Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with histologically confirmed DLBCL who have relapsed or are refractory to at least two prior treatment lines.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have not undergone prior treatment with anthracyclines and anti-CD20-targeted regimens 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 open-label, single-arm study evaluates the safety and efficacy of JWCAR201 in adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The study employs a two-stage dose escalation design, starting with an accelerated titration approach to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) based on observed dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). Patients will receive varying doses of CAR+ T-cells, and the study aims to assess the relationship between the dose and the probability of DLTs using a model-based approach. The study will provide insights into the therapeutic potential of JWCAR201 for this challenging patient population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies utilizing CAR-T therapy for DLBCL have shown promising results, indicating a potential for success in this approach.
