About this trial
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a combination therapy in the treatment of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL): multi-antigen-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) followed by engineered immune effector cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) and immune modified dendritic cell vaccine (DCvac). This approach is aimed to achieve NGS MRD negativity in T-ALL patients, which can identify a very low risk of relapse and define patients with possible long-term remission without further treatment.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers

High-burden (≥ 30% blast cells) bone marrow sample for NGS TCR clonal identification and CTL/DC vac preparation is required
Expression of CD7, CD5, CD317, CD47, CD99, CD38 or TRBC1/2 is determined in malignant cells by flow cytometry or immuno-histochemical staining.
Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score is higher than 80 and life expectancy > 3 months.
Disqualifiers
