Study Summary

This trial is testing WU-CART-007 cells in patients with relapsed/refractory AML or T-NHL who have CD7 on the surface of their tumor cells.

Who is the study for?
Adults with certain blood cancers like T-cell lymphoma or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that have come back or didn't respond to treatment can join. They must have CD7+ cancer cells, be in good physical condition, and not pregnant. They need proper organ function and no other effective treatments available.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing WU-CART-007, a new type of CAR T-cell therapy for blood cancers expressing CD7. It's designed to avoid killing itself (fratricide-resistant) and prevent Graft-versus-Host-Disease by lacking certain cell receptors.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune system reactions, symptoms from low blood counts due to bone marrow suppression, fatigue, fever, and risk of infection. Specific side effects related to this novel therapy are monitored closely.

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Part B Cohort B: Dose Expansion WU-CART-007 AMLExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients will receive preparative lymphodepletion in the week prior to WU-CART-007, after which WU-CART-007 will be infused 3 days following the last dose of chemotherapy at the recommended phase II dose.
Group II: Part B Cohort A: Dose Expansion WU-CART-007 T-NHLExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients will receive preparative lymphodepletion in the week prior to WU-CART-007, after which WU-CART-007 will be infused 3 days following the last dose of chemotherapy at the recommended phase II dose.
Group III: Part A Cohort B: Dose Escalation WU-CART-007 AMLExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients will receive preparative lymphodepletion in the week prior to WU-CART-007, after which WU-CART-007 will be infused 3 days following the last dose of chemotherapy at the assigned dose level.
Group IV: Part A Cohort A: Dose Escalation WU-CART-007 T-NHLExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients will receive preparative lymphodepletion in the week prior to WU-CART-007, after which WU-CART-007 will be infused 3 days following the last dose of chemotherapy at the assigned dose level.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Has the FDA sanctioned WU-CART-007 for utilization?

"Our internal safety rating for WU-CART-007 is a 1, due to its being at the experimental stage of development with limited efficacy and safety data."

Answered by AI

Are there still vacancies available to join the investigation?

"This trial, which was initially posted on the 31st of December 2022 and last edited nearly a year later, is not actively searching for participants according to clinicaltrials.gov records. However, there are still 3136 other studies that are currently recruiting candidates."
