Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18 years) with confirmed CD7-positive relapsed or refractory T-ALL/LBL, ECOG 0–1, expected survival ≥3 months, adequate organ function, and capacity to consent are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients without CD7 expression, with active uncontrolled autoimmune disease or graft-versus-host disease, poor performance status, or inadequate organ function are unlikely to benefit.

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

What this trial studies

This single-arm, open-label, multicenter Phase 2 trial collects a single leukapheresis sample to manufacture PA3-17 CAR-T cells, administers lymphodepleting chemotherapy, and gives one CAR-T infusion. Blood will be sampled before and after infusion for pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, immunogenicity, and safety analyses. Efficacy assessments occur at 4 weeks, 2 months, 3 months, and then every 3 months up to 24 months, with tumor evaluations continued until progression or a predefined stopping event. The trial is conducted at multiple hospitals in China and enrolls adults with confirmed CD7-positive relapsed/refractory T-ALL/LBL.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, PA3-17 could induce meaningful remissions in patients with relapsed or refractory CD7-positive T-ALL/LBL.

How similar studies have gone: Early-phase CD7-targeted CAR-T trials have reported promising remission rates in small cohorts, but the approach remains experimental with limited follow-up.
