Engineered immune cells take on tough lymphoma in new trial

NCT ID NCT07288879

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a new CAR T cell therapy called MB-CART2019.1 in 31 people with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments. The therapy uses a patient's own immune cells, genetically modified to target and kill cancer cells. The main goal is to see how many patients' tumors shrink or disappear one month after treatment.

What this could mean

Active substance

CAR T cell therapy (MB-CART2019.1)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for patients with hard-to-treat DLBCL that has not responded to standard therapies.
