Study of Anti-CD33 Chimeric Antigen Receptor-Expressing T Cells (CD33CART) in Children and Young Adults With Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (NCT03971799)

Phase 1/2 Study of Anti-CD33 Chimeric Antigen Receptor-Expressing T Cells (CD33CART) in Children and Young Adults With Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Phase1 / Phase2 💊 Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase 1/2 trial aims to determine the safety and feasibility of antiCD33 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) expressing T cells (CD33CART) in children and adolescents/young adults (AYAs) with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The trial will be done in two phases: Phase 1 will determine the maximum tolerated dose of CD33CART cells using a 3+3 trial design, with dose-escalation for autologous products separated from dose-escalation for an allogeneic arm. Phase 2 is an expansion phase designed to evaluate the rate of response to CD33CART.
