Second CAR t infusion: a new hope for lymphoma patients who relapse?

NCT ID NCT05794958

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing whether a second infusion of the CAR T-cell therapy Axi-Cel (called Axi-Cel-2) is safe for people with high-risk large B-cell lymphoma whose cancer came back after standard CAR T treatment. About 20 adults will receive the second infusion and be monitored closely for side effects. The goal is to see if this approach can be a safe option for controlling the disease.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

axicabtagene ciloleucel (Axi-Cel-2), a CAR T-cell therapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a second chance at controlling lymphoma for patients who relapse after their first CAR T treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a very early (phase 1) and small (20 people) safety study. The second infusion may cause severe side effects like cytokine release syndrome or neurotoxicity, and it may not effectively control the cancer.
