What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a new CAR-T therapy made from donor cells, so it's ready to use without waiting for a patient's own cells to be modified. It targets two proteins on cancer cells to lower the chance of the cancer coming back. About 178 adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma or leukemia will receive one infusion after chemotherapy. The main goals are to find a safe dose and see how many patients achieve complete remission by week 13.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Allo-QuadCAR01-T (donor CAR-T cells targeting CD19 and CD20)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a faster, cheaper off-the-shelf treatment option for patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell cancers.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 1/2 trial, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. There are risks of severe side effects like cytokine release syndrome or graft-versus-host disease.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults 18 years or older. * Diagnosed with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). * Must have received at least 2 prior lines of therapy. * ECOG performance status 0-1 (able to carry out daily activities). * Adequate organ function (heart, liver, kidneys). * HLA B/C match with donor cells. * No active uncontrolled infections. Exclusion Criteria: * Active CNS involvement (including PCNSL) in dose escalation cohorts; may be allowed in later cohorts with Sponsor approval. * Prior CAR-T within 3 months of screening, or ≥Grade 3 ICAHT from prior CAR-T. * Autologous stem cell transplant within 3 months. * Prior allogeneic stem cell transplant or solid organ transplant. * Prior therapy with dual CD19/CD20 CAR-T. * Severe hypersensitivity to trial agents or similar compounds. * History of GvHD or post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. * Presence of La/SS-B autoantibodies or related autoimmune diseases. * Other malignancy that may interfere with trial, except: * Curatively treated basal/squamous skin cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ * Low-grade, early-stage prostate cancer (Gleason ≤6, Stage 1-2) with no therapy needed * Adjuvant endocrine therapy for non-metastatic breast cancer (≥2 years) * Any other curatively treated malignancy in remission ≥2 years * Active viral infection within 1 week of screening, or serious bacterial/fungal infection. * Hemorrhagic cystitis. * Active neuro-autoimmune disease (e.g., MS, Guillain-Barré, ALS). * Active or residual HBV, HCV, or syphilis. * Active HIV. History of HIV may be eligible with Sponsor approval if: * Neurological disorders within 6 months (e.g., stroke, dementia, Parkinson's, cerebellar disease, CNS autoimmune disease). * Significant cardiac disease within 6 months (e.g., MI, stent, unstable angina). * Primary immunodeficiency or autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within 1 year (unless stable and Sponsor-approved). * Unresolved ≥Grade 2 non-hematologic toxicity from prior therapy (except neuropathy up to Grade 2). * Systemic immunosuppression within 28 days. * Last systemic lymphoma/CLL therapy (standard or investigational) within 28 days or 5 half-lives. * Major surgery within 14 days. * Local radiation within 28 days. * Live vaccination within 28 days. * Pregnant or breastfeeding.
