Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment for kids with leukemia that has relapsed or is resistant to other treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults aged 1-29 with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Participants must have adequate organ function, documented CD22 tumor expression, and agree to birth control if applicable. Excluded are those with HIV, active hepatitis B/C, certain CNS diseases, use of systemic steroids/immunosuppressants (with exceptions), pregnancy/nursing women, recent investigational drug use.
What is being tested?
The study tests a single dose of CART22 cells in pediatric patients. These cells are modified T cells engineered to target CD22 on leukemia cells using a special receptor called 'chimeric antigen receptors' with co-stimulatory domains TCRζ/4-1BB.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune system reactions leading to inflammation in various organs, infusion-related reactions similar to allergic responses, fatigue due to the body's reaction to treatment, and increased risk of infections.
