RECRUITINGPhase 1INTERVENTIONAL

A Study of ADCLEC.syn1 in People With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

A Phase I Study of ADCLEC.syn1 CAR T Cells in Adult Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

A Study of ADCLEC.syn1 in People With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (NCT05748197) is a Phase 1 interventional studying Acute Myeloid Leukemia, sponsored by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of ADCLEC.syn1 CAR T cells in people with relapsed or refractory AML. The researchers will try to find the highest dose of ADCLEC.syn1 CAR T cells that causes few or mild side effects in participants. Once the researchers find this dose, it will test it in a new group of participants to see if it is effective in treating their relapsed/refractory AML.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Acute Myeloid Leukemia, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 40 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. Age ≥18 years of age at the time of signing willing to sign a consent form. 2. Patients must have R/R AML. The following disease status will be eligible for the study: a. Refractory AML is defined as failure to achieve a CR, CRh or CRi after one of the following regimens: i. At least one course of standard intensive induction chemotherapy (e.g., 7+3, MEC, HiDAC, etc.) or hypomethylating agent (HMA) or low dose cytarabine-based combination regimen including but not limited to venetoclax (e.g. venetoclax in combination with azacytidine, decitabine or cytarabine) ii. Four cycles of HMA monotherapy b. Relapsed AML is defined the appearance of ≥5% blasts in the bone marrow or peripheral blood at any time after achieving a CR, CRh, or CRi. 3. You should be able to carry out daily activities with 0 level of ability (ECOG 0) or 1. 4. Subjects must have a suitable stem cell donor identified who may donate cells in the event that the subject needs to undergo an allogeneic HSCT for rescue from prolonged marrow aplasia. Donor may be from related or unrelated matched source, haplo or cord, and must be found to be suitable according to the institution's standard criteria. 5. your organs (liver, kidneys, etc.) are working well enough based on blood tests defined as: 1. Serum creatinine \<2.0 mg/100 mL. 2. Total bilirubin \<2.0 mg/100 mL, unless benign congenital hyperbilirubinemia or due to leukemia organ involvement 3. AST and/or ALT ≤5 × ULN, unless considered due to leukemic organ involvement. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. Diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia. 2. Radiologically-detected or symptomatic CNS disease or CNS 3 disease (i.e., presence of ≥5/µL WBCs in CSF). Subjects with adequately treated CNS leukemia are eligible. 3.

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
