About
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of brexucabtagene autoleucel (KTE-X19) in pediatric and adolescent participants with relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or relapsed or refractory (r/r) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
As of October 2022, no further patients with acute B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) will be asked to join the study. The study remains open for recruitment for patients that have B-cell Non Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL).
Full description
All participants who received KTE-X19, and have completed at least 24 months of protocol assessments, will be transitioned to a separate long-term follow-up (LTFU) study. The purpose of the LTFU study (KT-US-982-5968.) is to complete the remainder of the 15-year follow-up assessments.
