NCT ID NCT04514029

First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study tests whether giving two drugs—simvastatin (a cholesterol pill) and dexamethasone (a steroid injected into the spine)—can safely prevent or reduce brain-related side effects from a powerful lymphoma cell therapy called axi-cel. About 37 adults with certain types of B-cell lymphoma that did not respond to prior treatments will take part. The main goal is to see if this approach is safe and feasible, not yet to prove it works.
