Radiation boost may supercharge CAR T-Cell therapy against tough lymphoma

NCT ID NCT07676877

First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests whether adding low-dose total body irradiation (TBI) to standard chemotherapy before CAR T-cell therapy (tisagenlecleucel) is safe and effective for adults with large B-cell lymphoma that has returned or not responded to prior treatments. The study involves 18 participants and aims to find the best dose of TBI that can be given safely. If it works, this approach could help more patients achieve remission.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
low-dose total body irradiation plus tisagenlecleucel (CAR T-cell therapy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could improve the effectiveness of CAR T-cell therapy for patients with hard-to-treat large B-cell lymphoma.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 18 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Adding radiation may increase side effects like low blood counts or organ toxicity.
