CD19/ CD22 Bispecific CAR-T Cell Therapy for Relapsed/ Refractory Large B-cell Lymphoma: A Prospective, Single-Arm, Single-Center, Phase 2 Trial

CAR-T cell therapy targeting CD19 has been shown to be effective in heavily-pretreated B-cell ALL or NHL, but relapses post-CAR-T are common, and CD19 antigen loss is one of the reasons. Thus, the investigators supposed that CD19/CD22 bispecific CAR-T cell therapy would be more effective and less relapses would occur in B- NHL. In this prospective phase 2 clinical trial, the investigators aim to explore the efficacy and safety of CD19/CD22 bispecific CAR-T cell therapy in relapsed/refractory Large B cell lymphoma.

Detailed Description

Large B cell lymphoma (LBCL) is the most common aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in adults. While approximately 60% of patients can be cured with first-line therapy, a subset of patients experiences relapse or refractory disease (R/R). The prognosis for R/R LBCL patients is poor, with limited efficacy from traditional treatments such as autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and novel targeted agents. Chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cell therapy involves genetically engineering T cells to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that target tumor-specific antigens, enabling precise elimination of tumor cells. CD19 is the most commonly targeted antigen in B-cell malignancies, however, antigen escape following CD19 CAR-T therapy can lead to disease relapse in some patients. Studies indicate that CD22 is widely expressed in B-cell malignancies and exhibits incomplete overlap with CD19 expression, suggesting that dual-target CAR-T therapy may more comprehensively eradicate tumor cells. Therefore, dual-target CAR-T therapy, particularly strategies targeting both CD19 and CD22, has emerged as a promising approach to overcome antigen escape and enhance therapeutic outcomes. In this prospective study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CD19/CD22 bispecific CAR-T cell (CAR2219) therapy in patients with R/R LBCL.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.
