Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 70 with relapsed or refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia who have not achieved complete remission after standard treatments.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are not diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia or those who have not relapsed after standard treatment may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study is an early-phase, single-arm, open-label trial designed to assess the safety and efficacy of human-derived anti-CI135 CAR-T cell injections in patients with relapsed or refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Participants will receive escalating doses of the CAR-T cells, and the study will monitor their safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics. The trial aims to gather preliminary data on the effectiveness of this innovative treatment approach for AML patients who have not responded to standard therapies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat relapsed or refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies involving CAR-T cell therapies have shown promising results in treating various hematological malignancies, suggesting potential success for this novel approach in AML.

* Positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) with HBV DNA levels ≥ the detection limit in peripheral blood; positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody with detectable HCV RNA; positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies; or positive for syphilis testing;
* Positive for acute or chronic hepatitis C. Exceptions: acute hepatitis C with complete viral clearance; chronic hepatitis C with a sustained virological response (SVR24) 24 weeks post-treatment confirming undetectable viral load;
* Having history of arterial or venous thrombosis within 3 months prior to enrollment;
