Academic anti-CD19 CAR-T for relapsed or refractory large B‑cell lymphoma

Treatment Method of Patients With Refractory and Relapsed CD-19 Positive Leukemia and Lymphoma Using Academic Anti-CD19 CAR-T Human Cells

Observational N.N. Alexandrov National Cancer Centre · NCT07524816

This project tests whether a locally manufactured anti‑CD19 CAR‑T cell therapy works and is safe for adults whose large B‑cell lymphoma has relapsed or not responded to prior treatment.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective observational study of adults with relapsed or refractory large B‑cell lymphoma treated at the N.N. Alexandrov National Cancer Centre in Belarus using an academic anti‑CD19 CAR‑T product manufactured with a lentiviral vector. Participants must have CD19‑positive tumor tissue and prior exposure to at least one line of anti‑tumor therapy, and patients with active hepatitis B/C, HIV, pregnancy, or very low naïve T‑cell counts are excluded. The study will collect real‑world safety and efficacy outcomes after administration of the academic CAR‑T product without randomization. Results will help compare clinical outcomes and tolerability of this locally produced CAR‑T approach to existing commercial therapies.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults (≥18) with relapsed or refractory large B‑cell lymphoma whose tumors express CD19, who have had at least one prior anti‑cancer treatment, and who have adequate naïve T‑cell counts are ideal candidates.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, have active hepatitis B or C, HIV infection, CD19‑negative tumors, or very low naïve T‑cell counts are unlikely to benefit from this treatment.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could make CAR‑T therapy more affordable and accessible and potentially produce durable remissions for some patients.

How similar studies have performed: Commercial anti‑CD19 CAR‑T therapies have achieved high remission rates in relapsed/refractory LBCL since 2018, and academic/manufactured CAR‑T programs have reported promising but more limited real‑world results.
