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.
