Second chance: experimental access to CAR T-Cell therapy for patients whose treatment batches Don't meet commercial standards
NCT ID NCT05776134
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This expanded access study provides brexacabtagene autoleucel (Tecartus) to patients with mantle cell lymphoma or acute lymphoblastic leukemia whose commercially manufactured batch did not meet release specifications but still meets internal clinical trial criteria. Eligible patients receive a single infusion of their own genetically modified immune cells. The goal is to offer a treatment option when the commercial product is unavailable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Brexucabtagene autoleucel (Tecartus), a CAR T-cell therapy made from the patient's own immune cells
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a treatment option for patients who otherwise have no access to their prescribed CAR T-cell therapy due to manufacturing issues.
- What could go wrong
- This is an expanded access program, not a formal trial, so data on safety and effectiveness is limited. The therapy itself carries risks like severe immune reactions and neurological side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Have commercially manufactured brexucabtagene autoleucel that does not meet commercial release criteria but does meet Kite clinical trial release criteria * Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (females who have undergone surgical sterilization or who have been post-menopausal for at least 2 years are not considered to be of childbearing potential) * Deemed medically fit and stable to receive the product per the investigator's evaluation * Repeat leukapheresis is not feasible per the investigator's assessment * Be diagnosed with 1 of the approved labeled indications for brexucabtagene autoleucel that is intended for release * In the Investigator's opinion, there is no satisfactory alternative therapy available to the individual Exclusion Criteria: * History of severe immediate hypersensitivity to any drugs or metabolites of similar chemical classes as brexucabtagene autoleucel * Uncontrolled active infection or inflammation per physician assessment * Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma
