Phase 2 Study Assessing the Clinical Activity and Safety of Obecabtagene Autoleucel as a Consolidation in Patients With Newly Diagnosed High-risk B-cell Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL)
What this study is about
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if obecabtagene autoleucel (obe-cel) can help to control newly diagnosed, high-risk B-cell ALL when given as consolidation therapy. Consolidation therapy is given after the first phase of treatment.

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- I. Patients of age .18 years with high-risk B-cell ALL in first remission and \<5% BM blasts with at least one high-risk feature defined as:
- Ph-negative B-cell ALL:
- KMT2A rearranged ALL
- Complex cytogenetics as per NCCN 2022
- Low-hypodiploidy/tetraploidy
- Philadelphia-like ALL (based on CRLF2 overexpression or recurrent Ph-like genetic fusions)
- TP53 mutation (variant allele fraction \>2%)
- Persistent MRD by flow cytometry and/or NGS
- Ph-positive B-cell ALL:
- IKZF1plus genotype (IKZF1 deletion coexisting with PAX5 or CDKN2A/2B, or PAR1 region deletions) or other high-risk features such as VPRB1 deletion, etc.
- High WBC (\>30 x 109/L) at initial presentation
- Persistent MRD by flow cytometry and/or NGS and/or PCR II. Performance status of 0, 1, or 2 III. Adequate organ function with creatinine less than or equal to 1.6 mg/dl, bilirubin less than or equal to 3.5 mg and ALT and AST less than or equal to 5 times institutional upper limit of normal IV. Patients should be CD19 expression positive (\>1%) before enrollment V. Patients with controlled CNS and/or other extramedullary leukemia will be eligible.
Exclusion criteria
- Pregnant or lactating; women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must have negative pregnancy test. WOCBP defined as not post-menopausal for 12 months or no previous surgical sterilization.
- Patients with history of Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections, even if under control. (Patients with Hepatitis B core antibody positive alone will not be an exclusion factor if HBV DNA PCR is negative).
- Active and uncontrolled disease/infection as judged by the treating physician
- Unable or unwilling to sign the consent form
Where
- Houston, Texas
Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
