Armored cells take on tough lymphoma in early trial
NCT ID NCT07368270
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tests a new type of immune cell therapy called anti-PD1 armored CD19 CAR-T cells in 30 adults with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. The cells are designed to better attack cancer and resist exhaustion. The main goal is to check safety and find the right dose.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Anti-PD1 armored CD19 CAR-T cells
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more effective treatment for hard-to-treat lymphoma by helping the immune system fight cancer longer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 30 people, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. Side effects like cytokine release syndrome or nerve problems are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * 1\. Subjects voluntarily participate in clinical research and sign informed consent. * 2\. Adult subjects (age ≥18 ) with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a) failure to achieve CR after 6 cycles, or PR after 3 cycles, of first-line therapy, or achieve CR after first-line therapy but relapse within 12 months; b) achieve CR after systemic treatment, but are refractory or relapsed, and no plan to transplant, or prepare for transplantation but cannot meet transplantation criteria after second-line therapy; c) not achieve CR after at least two courses of second-line treatment (including autologous stem cell transplantation). * 3\. Expected survival ≥ 3 months. * 4\. At least one measurable lesion as per revised IWG response criteria for malignant lymphom (2014 Lugano criteria). * 5\. CD19 positive expression are detected on tumor cells of subjects by flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry. * 6\. ECOG score ≤ 2. * 7\. Subjects with adequate organ functions prior to enrollment, meet the following laboratory values: * Renal function: serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m². * Hepatic function: Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 5 × age-specific ULN and total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL, except in subjects with Gilbert-Meulengracht syndrome. If total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 × ULN and direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN, subjects with Gilbert-Meulengracht syndrome are included. * Pulmonary reserve: ≤ Grade 1 dyspnea and oxygen saturation \>95% on room air. * 8\. Stable hemodynamics and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 45 % assessed by echocardiography or multi-gated radionuclide angiography (MUGA). * 9\. Adequate bone-marrow reserve without blood transfusion as defined by: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1 x 10\^9/L. * Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) ≥ 0.1 x 10\^9/L. * Platelets ≥ 50 x 10\^9/L. * Hemoglobin \>80g/L. * 10\. In the investigator's judgment, subjects' general condition and all biochemical values are either normal or sufficiently compensated to receive lymphodepletion and CAR-T cell therapy. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or planned pregnancy within 6 months. * 2\. Infectious disease(HIV, Active Tuberculosis ect.). * 3\. Active infection: hepatitis B, hepatitis C. * 4\. Abnormal vital signs or refuse to receive examination. * 5\. Subjects with psychiatric or psychological disorders are unable to complete treatment or efficacy assessment. * 6.History of severe hypersensitivity or known hypersensitivity to IL-2. * 7\. Systemic or local severe infection requiring antimicrobial therapy. * 8\. Significant dysfunction of vital organs (heart, lung, brain, kidney, etc.), or in the investigator's judgment, subjects are unable to be enrolled with any other condition.
