Engineered immune cells take aim at Hard-to-Treat lymphomas

NCT ID NCT03277729

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

Summary

This study tests a treatment made from a patient's own immune cells, which are genetically modified to recognize and attack a protein called CD20 on cancer cells. It is for people with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned or not responded to prior therapy. The main goals are to find the safest dose and see if the treatment can shrink tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

CD20-targeted CAR T-cells (a type of immune cell therapy)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with B-cell lymphomas that have come back or not responded to standard therapy.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with only 53 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. CAR T-cell therapy can cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome or nervous system problems.
