Official title: A Phase 1, Multicenter, Open-label Study of UB-VV111 in Combination With Rapamycin in Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) CD19+ B-cell Malignancies

Run by Umoja Biopharma · NCT06528301 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new treatment called UB-VV111, with and without another drug called rapamycin, to see if it can help people with certain types of B-cell cancers that haven't responded to other treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Probably not a fit

Patients with isolated central nervous system involvement or those who have had prior allogeneic bone marrow transplants may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This Phase 1 study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of UB-VV111, both alone and in combination with rapamycin, in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The study employs a dose-escalation and dose-confirmation methodology to determine the optimal dosing and assess antitumor activity. Participants must have measurable disease and meet specific eligibility criteria, including adequate organ function and performance status.

Why it matters

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

How similar studies have gone: Other studies involving CAR T-cell therapies have shown promising results, suggesting potential success for this novel approach.
