  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Patient Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects in CR must have a history of chemotherapy refractory disease defined as progression or stable disease after one line of chemotherapy, or relapsed disease after achieving prior CR OR must have other high risk ALL features including: CRLF2 rearrangement, Ph-like phenotype, MLL/KMT2a rearrangement, or hypodiploid karyotype.
  • Subjects with persistent or relapsed minimal residual disease (MRD) (by flow cytometry, PCR, FISH, or next generation sequencing) require verification of MRD in the peripheral blood or bone marrow on two occasions at least 2 weeks apart.

Patient Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of other malignancy unless disease free for at least 3 years. At the discretion of the Principal Investigator, subjects in remission for 1-2 years prior to enrollment may be deemed eligible after considering the nature of other malignancy, likelihood of recurrence for one year following therapy, and impact of prior treatment on risk of CD19/CD22-CAR T cells and Treg graft. Subjects in remission <1 year are not eligible. The following exceptions apply:
  • Nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ (e.g. cervix, bladder, breast) is eligible.
  • Hormonal therapy in subjects in remission >1 year will be allowed.
  • Patients who have undergone a prior allogeneic or autologous stem cell transplant.
  • Recipient positive anti-donor HLA antibodies against a mismatched allele in the selected donor determined by either:
  • a positive crossmatch test of any titer (by complement-dependent cytotoxicity or flow cytometric testing), or
  • the presence of anti-donor HLA antibody to any of the following HLA loci: HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1, -DQA1, -DPB1, or -DPA1, with mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) >1000 by solid phase immunoassay

  • Planned pharmaceutical in vivo or ex vivo T cell depletion, e.g., post-transplant cyclophosphamide (Cy), peri-transplant anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), or alemtuzumab. For patients that have previously been exposed to a T cell-depleting agent, a 5-half-life washout of the agent must occur prior to planned Transplant Day 0.
  • Hyperleukocytosis (≥ 50,000 blasts/μL) or rapidly progressive disease that in the estimation of the investigator and sponsor would compromise ability to complete study therapy.
  • History of myocardial infarction, cardiac angioplasty or stenting, unstable angina, or other clinically significant cardiac disease within 12 months of enrollment.
  • Pregnant or breast feeding
  • Patients with known autoimmune disease requiring the use of systemic immunosuppressive therapy within the last year
  • Presence of a seizure disorder, cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage, dementia, cerebellar disease, or any autoimmune disease with CNS involvement that in the judgment of the investigator may impair the ability to evaluate neurotoxicity.
  • Any medical condition that in the judgement of the investigator is likely to interfere with assessment of safety or efficacy of study treatment

Donor Exclusion Criteria

  • Evidence of active infection
  • Seropositive for HIV-1 or -2, HTLV-1 or -2
  • Positive PCR test results indicating acute or chronic HBV infection. Patients with isolated HBV core antibody positivity will not be excluded. Donors whose HBV infection status cannot be determined conclusively by serologic test results (www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hbv/pdfs/serologicchartv8.pdf) must be negative for HBV by PCR to be eligible for study participation.

  • Unprotected sex within the past 6 months with a person who is known to have either of the risk factors listed above (donor exclusion criterion 5.a or 5.b)
  • Donors determined to be ineligible based on the results of Zika virus screening may be determined to be eligible if:
  • The donor has no signs or symptoms consistent with active Zika virus infection and
  • Either of the following is true: i. The donor is a first-degree or second-degree blood relative of the recipient ii. Urgent medical need, meaning no comparable human cell product is available and the recipient is likely to suffer death or serious morbidity without the human cell product, as attested by the Investigator.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding female
  • Medical, physical, or psychological reason that would place the donor at increased risk for complications from growth factor or leukapheresis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Allogeneic donor-derived T-cells transduced with bivalent lentiviral vector (CD19/CD22-BBz) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and Treg CD34+HSPC (Orca-T) in people with Lymphoid Leukemia, run by Melody Smith at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Sep 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Patients Who Received Donor CD19/CD22-CAR T Cells (time frame: 42 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05507827, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Sep 2026.
