About This Trial

This is a phase 1 dose escalation study to determine the safety of anti-FLT3 CAR-T in subjects with R/R AML. The primary objective is to assess safety. Up to 18 evaluable adult and 18 evaluable pediatric subjects will be enrolled. Evaluable subjects are defined as those who have received an infusion of HG-CT-1. Primary clinical objectives: i. Determine the safety of HG-CT-1 based on the proportion of subjects infused with HG-CT-1 who experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). Secondary clinical objectives: i. Estimate the efficacy of HG-CT-1 according to standard clinical response criteria for AML. ii. Estimate overall survival of evaluable subjects. iii. Estimate progression-free survival of evaluable subjects. iv. Estimate duration of response in evaluable subjects who achieve a response. Secondary scientific objectives: i. Describe the persistence and trafficking of HG-CT-1. ii. Describe HG-CT-1 bioactivity and its predictors.

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 Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (R/R AML), 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 18 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: - 18 years of age or older at enrollment. Patients ≥12 and \<18 12 to 17 years of age weighing ≥ 35 kg at enrollment may be included once safety evaluation at the corresponding adult dose escalation protocol have been completed. - Subjects with AML unlikely to be cured with currently available therapies. Specifically, the following groups are eligible: 1. Refractory AML: i.e., newly diagnosed AML that after two cycles of intensive chemotherapy has not achieved a complete remission or morphologic leukemia free state by ELN criteria.1 Intensive chemotherapy must have included either the combination of cytarabine and an anthracycline (7+3 or similar) or combination of venetoclax with a hypomethylating agent. Patients with FLT3 ITD must also have failed treatment with a FLT3 inhibitor and patients with IDH1 or IDH2 mutations must have failed treatment containing ivosidenib or enasidenib respectively (i.e., progression on treatment, or failure to achieve CR after six months of treatment,) OR: 2. AML relapsed following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (including MDS evolved to AML post-allogeneic stem cell transplantation). Note: morphologic relapse is not required; persistent/recurrent disease-associated molecular, phenotypic, or cytogenetic abnormalities (measurable residual disease, MRD) at any time after allogeneic HSCT is eligible. OR: 3. AML that has relapsed within 12 months after initial induction and consolidation therapy OR: 4. AML that has relapsed more than 12 months after initial induction but that has failed to achieve CR or morphologic leukemia free state after one reinduction OR: 5. AML after second or subsequent relapse. - FLT3 expression must be detectable in AML blast by flow cytometric analysis. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Note: prior HCV that has been appropriately treated or evidence of past HBV infection do not constitute exclusions. * Concurrent use of systemic steroids at a prednisone dose of greater than 10 mg, hydrocortisone greater than 10-12.5 mg/m2/day, or equivalent.

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.
