Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) that's hard to cure with existing treatments. Candidates must have a suitable stem cell donor, good kidney and liver function, no severe heart or lung issues, and can't be on systemic immunosuppression if they've had a transplant before.
What is being tested?
The study tests a new AML treatment combining modified stem cell transplants from donors with CAR T-cell therapy. The CAR T-cells are designed to target leukemia cells without affecting the newly transplanted 'invisible' healthy blood cells.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the infusion site, flu-like symptoms, changes in blood pressure or heart rate, difficulty breathing, fatigue, fever, chills and risk of infection due to immune system suppression.
