Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Study of CD19 Specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor Positive T Cells (CAR-T) in ALL and NHL

Study Description

Brief Summary: It is a treatment that activates and strengthens the immune system against cancer. Recently, T cell receptors have been genetically rearranged by adaptive T cell therapies, which are promising in the fight against cancer, and are now able to recognize antigens on tumor cells. These modified T cell receptors are called chimeric antigen receptors. Many previous clinical studies have shown that different CAR-T cells are effective in relapse / refractory B cell cancers and NHL.

Detailed Description: Clinical trials of CAR-T cell therapy started at the end of 1990s. Phase I and II trials have still evaluated the efficacy and safety of CAR-T cells in hematological and solid cancers. The therapy involves drawing blood from patients and isolation of the T cells. Next, the T cells are genetically engineered in a laboratory by using virus or sleeping beauty to produce receptors on their surface named as chimeric antigen receptors. As the last step, the CAR-T cells are infused back into the patient. After infusion, it is expected that the CAR-T cells further increase in number in the patient's body and with the help of their engineered receptor to recognize and target the antigen on the surface of the cancerous cells for antitumor effect.
