Trial Now Recruiting: Orphan Indications for CD19 Redirected Autologous T Cells (NCT04276870)
WHY IT MATTERS
This trial is actively recruiting children and young adults with hard-to-treat B-ALL subtypes (hypodiploid, t(17;19), KMT2A, and CNS relapse cases) — these patients have limited treatment options and this study offers access to an advanced cell therapy approach.
Researchers are testing a new cancer treatment called CART19 for children and young adults with specific types of blood cancer (B-ALL). The treatment uses the patient's own immune cells that are modified in a lab to fight cancer cells. This trial is looking for patients with rare, high-risk forms of this cancer, including some cases that have come back after previous treatment.
NCT ID: NCT04276870 Status: RECRUITING Conditions: Pediatric and Young Adult Patientswith Hypodiploid or t(17;19) B-ALL, Infants With Very High Risk KMT2A B-ALL, Patients With Central Nervous System Relapse Who Did Not Receive Cranial Radiation or Bone Marrow Transplantation Phase: PHASE2 Enrollment: 133 Sponsor: Stephan Grupp MD PhD Summary: This is an open-label, four-cohort, phase 2 study to determine the efficacy of CART19 in pediatric and young adult patientswith hypodiploid (Cohort A) or t(17;19) B-ALL (Cohort B), infants with very high risk KMT2A B-ALL (Cohort C), and in patients with central nervous system (CNS) relapse who did not receive cranial radiation (XRT) or bone marrow transplantation (BMT) (Cohort D).
YOU CAN ACT ON THIS
If your child has one of the specified B-ALL types, contact your oncologist immediately to discuss whether NCT04276870 eligibility criteria apply and how to inquire about enrollment at participating centers.
