ZUMA-4 Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new treatment for kids with leukemia or non-Hodgkin lymphoma who have relapsed or are refractory to other treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and adolescents up to 21 years old with relapsed/refractory B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia or B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. They must have a certain level of disease in the bone marrow, be intolerant or unresponsive to specific therapies, weigh at least 6 kg, and have good performance status and organ function. Those with CNS involvement, other cancers within 3 years (except some skin cancers), severe allergies, or recent heart issues cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of brexucabtagene autoleucel (KTE-X19) combined with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide chemotherapy in young patients who haven't responded well to previous treatments. The focus is now on those with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma as recruitment for acute B-cell ALL has ended.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions to medication components, organ inflammation due to immune response, fatigue from treatment burden, digestive disturbances from chemotherapy drugs used alongside KTE-X19 therapy.

How extensive is the participant base of this medical research?

"This research is not currently seeking participants. It was initially posted February 1st 2016 and subsequently updated November 2nd 2022. Currently, there are 2901 trials searching for individuals with relapsed/refractory b-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 890 studies actively recruiting patients for Brexucabtagene Autoleucel (KTE-X19)."

Answered by AI

Are any of the sites hosting this trial located in North America?

"This trial is currently being conducted at 15 medical centres, including those based in Honolulu, Los Angeles and Miami. To minimise the need for travel when taking part in this study, it may be prudent to select a site closest to you."

Answered by AI

Has Brexucabtagene Autoleucel (KTE-X19) been tested in clinical trials prior to this one?

"Brexucabtagene Autoleucel (KTE-X19) was initially investigated at City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center in 1997. In the current day, there have been 1275 studies completed and 890 still ongoing at various locations around the world; a majority of which are based out of Honolulu, Hawaii."

Answered by AI

Are there any vacancies left for this trial?

"Clinicaltrials.gov's information indicates that this medical study is no longer open for recruitment, as it was initially posted in February 2016 and last updated on November 2nd 2022. Despite this, there are still 3,791 other clinical trials actively searching for patients at the moment."
