or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. 4. Pregnant or nursing women may not participate. 5.
