Study Summary

This trial will study a new cancer treatment that uses a person's own immune cells to target and kill cancer cells. The treatment will be given to patients who have been previously excluded from other trials, such as children with cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults aged 1 month to 25 years with B-cell Acute Lymphoid Leukemia or Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma that has relapsed multiple times, failed standard treatments, or occurred after a bone marrow transplant. Participants must have CD19 expression and be able to perform daily activities at least half of the time.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a new CAR-T cell therapy targeting CD19 on cancer cells in pediatric patients. It aims to provide quicker access to treatment for those who've had limited options before, including kids with B-cell NHL or those experiencing their first relapse.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include severe immune reactions, difficulty breathing, organ inflammation, fever-like symptoms due to cytokine release syndrome (a common reaction where the body releases too many cytokines into the blood too quickly), and increased risk of infections.
