Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are CD19 and/or CD22–positive FL patients who have achieved PR or CR after standard first-line chemotherapy but possess high-risk features at diagnosis.

Probably not a fit

Patients without high-risk features or without adequate CAR-T cell expansion/engraftment may derive limited or no benefit.

What this trial studies

This phase 2 interventional study investigates CD19/CD22 CAR-T cell therapy as the initial consolidation treatment for follicular lymphoma patients. Eligible participants are those with CD19 and/or CD22-positive FL who respond to induction therapy but carry high-risk features. The study focuses on safety and preliminary efficacy of the CAR-T approach in the first-line setting, with careful monitoring after infusion for potential toxicities and responses. Enrollment is limited to patients treated at a major Beijing site under the lead sponsor, Liping Dou. Results will inform whether early CAR-T intervention can enhance depth of response and duration of remission in high-risk FL populations.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may achieve deeper and longer-lasting remissions with an option to reduce relapse risk.

How similar studies have gone: CAR-T therapies have shown promise in B-cell lymphomas, but using CD19/CD22 CAR-T as first-line consolidation in FL is novel and exploratory.

Inclusion Criteria:

* 1\. With the patient's consent and signed informed consent form, willing and able to comply with the planned visits, research treatments, laboratory tests, and other experimental procedures;
* 2\. CD19 and/or CD22-positive follicular lymphoma (FL) confirmed by histology according to the WHO classification:

  1. The patient's disease is still evaluated as partial response (PR) after induction treatment with standard first-line chemotherapy regimen, or
  2. The patient's disease reaches complete response (CR) after induction treatment with standard first-line chemotherapy regimen, but there are high-risk factors at the time of onset;
* 3\. The possible high-risk factors for the patient's onset of the disease are as follows: Presence of at least one of the following high-risk features at diagnosis:

  1. Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI-1) score of 3-5 or FLIPI-2 score of 3-5;
  2. Presence of any lymph node or extranodal mass \>6 cm in diameter;
  3. Significant infiltration of CD68+ or CD163+ macrophages by immunohistochemistry;
  4. Gene sequencing revealing TP53 or NOTCH1 mutation;
  5. Presence of 1p36 deletion or 1q amplification;
  6. Next-generation sequencing (NGS)-defined high-risk mutation-based 7-gene Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (m7-FLIPI) subtype.
* 4\. Age range from 18 to 85 years old, male or female;
* 5\. Subjects with physical fitness status scores ranging from 0 to 2 in the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) in the United States;
* 6\. Expected survival period from the date of signing the informed consent form is greater than 3 months;
* 7\. HGB ≥ 60g/L;
* 8\. The absolute value of neutrophils in peripheral blood is ≥ 1000/μl, and the platelet count is ≥ 45000/μl;
* 9\. Liver and kidney function, as well as heart and lung function, meet the following requirements:

  1. Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 times the upper limits of normal (ULN), except for subjects with Gilbert's syndrome;
  2. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 times ULN;
  3. Serum Creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5 times ULN or Creatinine Clearance Rate (CCr) ≥ 60mL/min, estimated based on the Cockcroft Gault formula;
  4. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of the heart is ≥ 50%. Echocardiography (ECHO) confirms no pericardial effusion and no clinically significant arrhythmia;
  5. Baseline transcutaneous oxygen saturation under indoor ventilation\>92%;
  6. No clinically significant pleural effusion;
* 10\. Participants with pregnancy plans must agree to take contraceptive measures for a continuous period of 6 months from before enrollment in the study until the end of the study; If the subject is pregnant or suspected of being pregnant, the researcher should be notified immediately.

Exclusion Criteria:

* 1\. Have received any form of chimeric antigen receptor cell therapy or other genetically modified T cell therapy;
* 2\. Has a history of severe immediate hypersensitivity reactions to aminoglycoside antibiotics and other essential medications;
* 3\. Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, or any uncontrolled active systemic infection requiring intravenous antibiotics (active HBV infection is defined as:

  1. HBV DNA quantification ≥ 2000 IU/ml;
  2. ALT ≥ 2 times the normal upper limit value;
  3. Exclude hepatitis caused by the disease itself, medication, or other reasons; All three conditions must be met simultaneously. If a patient is diagnosed with active HBV infection at the time of initial diagnosis and becomes non active HBV infection after anti HBV treatment, they can be included in this study under the premise of sufficient anti HBV treatment;

* 13\. There are other serious physical or mental illnesses or laboratory abnormalities that may increase the risk of participating in the study, or interfere with the study results, as well as patients deemed unsuitable by the researchers to participate in this study.
