This is a Phase 2 Study is to determine the efficacy and safety rate of B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) participants in remission with minimal residual disease (MRD) after KTE-X19 CAR T-cell therapy
- Being tested
- Tecartus

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
TecartusDrug
Also called Brexucabtagene autoleucel, KTE-X19
Tecartus is a CD19 directed CAR T-cell therapy that utilizes CD28 costimulatory and CD3 zeta stimulatory domains. Tecartus is manufactured from purified autologous T-cells via retroviral transduction with a median time to product release of 13 days.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Autologous CAR T-cell immunotherapy | Experimental | Tecartus will be delivered at a target dose of 1x106 cells / kg. For those >100 kg, a flat dose of 1 x108 cells will be used. Tecartus will be administered on day 0, following 1 day of rest from conditioning chemotherapy. Receives: Drug: Tecartus |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Relapse Free Survival (RFS)
The primary endpoint is RFS, defined as the time from KTE-X19 infusion until clinical relapse or death from any cause. Patients proceeding to subsequent anti-cancer therapy, inclusive of allogeneic transplantation, without relapse will be censored in this analysis. Surviving patients not meeting criteria for relapse by the analysis data cutoff date will be censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date.
Measured: Up to 5 years
Secondary outcomes (8)
Molecular Response Rate
Measured as converting to a complete molecular remission following CAR T-cell immunotherapy. Molecular remission is defined as having fewer than 0.0001% clonotype sequences per one million nucleated cells.
Measured: Up to 5 years
Clinical Relapse Rate
Measured as >5% lymphoblasts in the bone marrow and/or the emergence of extramedullary leukemia.
Measured: Up to 5 years
Molecular Relapse Rate
Measured as achieving complete molecular remission at day 28 and followed until 5 years from infusion or the emergence of detectable disease.
Molecular remission is defined as having fewer than 0.0001% clonotype sequences per one million nucleated cells.
Measured: Up to 5 years
Duration of Response (DOR)
Measured as time from enrollment until clinical relapse or death. In the case of death without documented relapse, patients will be censored.
Measured: Up to 5 years
Molecular Relapse Free Survival (MRFS)
Measured by complete molecular remission at day 28 and followed until 5 years from infusion or the emergence of detectable disease.
Molecular remission is defined as having fewer than 0.0001% clonotype sequences per one million nucleated cells.
Measured: Up to 5 years
Overall Survival
Measured as time from date of enrollment to date of death from any cause.
Measured: Up to 5 years

Participants rate of developing Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS)
Measured: Up to 5 years
Rate of Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS)
Participants rate of developing Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS).
Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Tecartus in people with B-Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute 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?
The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Connor Tate (813-745-3783, ICETtrials@moffitt.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Relapse Free Survival (RFS) (time frame: Up to 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Sep 2026.
