Clinical trial Recruiting at 3 sites Phase1; Phase2 Interventional Ages 14 to 70

CD5 CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-Label, Non-Randomized, Single-Arm Phase I/II Clinical Study of Autologous and New Donor CD5CAR-T Cells for Relapsed or Refractory Mature T-Cell Lymphomas

Run by Beijing GoBroad Hospital · NCT07022964 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tries CD5 CAR T-cell therapy, using either the patient's own cells or donor cells, and may bridge to stem-cell transplant for people 14–70 with relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adolescents and adults (14–70 years) with relapsed or refractory T‑cell lymphoma who have exhausted standard treatments, have ECOG 0–2, and can provide informed consent are the intended candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with poor performance status (ECOG >2), active uncontrolled infections, very short life expectancy, or tumors that do not express the targeted antigen (CD5) are unlikely to benefit.

What this trial studies

This multicenter, open-label, single-arm Phase 1/2 trial delivers autologous or allogeneic CD5-directed CAR T cells to patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The primary objective is to test the safety of CD5 CAR T as a bridge to hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation, with the main endpoint being dose-limiting toxicities within 21 days after infusion. Up to 36 participants will be enrolled and monitored closely for cytokine release syndrome, neurotoxicity, infections, and other adverse events. Treatments and follow-up occur at three participating hospitals with scheduled visits to track safety and disease response.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could induce remissions in patients who have exhausted standard options and enable curative stem-cell transplantation.

How similar studies have gone: CAR T-cell therapies transformed treatment for B-cell lymphomas, but CD5-directed CAR T for T-cell lymphomas is a newer strategy with only limited early-phase signs of activity so far.

Inclusion Criteria (Patients who met all the inclusion criteria were eligible for enrolment):

* Relapsed or refractory CD7-positive T-cell lymphomas that were treated with with standard chemotherapy, with poor prognosis from currently available treatments at and no available treatment options (e.g., HSCT or chemotherapy);

Subjects are willing to follow the study visit schedule and associated study procedures as specified in the protocol. Candidates between the ages of 19-70 years old will need to be sufficiently aware of and capable of signing the informed consent form; underage candidates between the ages of 14-18 years old will need to be sufficiently aware of the informed consent form and their legal guardian will also need to sign the informed consent form separately.

Exclusion Criteria (Patients who fulfil any of the following criteria may not be enrolled):

* Patients with history of allogeneic HSCT but PBMNC is not available from prior- transplant donor for preparation of CAR T cells and peripheral blood tumour load \>30%; patients without history of allogeneic HSCT and peripheral blood tumour load \>30%;
* Intracranial hypertension or cerebral impaired consciousness;
* Symptomatic heart failure or severe arrhythmia;
* Symptoms of severe respiratory failure;
