L218CAR19 treatment for patients with relapsed B-cell lymphoma

A Phase 1, Open-label, Dose Escalating Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Clinical Activity of L218CAR19 in Patients With CD19 Positive Relapsed/Refractory B-cell Lymphomas

Phase 1 Interventional Henan Cancer Hospital · NCT06478381

This study is testing a new treatment called L218CAR19 for people with relapsed B-cell lymphoma to see if it can help them after they haven't responded to other therapies.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates L218CAR19, a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell immunotherapy designed to target CD19 on B cells in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphomas. The study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical activity of this treatment in individuals who have undergone at least two prior lines of systemic therapy. Participants must have measurable disease and meet specific health criteria to be eligible for the trial.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with relapsed or refractory CD19 positive B-cell lymphomas who have received at least two lines of treatment.

Not a fit: Patients with non-CD19 positive B-cell lymphomas or those who have not received prior systemic treatment may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat B-cell lymphomas.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies utilizing CAR T-cell therapies targeting CD19 have shown promising results, indicating potential success for this approach.
