First-in-human Study of a New Treatment (4A10) for Patients With Relapsed or Hard-to-treat Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, Focused on Safety and How the Drug Behaves in the Body and Early Signs of Effect.
(ALT-101)
What this study is about
ALT-101 is a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial testing a new antibody drug called 4A10 in patients with relapsed or hard-to-treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma. 4A10 is a targeted therapy designed to recognize and attach to a specific protein (CD127) found on leukemia cells.
View original scientific description
ALT-101 is a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial testing a new antibody drug called 4A10 in patients with relapsed or hard-to-treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma. 4A10 is a targeted therapy designed to recognize and attach to a specific protein (CD127) found on leukemia cells. Once it binds, it works in two ways: it blocks growth signals that help cancer cells survive, and it helps the immune system find and destroy those cancer cells. In this study, patients receive 4A10 through an intravenous (IV) infusion once a week. The main goal of the trial is to find out if the drug is safe, what dose can be given, and how the body processes it. Researchers will also look for early signs that the treatment may be working. The study starts with small groups of patients receiving increasing doses to carefully monitor safety. Each patient is closely observed during the first treatment cycle (about 4-6 weeks) to watch for side effects. If the treatment is helping and is well tolerated, patients may continue treatment for up to six cycles. Overall, this study is an early step in testing a new, targeted immune-based therapy for difficult-to-treat blood cancers.

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.
