CAR-T cell therapy targeting CD33 and CD123 for treating acute myeloid leukemia

Official title: Sequential CAR-T Cell Infusion Targeting CD33 and CD123 for Refractory/Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

Run by Essen Biotech · NCT06420063 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new CAR-T cell therapy that targets specific markers in the blood to see if it can help people with acute myeloid leukemia who haven't responded to other treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include patients aged over 6 months with confirmed expression of CD33 or CD123 in their AML cells and a Karnofsky performance status score higher than 80.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe uncontrolled medical conditions or those who do not meet the eligibility criteria may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) immunotherapy targeting CD33 and CD123 in patients with acute myelocytic leukemia (AML). It is an open, single-arm study that aims to assess the feasibility of using CAR-T cells sequentially against these targets in patients who have relapsed or refractory AML. The primary focus is on monitoring adverse effects, including cytokine storm responses, and evaluating disease status post-treatment. The study also seeks to understand the persistence and function of CAR-T cells in the AML patient population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this therapy could provide a new treatment option for patients with relapsed or refractory acute myelocytic leukemia.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with CAR-T therapies targeting different antigens, suggesting potential for success with this novel approach.
