Efficacy and Safety of CD19/CD20 CAR/TRuC-T in Relapsed/Refractory B-Cell Lymphoma (CAR/TRuC-T)

March 27, 2026 updated by: Shenzhen University General Hospital
  1. Study Title:

    A Study on the Efficacy and safety of CD19/CD20 CAR/TRuC-T in Relapsed/Refractory B-Cell Lymphoma

  2. Study Objectives:

    Primary Objective: To evaluate the safety of CD19/CD20 CAR/TRuC-T cell therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma.

    Secondary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of CD19/CD20 CAR/TRuC-T cell therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma.

    Exploratory Objective: To assess in vivo expansion and persistence of infused CD19/CD20 CAR/TRuC-T cells.

  3. Participant Intervention:

Participants will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy (FC regimen: Fludarabine + Cyclophosphamide) on Days -5, -4, and -3 relative to the planned CD19/CD20 CAR/TRuC-T cell infusion. The CAR/TRuC-T cell infusion will be administered 72 hours after the completion of the FC chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

Detailed Description:

This is a prospective, interventional Phase I/II clinical study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CD19/CD20 CAR/TRuC-T cell therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma. A total of 20 patients aged 18-75 years with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma will be enrolled. All patients must have histopathologically confirmed disease and positive CD20 expression in tumor tissue.

CD19/CD20 CAR/TRuC-T cells will be administered as a single intravenous infusion at a total dose of 0.5-2 × 10^6 CAR-T cells/kg. Eligible subjects (N=20) will be assigned by the investigator to receive CD19/CD20 CAR/TRuC-T cell infusion.

Endpoints:

  • Primary Endpoint:

    o Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) within 30 days after CD19/CD20 CAR/TRuC-T cell infusion.

  • Secondary Endpoints:

    • Objective response rate (ORR = CR + PR) assessed within 8 weeks after infusion;
    • Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months;
    • In vivo expansion and persistence kinetics of infused CD19/CD20 CAR/TRuC-T cells.
