NCT ID NCT05643742

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 treatment called CTX112 for people with B-cell cancers (like lymphoma or leukemia) that have not responded to standard therapy or have returned. CTX112 uses CRISPR gene editing to modify immune cells from a healthy donor, making them target and kill cancer cells. The trial has two phases: first to find the safest dose, then to see how well it works in up to 120 participants.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
CTX112 (CRISPR-edited immune cells from a donor)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with hard-to-treat B-cell cancers that have come back or not responded to other therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 120 participants, so the treatment may not work or could cause serious side effects. It is not yet proven safe or effective.

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

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years. 2. Refractory or relapsed B cell malignancy. 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0 or 1. 4. Adequate renal, liver, cardiac and pulmonary organ function. 5. Female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects must agree to use acceptable method(s) of contraception from enrollment through at least 12 months after CTX112 infusion. Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). 2. Active or history of central nervous system (CNS) involvement by malignancy. 3. History of a seizure disorder, cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage, dementia, cerebellar disease, or any autoimmune disease with CNS involvement. 4. Presence of bacterial, viral, or fungal infection that is uncontrolled or requires IV anti-infectives. 5. Active HIV, hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus infection. 6. Previous or concurrent malignancy in the last 3 years (with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer and other cancers deemed by the investigator and medical monitor to be of low likelihood for recurrence). 7. Concurrent systemic treatment with an anticancer biologic (e.g., monoclonal antibody) within 30 days prior to CTX112 infusion or with a nonbiological anticancer drug within 14 days prior to CTX112 infusion. 8. Primary immunodeficiency disorder or active autoimmune disease requiring steroids and/or other immunosuppressive therapy. 9. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
