Total Duration
Researchers are evaluating the side effects and best dose of CD4 and CD8 HA-1 T cell receptor TCR T cells in treating patients with acute leukemia that persists, returns, or does not respond after a donor stem cell transplant. This phase I trial explores how genetically modified donor T cells can recognize leukemia cells by targeting the HA-1 protein on their surface. The study aims to better understand the feasibility and safety of this adoptive immunotherapy approach for leukemia patients post-transplant. Participants receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, ending 2 to 14 days before receiving the HA-1 TCR T cells intravenously. After T cell infusion, patients are closely followed for 12 weeks, then every 6 months for years 1 through 5, and annually for years 6 through 15. The study involves procedures like bone marrow aspirations and blood sample collections to monitor treatment effects. During the trial, researchers assess the ability to manufacture and administer the HA-1 TCR T cells, monitor dose-limiting toxicities within 12 weeks, and track how long the modified T cells persist in the blood and bone marrow for up to one year. They also evaluate the reduction of leukemia and normal recipient cells in bone marrow and observe any new or recurrent graft-versus-host disease symptoms for one year. Long-term follow-up up to 15 years helps ensure ongoing safety and effectiveness assessments.

This table compares participation in this trial with other options available for this condition. The information is drawn from published research and the trial’s study details and is provided for educational purposes only.
| Factors | HA-1 TCR T Cells (Trial Group) | Current Post-Transplant Management (External Care) |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Engineered donor T cells that recognize the HA-1 protein are manufactured and given by intravenous infusion after donor stem cell transplant to target leukemia cells while sparing healthy donor cells. | Current care for post-transplant relapse or residual disease includes close monitoring, possible donor lymphocyte infusion, further chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or supportive measures based on patient status and genetics. |
| Role in trial / clinical care | Studied as an investigational salvage therapy for patients with persistent, relapsed, or refractory leukemia after allogeneic HCT who meet genetic and clinical eligibility. | Used as the default approach for similar patients outside clinical trials, with choice of additional therapies depending on disease burden and donor availability. |
| Primary use | Intended to enhance anti-leukemia activity and potentially eliminate residual or relapsed leukemia cells that have survived after hematopoietic cell transplantation. | Aims to control leukemia relapse or progression using established therapies, observation, or donor cell infusions, tailored to each patient's risk and status. |
| How it is given or performed | Participants receive an intravenous infusion of donor-derived T cells genetically modified to express an HA-1 specific T cell receptor after donor stem cell transplant. | Standard options include close monitoring (observation), donor lymphocyte infusion via intravenous route, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies, each selected per individual patient protocol. |
| Evidence status | Clinical evidence for efficacy and safety is in early stages; results for this trial are not yet available. | Effectiveness and risks of standard management approaches are supported by extensive published literature and clinical experience, although outcomes for relapse after HCT remain poor. |
| Important limitations | Benefits and risks are not established. Trial participation is limited to specific genetic profiles and donor matches; long-term risks, effectiveness, and safety remain unknown while the study is ongoing. | Standard treatments have limited efficacy for patients with relapsed or refractory disease after HCT. Treatment decisions depend on patient and donor factors, and risks of severe complications remain high. |
