New combo aims to tackle lymphoma that survives CAR-T
NCT ID NCT06760156
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 study tests whether the drugs tafasitamab and lenalidomide can shrink or eliminate large B-cell lymphoma that remains after treatment with CAR-T therapy (axicabtagene ciloleucel). About 28 adults with this type of lymphoma will receive the drug combination for up to 12 months. The main goal is to see how many patients achieve a complete response, meaning no cancer is detectable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- tafasitamab and lenalidomide
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for patients whose lymphoma remains after CAR-T therapy, potentially improving remission rates.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 28 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drugs can cause side effects like low blood counts, infections, or blood clots.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must have histologically documented history of large B-cell lymphoma, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, high grade B-cell lymphoma, and DLBCL arising from follicular lymphoma. * Adult males or females must be of age ≥18 years or older at time of signing informed consent. * Patients must be capable of understanding the protocol with willingness to comply with all study procedures including availability for the duration of the study. * Patients must be able to understand and willing to sign a written informed consent form (ICF) document. * Measurable PET/CT positive disease (partial response or stable disease per the 2014 Lugano Classification) on PET/CT obtained at least 21 days after, but no more than 60 days after CAR-T with axicabtagene-ciloleucel. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2. * Participants must have adequate organ and bone marrow function. * Patients must have adequate hepatic function. * Patients must have adequate renal function. * Baseline Oxygen Saturation \>92% on room air. * Females of reproductive potential must avoid pregnancy for at least 4 weeks before beginning lenalidomide therapy, during therapy, during dose interruptions and for at least 4 weeks after completing therapy. Females must commit either to abstain continuously from heterosexual sexual intercourse or to use two methods of reliable birth control, beginning 4 weeks prior to initiating treatment with lenalidomide, during therapy, during dose interruptions and continuing for 4 weeks following discontinuation of lenalidomide therapy. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who are currently receiving or who have received any investigational study agent ≤4 weeks prior to the screening visit are ineligible. * Detectable cerebrospinal fluid malignant cells, brain metastases, or active central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma after CAR T cell administration. * History or presence of CNS disorder, such as seizure disorder, cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage, dementia, cerebellar disease, or any autoimmune disease with CNS involvement. * Presence of bacterial, viral, fungal, and/or other infection of any origin that is uncontrolled and/or requires intravenous (IV) antimicrobials for treatment. * Known cardiac atrial or cardiac ventricular lymphoma involvement. * History of symptomatic pulmonary embolism within 6 months of enrollment. * Known primary immunodeficiency. * History of autoimmune disease (e.g. Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus) resulting in end organ injury or requiring systemic immunosuppression/systemic disease modifying agents within the last 2 years. * History of hypersensitivity, allergy or severe skin reactions to lenalidomide (e.g., angioedema, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis). * History of hypersensitivity, allergy or previous exposure to tafasitamab. * Any medical condition deemed by the treating physician likely to interfere with assessment of safety or efficacy of study treatment.
