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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

CAR T-cell therapy attacks cancer cells but can also wipe out healthy B cells, leaving patients with low antibody levels and a higher risk of serious infections. This trial studies immunoglobulin replacement therapy, given either through a vein or under the skin, in adults who have low antibody levels within six months of CD19-targeted CAR T-cell treatment. Researchers track serious infections, antibiotic use, quality of life, and side effects to see how the two delivery methods compare.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
immunoglobulin replacement therapy given through a vein or under the skin
What this could lead to
If it works, this could clarify the best way to give immunoglobulin replacement and lower the risk of serious infections after CAR T-cell therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small study of 30 people, so it may not show clear differences between the two delivery methods. Immunoglobulin can cause infusion reactions, and it does not restore the immune system's own antibody production.
