CAR T cell therapy for relapsed large B-cell lymphoma

An Open-Label, Single-Arm Study of Relma-cel, CD19-targeted Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)T Cells for Relapsed or Refractory (R/R) LBCL

Phase 2 Interventional Shanghai Ming Ju Biotechnology Co., Ltd. · NCT06479356

This study is testing a new CAR T cell therapy to see if it can help adults with relapsed large B-cell lymphoma who haven't responded to previous treatments.

What this trial studies

This open-label, single-arm study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of relmacabtagene autoleucel (relma-cel) in adult patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL) in China. Participants must have histologically confirmed R/R LBCL and have previously undergone at least two lines of therapy, including autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The study will administer a recommended dose of 1×10^8 CAR+T cells to assess treatment outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with histologically confirmed relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma who have undergone prior treatments.

Not a fit: Patients who have not received prior CD19-targeted therapy or those with significant comorbidities may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this therapy could provide a new treatment option for patients with difficult-to-treat relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies using CAR T cell therapy for similar conditions have shown promising results, indicating a potential for success in this approach.
