Study Summary

This trial is testing a new treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory AML (a type of leukemia). The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and if it can help eliminate the

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) that has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. It's aimed at those who might be candidates for a stem cell transplant if this therapy reduces their disease.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests CD4CAR, a type of engineered T-cell therapy designed to target AML cells. This Phase I trial will assess the safety and potential effectiveness of CD4CAR as a preparatory step before a stem cell transplant.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune system reactions, infusion-related symptoms, and effects from altered T-cells targeting the body's own cells, but specific side effects will be monitored throughout the trial.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
1. Dose finding: Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as one dose level lower than the Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) of the CD4CAR in AML.
3. Determine the influence of CD4CAR on T regs
Determine the influence of CD4CAR on myeloiod derived suppressor cells, MDSCs

Secondary outcome measures
Describe disease response.
Determine mLSCs frequency before and after the CD4CAR infusion
Quantification of CD4CAR associated cytokines
