Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with a confirmed lymphoid neoplasm (per WHO-HAEM5) that is relapsed or refractory or meets the study's criteria for EBV association (high EBV DNA load, GP350+ tumor cells, or supportive serology).

Probably not a fit

Patients without evidence of EBV involvement, those who cannot tolerate leukapheresis or conditioning chemotherapy, or those with medical conditions that preclude CAR-T infusion are unlikely to benefit.

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

What this trial studies

This is an open-label, single-arm Phase 1/2 study testing GP350-directed CAR-T cells in patients with relapsed/refractory or EBV-associated lymphoid neoplasms. Participants undergo leukapheresis to collect immune cells, receive conditioning chemotherapy, and then get an intravenous infusion of the engineered CAR-T cells. Safety, tolerability, and early signs of anti-tumor activity will be monitored during a post-treatment assessment and through long-term follow-up. The trial is conducted at a single clinical site in Hefei, Anhui, China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, GP350 CAR-T could produce durable remissions for patients with EBV-associated relapsed lymphoid neoplasms who have few other options.

How similar studies have gone: While CD19-directed CAR-Ts have shown strong results in some B-cell lymphomas, GP350-targeted CAR-T for EBV-driven lymphoid neoplasms is a novel approach with limited prior clinical data.
