Clinical trial Recruiting at 3 sites Early Phase 1 Interventional Ages 18 to 75

Dual CD19/CD20 cell therapy for relapsed or refractory B‑cell non‑Hodgkin lymphoma

Official title: A Phase I, Open-label Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of LUCAR-E9D,LUCAR-E9K, a Dual-targeted Cell Product Targeting CD19/CD20, in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Run by Beijing GoBroad Hospital · NCT07093411 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial will try a single infusion of LUCAR‑E9D or LUCAR‑E9K — engineered cells that target CD19 and CD20 — to see if they are safe and help adults with relapsed or refractory B‑cell non‑Hodgkin lymphoma.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–75 with relapsed or refractory B‑cell non‑Hodgkin lymphoma that expresses CD19 and/or CD20, an ECOG performance status of 0–1, and who can undergo lymphodepleting chemotherapy and provide informed consent are eligible.

Probably not a fit

Patients who lack CD19/CD20 expression, have poor performance status, active uncontrolled comorbidities or CNS lymphoma, are pregnant, or are unable to tolerate lymphodepletion are unlikely to benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This open‑label, early phase 1 dose‑escalation and dose‑extension trial gives eligible adults a single infusion of LUCAR‑E9D or LUCAR‑E9K after lymphodepleting chemotherapy and follows them for safety and response. The main goals are to define tolerability, identify a recommended dose, and collect preliminary evidence of anti‑tumor activity. Participants must have relapsed or refractory B‑cell non‑Hodgkin lymphoma expressing CD19 and/or CD20 and meet performance and laboratory eligibility. The protocol includes screening, pre‑treatment lymphodepletion, the cell infusion, and scheduled follow‑up visits to monitor adverse events and disease status.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the dual‑targeted cells could produce deeper or more durable remissions by reducing tumor escape from single‑antigen therapies.

How similar studies have gone: Single‑target CD19 CAR‑T therapies have produced high response rates in relapsed/refractory B‑cell lymphomas and dual‑target approaches like CD19/CD20 are an active area with early promising but still preliminary results.
