Official title: the Safety and Efficacy of Ultra-fraction Radiotherapy Bridging CART Cell Therapy in Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large b Cell Lymphoma
Run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital · NCT05514327 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if a special type of radiation treatment before CAR-T therapy can help people with hard-to-treat diffuse large B cell lymphoma feel better and have better results.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old with histologically confirmed relapsed or refractory DLBCL who have failed multiple lines of chemotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have received prior radiation therapy within the last year or have severe organ dysfunction may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of ultra-fraction radiotherapy as a bridging treatment before CAR-T therapy in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). It is a single-arm, single-center study conducted at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Participants must have measurable disease and have previously undergone at least two lines of chemotherapy. The goal is to determine if this approach can improve outcomes for patients who have not responded to standard treatments.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance treatment efficacy and improve survival rates for patients with relapsed DLBCL.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on CAR-T therapy and radiotherapy separately, this specific approach of ultra-fraction radiotherapy as a bridging therapy is novel and has not been extensively tested.
