Treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with JWCAR201

An Open-label, Single-arm Study of JWCAR201 in the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma

Phase 1 Interventional Fudan University · NCT06517004

This study is testing a new treatment called JWCAR201 to see if it helps adults with hard-to-treat diffuse large B-cell lymphoma feel better.

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.

Who should consider this trial

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.

Not a fit: Patients who have not undergone prior treatment with anthracyclines and anti-CD20-targeted regimens may not benefit from this study.

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