New CAR t therapy targets hidden lymphoma cells after initial treatment
NCT ID NCT06500273
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tests a new cell therapy called cemacabtagene ansegedleucel (cema-cel) in adults with large B-cell lymphoma who still have tiny amounts of cancer cells (minimal residual disease) after finishing their first standard treatment. About 250 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either cema-cel or standard monitoring. The goal is to see if this therapy can prevent the cancer from coming back.

LBCL per WHO 2017 including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, high-grade B-cell lymphoma, and primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma histologically confirmed by pathology report. 2. Participant has completed a full course of standard first line therapy (e.g., R-CHOP, dose-adjusted EPOCH-R, Pola-R-CHP) as intended. Participants cannot have received additional lines of therapy. 3. Participant achieved CR, or PR suitable for observation, at the end of first line therapy based on PET/CT evaluation 4. Foresight CLARITY™ IUO MRD test, powered by PhasED-Seq™, is positive. 5. Adult participants ≥18 years of age. 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 or 1. 7. Adequate hematological, renal, hepatic, pulmonary, and cardiac function 8. Non-hematologic toxicities related to prior therapy must be recovered to baseline or grade ≤1. Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. LBCL with history of central nervous system involvement, transformed from other malignancy (e.g., transformed follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma, Richter's transformation), or T-cell/histiocyte rich LBCL. 2. Prior treatment with anti-CD19 targeted therapies. 3. Anti-cancer treatment, including radiation, after end of treatment PET/CT and/or MRD testing is performed. 4.
