Universal CAR-T therapy for CD19-positive B‑cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Official title: A Clinical Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Universal CAR-T Cells Targeting CD19 in the Treatment of r/r B Lymphocyte Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Run by Bioray Laboratories · NCT07248163 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will try an off‑the‑shelf CAR‑T product called BRL‑301 in adults with CD19‑positive B‑cell non‑Hodgkin lymphoma to see if a single 5×10^6/kg dose is safe and shows anti‑tumor activity.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with measurable, CD19‑positive B‑cell non‑Hodgkin lymphoma, ECOG 0–1, adequate blood, coagulation and biochemistry values, LVEF ≥55%, estimated survival ≥3 months, and who have not received prior CAR‑T, allogeneic cell therapy, or anti‑CD19 targeted therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are pregnant or lactating, have had prior CAR‑T or allogeneic cell therapy, prior anti‑CD19 targeted therapy, uncontrolled infections, positive hepatitis B markers, severe pulmonary disorders, or poor organ function are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This is a single‑center, single‑arm, open‑label study enrolling 3–6 adult subjects with measurable CD19‑positive B‑cell non‑Hodgkin lymphoma. Participants receive a fixed dose of BRL‑301 (5×10^6 cells/kg) and are followed for safety, tolerability, and signs of clinical response. Key eligibility includes ECOG 0–1, adequate organ function, LVEF ≥55%, and no prior anti‑CD19 or CAR‑T therapies. The study aims primarily to characterize early safety and any preliminary efficacy signals of this universal CAR‑T approach.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, BRL‑301 could offer an off‑the‑shelf CAR‑T option that produces anti‑lymphoma responses without the wait and complexity of patient‑derived manufacturing.
How similar studies have gone: Autologous CD19 CAR‑T therapies have produced strong responses in B‑cell NHL, but off‑the‑shelf (universal) CAR‑T approaches are newer and have produced promising but still early and mixed results.
