Supercharged immune cells take on tough lymphoma

NCT ID NCT03196830

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed Phase 2 trial tested a special type of immune cell therapy called CAR-T in 168 patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The CAR-T cells were designed to recognize four different targets on cancer cells (CD19, CD20, CD22, and CD30). Patients received the cells after a short course of chemotherapy and were followed for at least two years to see how well the treatment worked and what side effects occurred.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

CAR-T cells targeting CD19, CD20, CD22, and CD30

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for patients with hard-to-treat non-Hodgkin lymphoma who have run out of standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a single-arm, early-phase trial without a comparison group, so results may not be definitive. CAR-T therapy can cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome and neurological problems.
