CD19x22 CAR T Cells for the Treatment of Pediatric Patients with Relapsed and/or Refractory B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Trial Status: active

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and effectiveness of CD19x22 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells in treating pediatric patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) and/or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient’s blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient’s cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a CAR. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving CD19x22 CAR T cells may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating pediatric patients with relapsed and/or refractory B-ALL.
