Cell Therapy for High-Risk T-Cell Malignancies

This study is testing a cell therapy called CD7.CAR/28zeta CAR T cells for people with high-risk T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), T-cell acute lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LLy), or T-non-Hodgkin lymphoma (T-NHL). These are types of blood cancer. The treatment involves taking your own T cells (special infection-fighting blood cells), modifying them in the lab to better target cancer cells, and then giving them back to you. Researchers want to see if this treatment is safe and what dose works best. They will measure how many patients experience serious side effects within four weeks. The study aims to enroll 45 participants between the ages of None and 75 years old.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 45 participants and will test three different dose levels of the CD7.CAR/28zeta CAR T cells.
What's involved
You will first provide blood for the creation of the T cells. After receiving the cells, you will be followed for a total of 15 years to monitor for long-term side effects.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for a total of 15 years to monitor for long-term side effects of gene transfer.

Where you'd take part

This study runs at 2 sites. They're the same protocol — you choose where, and that choice sets who your contact draft is addressed to.

    To evaluate the safety of escalating doses of autologous peripheral blood T lymphocytes (ATLs) genetically modified to express chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) targeting the CD7 molecule (CD7.CAR) in combination with lymphodepletion in patients with relapsed/refractory T-cell malignancies.
