About this study
In plain language
This study tests WU-CART-007, a CAR-T treatment that uses donor immune cells to fight cancer. It is for people with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) that came back, did not respond to treatment, or still has small amounts of cancer after treatment. The study aims to see if treatment can leave no cancer found by very sensitive tests.
The T-RRex study evaluates the efficacy of WU-CART-007 for patients with Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL)/Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (LBL) and to WU-CART-007 as a therapy to induce complete Minimum Residual Disease (MRD) negative response
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Have T-ALL or T-LBL that came back, did not respond to treatment, or still has small amounts of cancer after treatment.
- Be at least 6 months old.
- Have organs that work well enough.
- Meet activity score limits at screening: ECOG 0 or 1, or Karnofsky 70 or higher. These scores measure how well you can do daily tasks.
Who can't join
- Have had treatment that targets CD7 before.
- Have hemolytic anemia that the body cannot keep up with, meaning red blood cells are destroyed too fast.
- Have grade 2–4 acute or extensive long-term graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) that needs medicine to lower immune activity throughout the body. GvHD is when donor cells attack your body. Grade 1 without such medicine, or grade 2 affecting only the skin and treated only with skin medicine, is allowed.
Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.
Official eligibility criteria
Key Inclusion Criteria: * Disease Criteria: Evidence of T-ALL or T-LBL, as defined by World Health Organization (WHO) classification, and either relapse/refractory or MRD positive * Age: Lower age limit of ≥ 6 months; adequate organ function * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0 or 1/Karnofsky Performance Status 70 and above at Screening. Key Exclusion Criteria: * Prior treatment with any anti-CD7 therapy. * Patients with decompensated hemolytic anemia. * Presence of Grade 2 to 4 acute or extensive chronic GvHD requiring systemic immunosuppression. Grade 1 GvHD not requiring immunosuppression or Grade 2 skin GvHD if treated with topical therapy only are acceptable.
