New CAR-T study aims to boost cancer treatment success
NCT ID NCT05366569
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well CAR-T cell therapy works for people with certain blood cancers like lymphoma and leukemia. Researchers will track how the modified immune cells grow and last in the body after infusion. The goal is to see if this treatment is effective in real-world settings, not just in controlled trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CAR-T cell therapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help improve how CAR-T cell therapy is used for blood cancers, potentially leading to better treatment outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. CAR-T therapy can cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome.

Who is studied
Calculation is based on the primary endpoints, i.e. the persistence of the CAR-T cells and the percentage of patients infused. As the Investigator have no formal statistical hypothesis to test, sample size justification is based on estimating the 95% confidence interval for the above percentage. Based on the UOC Hematology and Pediatric Oncohematology's experience and accrual potential, the Investigators are expecting about 180 patients newly diagnosed with DLBCL or PMBCL or ALL (potential candidate to CAR-T therapy) in a 3-year time window. About 25% of these patients are expected to be eligible to CAR T-cell treatment, corresponding to 45 patients. Thus, assuming a 25% percentage of patients infused, a sample size of 45 patients will produce a two-sided 95% confidence interval ranging from 12% to 38%, with a precision (half-width of 95% confidence interval) equal to 13%.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with B-cell-ALL (≤ 25 years) or patients with DLBCL (18-70 years) or patients with PMBCL (18-70 years) who were relapsed/refractory after two lines of treatments; * Adequate performance status (0 or 1); * Adequate organ function; * No active or uncontrolled infections; * No thrombo-embolisms within the last 6 months; * Absence of clinically relevant co-morbidities (e.g., select cardiovascular, neurologic, or immune disorders with organ dysfunction or requiring immunosuppressive treatment in the last 24 months); * Life expectancy of at least 3 months. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with B-cell-ALL \> 25 years * Patients with DLBCL \<18 or \>70 years * Patients with PMBCL \<18 or \>70 years * Performance status \> 1; * Active or uncontrolled infections; * Thrombo-embolisms within the last 6 months; * Presence of clinically relevant co-morbidities (e.g., select cardiovascular, neurologic, or immune disorders with organ dysfunction or requiring immunosuppressive treatment in the last 24 months); * Life expectancy \< 3 months.
