Can a Macrophage-Targeting drug supercharge CAR-T therapy?

NCT ID NCT07638982

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

Summary

This trial tests whether adding a drug called axatilimab to standard CAR-T cell therapy can improve outcomes for people with high-risk large B-cell lymphomas. Axatilimab works by conditioning macrophages, a type of immune cell, to potentially help the CAR-T cells fight cancer more effectively. The study enrolls adults with certain aggressive lymphomas who are eligible for CAR-T therapy and aims to find the safest and most effective dose of axatilimab.
