CTD402 for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
(TENACITY-01 Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to test whether a new treatment, CTD402, is safe and effective for individuals with a specific type of blood cancer called relapsed or refractory T-ALL/LBL. Participants will receive a single infusion of CTD402 and undergo close monitoring to assess their cancer's response. This trial is ideal for those whose blood cancer has returned or not responded after at least two standard treatments. To join, participants must have experienced this condition after multiple treatments and have a specific donor match ready. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that CTD402 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that CTD402, a type of CAR T-cell therapy, is being tested for safety in treating certain blood cancers, specifically relapsed or hard-to-treat T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL). Earlier studies found that patients generally tolerated CTD402 well. Some participants experienced mild to moderate side effects, which is common with many treatments, while serious side effects occurred less frequently.
This trial is in the early stages, focusing on the treatment's safety and potential risks. Current data suggest CTD402 could be safe, but further research is necessary to confirm this. Participants will be closely monitored to address any side effects promptly.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Unlike the standard treatments for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, which often involve chemotherapy and radiation, CTD402 offers a novel approach through cell infusion. This experimental therapy uses engineered cells that are designed to target and destroy cancerous cells more precisely. Researchers are excited about CTD402 because it promises to minimize damage to healthy cells, potentially leading to fewer side effects and improved patient outcomes.
What evidence suggests that CTD402 might be an effective treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
Research shows that CTD402, which participants in this trial will receive, is a new type of CAR T-cell therapy that could help treat T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and lymphoma that have returned or are not responding to other treatments. Similar therapies have shown good results in attacking cancer cells, suggesting CTD402 might also be effective. This treatment uses specially designed immune cells to find and destroy cancer cells. Although complete clinical data on CTD402 is not yet available, it is designed to assist patients who haven't had success with standard treatments. Early signs suggest it could be a helpful option for those dealing with difficult cases of T-ALL and lymphoma.14567
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for individuals over 12 years old with a body weight of at least 40 kg who have T-ALL/LBL that has returned or hasn't responded after two treatments. They should be past their first remission within a year, or more than 100 days post-allogeneic HSCT, with adequate organ function and specific bone marrow conditions.Inclusion Criteria
