What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of a novel treatment combining CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T) T cells with CD19 positive feeder T cells for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who are in remission. Participants are divided into two groups: one receiving the treatment without any pretreatment and the other receiving cyclophosphamide and fludarabine prior to the CAR-T cell infusion. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of this approach in consolidating remission in these patients.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 65 with CD19 positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission and adequate organ function.

Not a fit: Patients with uncontrolled infections, active hepatitis, or significant cardiovascular issues may not benefit from this treatment.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve remission rates and overall outcomes for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies using CAR-T cell therapies have shown promising results, indicating potential success for this approach.
