Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-90 or adolescents aged 13-90 with relapsed or refractory CD19-positive leukemia or lymphoma.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant liver toxicity, certain heart conditions, or those who are pregnant or nursing may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This Phase 1/2 trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of VNX-101, a gene therapy designed to treat relapsed or refractory CD19-positive hematologic malignancies. The therapy uses an adeno-associated virus to deliver a diabody that targets both CD19 and CD3, activating T-cells to eliminate malignant B-cells. The study consists of two parts: the first part focuses on determining the appropriate dosing, while the second part assesses the safety and pharmacokinetics of the recommended dose. Participants may receive standard chemotherapy prior to treatment to meet dosing criteria.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this therapy could provide a new treatment option for patients with difficult-to-treat blood cancers.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar gene therapy approaches, indicating potential for success in this novel treatment.
