Engineered immune cells show promise against stubborn lymphoma
NCT ID NCT03105336
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a one-time treatment using a person's own immune cells, modified to attack cancer, in 159 adults with follicular or marginal zone lymphoma that had returned after at least two prior therapies. The main goal was to see how many patients had their tumors shrink or disappear. While the therapy can lead to remission, ongoing monitoring and potential follow-up treatments mean it is considered disease control rather than a cure.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Individual has follicular lymphoma (FL) or marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) that has progressed after at least 2 lines of treatment with combination chemoimmunotherapy) (e.g. R-bendamustine, R-CHOP). * Individual has (measurable disease). * Individual has no known presence or history of central nervous system (CNS) involvement by lymphoma. * If individual is on conventional systemic therapy or systemic inhibitory/stimulatory immune checkpoint therapy, individual is able to stop conventional therapy 2 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, or immune checkpoint therapy 3 half-lives prior to planned leukapheresis. * Individual has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1 and adequate renal, hepatic, pulmonary, and cardiac function * Individual is not pregnant or breastfeeding (female individuals only) and is willing to use birth control from the time of consent through 12 months following chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell infusion (both male and female individuals). Key Exclusion Criteria: * Transformed FL or MZL * Small lymphocytic lymphoma * Histological Grade 3b FL * Individual will have undergone autologous transplant within 6 weeks of planned leukapheresis or has undergone allogeneic transplant. * Individual has evidence of involvement of the heart by lymphoma or requirement for urgent therapy due to ongoing or impending oncologic emergency (e.g. mass effect, tumor lysis syndrome, etc.) Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
