A-CAR028 for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
Official title: A Study of A-CAR028 Treatment in Subjects With Relapsed/ Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Run by First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University · NCT07198867 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will try A-CAR028, a CAR-T cell therapy, in adults with relapsed or refractory AML to see if it is safe and helps control the leukemia.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–75 with relapsed or refractory AML, ECOG 0–1, adequate organ function, and expected survival beyond 12 weeks are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia, mixed phenotype or undifferentiated leukemia, only extramedullary disease, CNS involvement, recent transplant, severe cardiac disease, or known allergies to the product components are unlikely to be eligible or benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a single-center, open-label Phase 1 study testing A-CAR028 in adults with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. Eligible participants undergo screening, leukapheresis for collection of their T cells, manufacturing of the A-CAR028 product, baseline testing, lymphodepleting chemotherapy, and a single A-CAR028 infusion followed by dose-limiting toxicity observation and scheduled follow-up visits. The primary focus is on safety and tolerability, with secondary measures of anti-leukemia activity and durability of response. The study is conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, with collaboration from Shanghai AbelZeta Ltd.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, A-CAR028 could produce remissions or longer disease control in some patients with relapsed or refractory AML who have limited treatment options.
How similar studies have gone: CAR-T approaches in AML are experimental and have shown only limited and early signals of benefit to date, so this approach remains largely unproven.
