About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Anti-CLL1-CD33-NKG2D Bicephali CAR-T Cells in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

This study is a clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new type of CAR-T cell therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The treatment involves modifying the patient's own T cells to target and eliminate leukemia cells more effectively. This is a cutting-edge therapy using anti-CLL1-CD33-NKG2D Bicephali CAR-T cells.

The primary goal of this study is to determine whether this treatment can improve survival and reduce the symptoms of AML in patients whose disease has not responded to standard treatments. Participants will be closely monitored for side effects and the overall effectiveness of the treatment.

Eligibility for this study includes patients who have been diagnosed with relapsed or refractory AML and have not had success with previous therapies. Participation in this study will provide access to an experimental treatment that may offer benefits beyond current treatment options, but also comes with risks.

Patients, their families, and healthcare providers will be provided with full information about the procedure, potential benefits, and risks, and they will have the opportunity to ask questions before deciding whether to participate.

Read the detailed description

This clinical trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel CAR-T cell therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The treatment involves the infusion of genetically modified anti-CLL1-CD33-NKG2D Bicephali CAR-T cells, a type of immunotherapy that enhances the body's immune system to target and destroy cancerous leukemia cells. The therapy is designed to specifically target AML cells by utilizing unique markers (CLL1, CD33, and NKG2D) on the surface of the leukemia cells.

Participants in this study will undergo T cell collection, which involves harvesting their own T cells through a procedure known as apheresis. These cells will then be modified in the laboratory to express the specific CAR-T receptors. Once the cells are modified, they will be re-infused back into the patient, with the goal of activating the immune system to fight off the leukemia.

This study will closely monitor adverse effects, including any side effects of the CAR-T therapy, such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or neurological effects, which are known risks of CAR-T treatments. Patients will be followed for a designated period to track response rates, including the reduction of leukemia cells, progression-free survival, and overall survival.

Participants will also undergo regular health assessments, including laboratory tests, imaging studies, and routine examinations, to evaluate both the effectiveness of the treatment and potential complications.

Eligibility for this study includes adult patients with relapsed/refractory AML, meaning their disease has returned after previous treatments or has not responded to standard therapies. This trial provides an opportunity for patients who have limited treatment options to receive access to an advanced, experimental treatment that may improve their outcomes.

Patients will be fully informed about the potential risks and benefits of participating in this study, and their participation will be voluntary. Detailed informed consent will be obtained before any study-related procedures are performed.

    Also called anti-CLL1-CD33-NKG2D Bicephali CAR-T cells

    This arm of the study involves the administration of anti-CLL1-CD33-NKG2D Bicephali CAR-T cells to patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patients will undergo apheresis to collect their T cells, which will then be genetically modified in the laboratory to express the anti-CLL1, CD33, and NKG2D receptors. The modified CAR-T cells will be reinfused into the patient to target and eliminate AML cells. This experimental treatment aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and immune response associated with this novel CAR-T therapy.

    Key endpoints include overall survival, progression-free survival, and response rates (such as complete remission or partial remission). Participants will be closely monitored for potential side effects, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurological toxicity, which are known risks of CAR-T cell therapy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of Complete Remission (CR) or Partial Remission (PR) in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory AML Following CAR-T Therapy

    The primary outcome measure is the rate of complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) following the administration of anti-CLL1-CD33-NKG2D Bicephali CAR-T cells. CR and PR will be defined according to standard hematologic criteria, including complete resolution or reduction of leukemia cell counts and improvement in bone marrow function. This measure will be assessed using bone marrow biopsies and flow cytometry

    Measured: The primary outcome will be assessed at 3 months post-treatment for each participant, with additional follow-up assessments at 6 months and 12 months to monitor remission status
