Summary

This trial tests if CAR-T therapy is safe and effective in treating B-ALL patients in remission with minimal disease.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that's CD19 positive can join. They must be in remission but still have minimal residual disease after induction chemotherapy. Participants need to be generally healthy, able to follow the trial schedule, and willing to use birth control during and for 6 months after the study.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing KTE-X19 CAR T-cell therapy's effectiveness and safety in treating B-ALL patients who are in remission but have some remaining cancer cells detectable at very low levels.
What are the potential side effects?
KTE-X19 may cause immune system reactions, fever, fatigue, headache, breathing difficulties, changes in blood pressure or heart rate. Side effects vary from person to person.
