Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment involving CAR T cells (a type of immune cell) for people with B-ALL (a type of blood cancer) who are in first complete remission with minimal residual disease. The trial will enroll 10 patients and assess them for safety and tolerability of the treatment.

Who is the study for?
Adults with B-cell ALL in first complete remission but still showing minimal residual disease can join this trial. They must be fit enough for treatment (ECOG ≤ 2), have adequate organ function, and not be pregnant or planning pregnancy. Excluded are those with previous CAR T therapy, active CNS leukemia, uncontrolled infections, HIV/hepatitis B/C, certain heart conditions, or a history of other cancers within 3 years.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing UCD19 CAR T cell therapy's safety and effectiveness in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who are in remission but have some remaining cancer cells. It involves collecting patients' immune cells, modifying them to target cancer cells better and then infusing them back into the patient after chemotherapy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to immune system activation such as fever and fatigue (cytokine release syndrome), neurological issues like confusion or seizures (neurotoxicity), blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk, and infusion-related reactions.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Safety of UCD19 CAR T in Adults With B-ALL in first complete remission with MRD Positivity: occurrence and frequency of Adverse Events (AEs)
Safety of UCD19 CAR T in Adults With B-ALL in first complete remission with MRD Positivity: occurrence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Secondary outcome measures
Event Free Survival (EFS) at 12 and 24 months post UCD19 CAR T infusion
Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy
Overall response rate (ORR) at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post UCD19 CAR T infusion as measured by MRD.
Other outcome measures
Assessment of minimal residual disease by next generation sequencing
Duration of B-cell aplasia

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: UCD19 CAR T InfusionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by infusion of UCD19 CAR T cells. Infusion is subject to a seven (7) day delay following chemotherapy completion if needed for resolution of clinical toxicities or to allow for product release.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How perilous is the administration of CD19 Directed CAR T Cell to patients?

"Due to the lack of evidence in Phase 1 trials, our team rates CD19 Directed CAR T Cell's safety as a low score (1) on a scale from 1-3."

Answered by AI

Is enrollment currently available for this investigation?

"According to data hosted on clinicaltrials.gov, the recruitment process for this medical study has been paused since September 12th 2022. Nonetheless, there are still 1,497 other trials currently enrolling patients."
