CRISPR-Tweaked donor cells take on Hard-to-Treat blood cancers
NCT ID NCT04035434
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new treatment called CTX110 for people with B-cell blood cancers that came back or didn't respond to standard therapy. CTX110 uses donor immune cells that are edited with CRISPR technology to target and attack cancer cells. The trial enrolled 93 adults and aimed to check safety and how well the treatment works, but it was stopped early, so the full results are not available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CTX110 (CRISPR-edited donor immune cells targeting CD19)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a readily available 'off-the-shelf' cell therapy for certain blood cancers, reducing the need for patient-specific treatments.
- What could go wrong
- The trial was terminated early, so data is limited. As an early-phase study, safety and effectiveness are not yet proven, and there are risks like graft-versus-host disease and severe side effects.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. For NHL patients: Age ≥18 years. For B cell ALL patients: age ≥18 years to ≤70 years 2. Refractory or relapsed non-Hodgkin lymphoma, as evidenced by 2 or more lines of prior therapy, or histologically confirmed B cell ALL, refractory or relapsed. 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0 or 1. 4. Adequate renal, liver, cardiac and pulmonary organ function 5. Female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects must agree to use acceptable method(s) of contraception from enrollment through at least 12 months after CTX110 infusion. Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. For NHL patients: prior allogeneic HSCT. For B cell ALL patients: prior allogeneic HSCT within 6 months, and/or any evidence of GvHD. 2. History of central nervous system (CNS) involvement by malignancy 3. History of a seizure disorder, cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage, dementia, cerebellar disease, or any autoimmune disease with CNS involvement. 4. Presence of bacterial, viral, or fungal infection that is uncontrolled. 5. Positive for HIV, or active hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus infection. 6. Previous or concurrent malignancy, except basal cell or squamous cell skin carcinoma, adequately resected and in situ carcinoma of cervix, or a previous malignancy that was completely resected and has been in remission for ≥5 years. 7. For NHL patients: Use of systemic anti-tumor therapy or investigational agent within 14 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, of CTX110 infusion. For B cell ALL patients: Use of systemic antitumor therapy within 7 days of CTX110 infusion. 8. Primary immunodeficiency disorder or active autoimmune disease requiring steroids and/or other immunosuppressive therapy. 9. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
