Summary

This trial is testing a new treatment for leukemia that uses special blood cells to target proteins specific to the cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) who have undergone a stem cell transplant but still face the risk of cancer returning or not responding to treatment. Eligible participants must have a life expectancy of at least 6 weeks, stable vital signs, and an available donor-derived T cell line. They should be treated within specific hospitals in Texas and agree to use effective birth control post-treatment.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether special blood cells called multiTAA-specific T cells can target and kill leukemia cells after being infused into patients post-stem cell transplant. These T cells are trained to recognize certain proteins found on most ALL cancer cells, aiming to find the highest safe dose for these patients.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects aren't specified in this summary, but similar treatments often involve immune reactions, fatigue, fever, chills or risks associated with infusions such as infection at the injection site.
