Summary

"This trial involves collecting T cells from participants' white blood cells through a procedure called leukapheresis. These T cells will be modified in a lab to create the CAR T-cell therapy that participants will

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with a type of blood cancer called Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), specifically those who have seen their disease return. Participants must be eligible for leukapheresis, the procedure to collect white blood cells needed to create the therapy.
What is being tested?
The study involves taking participants' T cells and modifying them in a lab to become 19-28z/IL-18 CAR T cells, which are designed to fight leukemia. The process from collection to receiving the modified cells as treatment takes about 2-4 weeks.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to immune system activation such as fever, fatigue, and flu-like symptoms; complications from leukapheresis; or other issues specific to CAR T-cell therapies.
