Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults and pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory B cell lymphomas, such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or high-grade B cell lymphoma.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with non-B cell malignancies or those who are not relapsed or refractory may not benefit from this treatment.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This phase I trial evaluates the safety and tolerability of CLIC-2201, an autologous CAR-T cell therapy targeting CD22, in patients with relapsed or refractory B cell malignancies. Participants will undergo leukapheresis to collect T cells, which will be modified and expanded in a laboratory before being infused back into the patient after lymphodepleting chemotherapy. The trial aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose of CLIC-2201 and assess its anti-tumor activity and pharmacokinetics. Monitoring will continue for up to 365 days post-infusion to ensure participant safety.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat B cell malignancies.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies using CAR-T cell therapies have shown promising results, indicating potential for success with this novel approach.
