CAR T-cell studies at UCL derived from UCL technology

The UCL Campus (encompassing UCLH and GOSH) has the largest CAR T-cell programme in Europe and one of the largest globally. The campus currently has 10 studies open which use technology used at UCL. Many of the studies are academic, but several are funded and sponsored by industrial partners.

CAROUSELNCT04443829Tests CAT19 in Primary CNS Lymphoma. Both intravenous and intra-ventricular routes of administration are tested.Wellcome Trust / UCLRecruiting.

CARPALLv2

(CAT/9A8)

NCT02443831This is a continuation of the CARPALL study. Since the main mode of relapse was CD19 negative escape, the product has been modified by co-transduction with a highly sensitive CD22 CAR (9A8-41BB-Z).Autolus / UCLRecruiting.

ALLCAR19v2

(basket cohort)

NCT02935257

This is a continuation of the ALLCAR19 study as a major amendment. The same therapeutic product is being tested in three additional cohors:

  • Cohort B - Indolent B-NHL (10 patients)
  • Cohort C - B-CLL (10 patients)
  • Cohort D - DLBCL (10 patients)
