Treatment for relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma using dual-targeted cells

A Phase I, Open-label Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of LUCAR-G39D, a Dual-targeted Cell Preparation Targeting CD19/CD20, in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Phase 1 Interventional Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital · NCT06395870

This study is testing a new treatment called LUCAR-G39D to see if it can help adults with relapsed or hard-to-treat B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma feel better.

What this trial studies

This phase I, open-label clinical study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of LUCAR-G39D, a dual-targeted cell preparation that targets CD19 and CD20, in patients aged 18 to 75 with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Participants will undergo a screening phase followed by lymphodepleting chemotherapy before receiving a single dose of the LUCAR-G39D injection. The study will assess the treatment's effects through various phases, including follow-up to monitor outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with histologically confirmed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that expresses CD19 or CD20 and has not responded to previous therapies.

Not a fit: Patients with non-B-cell lymphomas or those who have not undergone prior therapies 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 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies targeting CD19/CD20 have shown promise, indicating potential for success with this dual-targeted approach.
