Radiation‑optimized autologous stem cell transplant followed by sequential CAR‑T for relapsed/refractory aggressive B‑cell NHL
Official title: A Prospective Study of Integrated Radiotherapy-optimized ASCT Sequential CAR-T Therapy on the Efficacy and Safety of Patients With Relapsed and Refractory Aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University · NCT07059741 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will try combining targeted radiotherapy, a reduced‑intensity SEAM/TB conditioning with autologous stem cell transplant, and sequential CAR‑T cell therapy in adults with relapsed or refractory aggressive B‑cell NHL to see if it improves disease control and survival.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 or older with histologically confirmed relapsed or refractory aggressive B‑cell NHL who have received at least two prior systemic therapies and have adequate organ function and marrow reserve are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe hepatic or renal dysfunction, inadequate marrow reserve, life expectancy under three months, or who cannot tolerate/attend ASCT and CAR‑T at the study center are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies
This interventional protocol enrolls adults with relapsed/refractory aggressive B‑cell non‑Hodgkin lymphoma who have had at least two prior systemic therapies. Participants are stratified by post‑salvage status into two cohorts based on PET/CT and circulating tumor DNA: one cohort receives low‑dose radiotherapy plus reduced‑intensity SEAM/TB conditioning before ASCT and CAR‑T, and the other receives high‑dose radiotherapy with the same reduced conditioning before ASCT and CAR‑T. All subjects proceed to autologous stem cell transplantation followed by sequential CAR‑T infusion and are followed longitudinally for safety, response, and survival outcomes. The design tests whether tailoring radiation dose by imaging and ctDNA can improve tolerability and longer‑term control when combined with ASCT and CAR‑T.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this combined approach could increase durable remissions and overall survival for patients with relapsed/refractory aggressive B‑cell NHL while personalizing radiation intensity.
How similar studies have gone: CAR‑T therapy and ASCT each have established roles in relapsed/refractory B‑cell NHL, but the specific integration of radiotherapy‑optimized ASCT followed by sequential CAR‑T is a novel multimodal strategy with limited prior clinical data.
