Study summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of CD22/CD19-targeted CAR-T cell immunotherapy as consolidation therapy after second-line treatment in patients with high-risk aggressive B-cell lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

Only a proportion of patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma can achieve complete response with standard first-line immunochemotherapy such as R-CHOP, and a considerable number of patients experience relapse or disease progression, facing challenges such as drug resistance and poor prognosis.

According to previous National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines, patients with high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who achieve complete response after first-line induction therapy may receive consolidation treatments such as autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) or involved-site radiation therapy (ISRT). However, evidence from the SWOG 9704 study demonstrated that, among patients with intermediate-high or high-risk disease who achieved at least partial response after first-line therapy, ASCT consolidation did not significantly improve progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) in the intermediate-high-risk group, with limited benefit observed only in selected high-risk populations. Similarly, the DLCL04 study showed that patients with an age-adjusted International Prognostic Index (aaIPI) score of 2-3 who achieved complete or partial response after first-line therapy did not derive significant benefit from ASCT consolidation.

In the 2024 NCCN guidelines for DLBCL, consolidation strategies after first-line therapy have been largely de-escalated, with recommendations mainly limited to observation or localized radiotherapy in selected cases. For patients who relapse or are refractory after first-line treatment, second-line salvage therapy remains the standard approach; however, even after achieving response to second-line therapy, patients with high-risk features still face a substantial risk of disease progression, and there is currently no well-established consolidation strategy to improve long-term outcomes in this setting.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) immunotherapy has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies. As a result, CAR-T therapy has been increasingly explored not only as a salvage treatment but also as a potential consolidation strategy. Compared with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, CAR-T therapy allows for more controllable management of treatment-related toxicities, such as cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity, using immunosuppressive agents including glucocorticoids and tocilizumab. In addition, ASCT is associated with higher risks of treatment-related complications, including infection, bleeding, and non-relapse mortality (NRM).

Therefore, for patients with high-risk aggressive B-cell lymphoma who achieve partial or complete response after second-line therapy, there remains an unmet clinical need for effective consolidation strategies to further reduce relapse risk and improve survival outcomes.

Based on these considerations, this study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of CD22/CD19-targeted CAR-T cell immunotherapy as consolidation therapy following second-line treatment in patients with high-risk aggressive B-cell lymphoma, with the goal of improving prognosis and providing a novel therapeutic option in this setting.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(18)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.
