Treatment for relapsed B cell lymphoma using CAR-NK and CAR-T cells

Official title: Sequential Treatment With 7x19 CAR-T After Umbilical Cord Blood Derived CD19 CARNK in Relapsed/Refractory B Cell Lymphoma

Run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine · NCT06464861 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new treatment for people with relapsed B cell lymphoma that uses two types of immune cells, CAR-NK and CAR-T, to see if it helps them feel better.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18-75 with relapsed or refractory B cell lymphomas, including DLBCL, PMBCL, and MCL, who have previously undergone specific treatments.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are not diagnosed with the specified types of B cell lymphoma or those who have not previously received the required treatments 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 clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a sequential treatment approach using cord blood-derived CD19 CAR-NK cells followed by 7x19 CAR-T cells in patients with relapse or refractory B cell lymphoma. The study is structured in two phases: the first phase involves the preparation and infusion of CAR-NK cells, while the second phase involves the preparation and infusion of CAR-T cells. This single-center, open-label study will monitor patient responses and side effects throughout the treatment process.

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 gone: While the combination of CAR-NK and CAR-T therapies is a novel approach, similar studies have shown promise in utilizing CAR-T therapies for B cell malignancies.
