Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current capacity of participants accepted for this trial?
"Affirmative. According to information published on clinicaltrials.gov, this medical trial is actively recruiting potential participants and has been since its posting date of May 5th 2022. As of the most recent update in July 21st 2022, 33 patients are sought from a single site."
What are the objectives of this research project?
"This clinical trial will assess the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) over a 1 year period, while also assessing secondary metrics such as CAR T cell persistence, expansion and progression-free survival. Quantitative rates with 90% Clopper and Pearson binomial confidence intervals shall be established to evaluate these outcomes."
To what extent are Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cells hazardous to patients?
"Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cells have been scored a 1 due to limited data surrounding their efficacy and safety. This is because it's currently in its first phase of clinical trials."
Are there still opportunities for individuals to enroll in this experiment?
"According to the clinicaltrials.gov database, this investigation is in search of participants and was published on May 5th 2022 with its latest update occurring July 21st 2022."
