WU-CART-007 anti-CD7 CAR-T for relapsed or MRD-positive T-cell ALL and lymphoblastic lymphoma
A Phase 2 Study of WU-CART-007, an Anti-CD7 Allogeneic CAR-T Cell Therapy in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (T-RRex)
This trial will try WU-CART-007, an off-the-shelf anti-CD7 CAR-T therapy, in people with relapsed/refractory or MRD-positive T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma to see if it produces MRD-negative remissions.

What this trial studies
WU-CART-007 is an allogeneic anti-CD7 CAR-T cell therapy designed to target T-cell malignancies. This Phase 2, single-arm, multi-center, open-label trial enrolls patients aged six months and older with relapsed/refractory T-ALL or T-LBL or those in remission but remaining MRD positive. Participants receive a WU-CART-007 infusion at one of the study centers and are followed for response, MRD status, durability of remission, and safety, including CAR-T–related toxicities and graft-versus-host disease. The primary goal is to see how often the therapy induces complete MRD-negative remissions, with secondary endpoints focused on durability and adverse events.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are people aged six months or older with relapsed/refractory T-ALL or T-LBL, or those in remission but still MRD-positive, who have adequate organ function and good performance status.
Not a fit: Patients who previously received anti-CD7 therapy, have decompensated hemolytic anemia, or have active grade 2–4 graft-versus-host disease requiring systemic immunosuppression are unlikely to be eligible or benefit from this therapy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, WU-CART-007 could produce deep MRD-negative remissions and provide a new treatment option for patients with relapsed or MRD-positive T-cell ALL/LBL.
How similar studies have performed: Early-phase reports of anti-CD7 CAR-T approaches have shown promising responses in T-cell malignancies, but larger confirmatory trials remain limited.
