Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include individuals aged 14 and older diagnosed with relapsed or refractory B-ALL that expresses CD19.

Probably not a fit

Patients with isolated extramedullary relapse or those who do not express CD19 on their leukemia cells may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the safety and effectiveness of allogeneic CD19-targeted CAR-γδT cell infusion therapy for patients with relapsed or refractory B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL). The primary objective is to assess the safety and determine the optimal dosage for future studies, while the secondary objective focuses on evaluating the treatment's efficacy. Participants will receive a combination of CAR-γδT cells along with Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide as part of the intervention. The study aims to provide a new therapeutic option for patients who have not responded to standard treatments.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this therapy could offer a new treatment option for patients with relapsed or refractory B-ALL, potentially improving survival rates.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies using CAR T-cell therapies have shown promising results in treating B-ALL, indicating potential success for this approach.
