Combining anti-CD19 CAR T-cells with Lenalidomide in relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL

Official title: Phase I/II Open-label Study Evaluating The Safety And Efficacy of Concomitant Administration of Anti-CD19 CAR T-cell Therapy and Lenalidomide in Refractory/Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients.

Run by Vitebsk Regional Clinical Cancer Centre · NCT06762431 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether giving Lenalidomide together with anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy is safe and can help people with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL who have been on ibrutinib.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with CD19+ CLL or SLL that has relapsed or is refractory after at least one prior therapy and who are on ibrutinib for at least 3 months prior to enrollment.

Probably not a fit

Patients not responding to CAR T-cell therapy or intolerant to Lenalidomide may not experience benefit and could be at risk for treatment-related adverse events.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase I/II open-label interventional study enrolling adults with relapsed or refractory CD19+ CLL or SLL who have been on ibrutinib for at least 3 months. After lymphodepletion, patients receive autologous anti-CD19 CAR T cells at escalating doses (DL1–DL3) with concurrent Lenalidomide and obinutuzumab as preconditioning and maintenance, followed by MRD-guided consolidation where applicable. Phase I focuses on safety, tolerability, and CAR T-cell pharmacokinetics, while Phase II assesses overall response rate, progression-free and overall survival, and MRD negativity. Eligible participants must have failed prior therapy, adequate organ function, and no active GVHD or significant ibrutinib-related toxicity.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients could experience deeper responses and longer disease control with a combined CAR T-cell and Lenalidomide approach.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies using CAR T-cells and immunomodulatory agents have shown activity in B-cell malignancies, but the specific combination with Lenalidomide in CLL/SLL is novel and exploratory in this design.
