No Placebo-Only Group
Summary
This trial tests a type of cancer treatment that changes a patient's immune cells in the lab to attack their cancer cells.
Who is the study for?
Adults aged 55 or older with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in first remission can join this trial. They must have a good performance status, proper liver and kidney function, and no severe infections like HIV or hepatitis. Women of childbearing age need a negative pregnancy test and agree to use birth control.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and optimal dose of modified T cells (CD19-CAR T cells) that are designed to target leukemia cells in older adults. It involves taking the patient's own immune cells, modifying them in a lab, growing large numbers, and infusing them back into the patient.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions at infusion site, flu-like symptoms, fatigue, fever, headache, low blood pressure which could lead to dizziness or fainting; there may also be risk for more serious complications affecting different organs.
