New combo therapy aims to beat tough lymphoma
NCT ID NCT07326371
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining two powerful treatments—glofitamab and CAR-T therapy—can help people with a high-risk, hard-to-treat type of large B-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to prior treatment. About 24 adults will receive the combination and be monitored for tumor shrinkage and side effects. The goal is to see if this approach improves response rates and disease control.

Inclusion Criteria: * Signed Informed Consent Form * Histologically confirmed large B==cell lymphoma with CD19 and CD20 expression, including diffuse large B==cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified (NOS); primary mediastinal large B==cell lymphoma (PMBCL); high==grade B==cell lymphoma (HGBL); and DLBCL transformed from follicular lymphoma * Patients who have relapsed after at least one prior line of therapy or are refractory, including those who have received anthracycline==containing chemotherapy regimens and anti==CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy * Patients must be willing to receive CAR==T and Glofitamab therapy and be deemed suitable for CAR==T and Glofitamab treatment by the investigator * Presence of at least one high==risk prognostic factor: (1) extranodal involvement; (2) maximum tumor diameter \> 4 cm; (3) TP53 mutation * No CNS involvement * ECOG Performance Status of 0, 1, or 2 * Life expectancy ≥12 weeks * Adequate hematologic function (unless due to underlying disease, such as extensive bone marrow involvement, or secondary to lymphoma==related splenomegaly as determined by the investigator, but transfusion of blood products is allowed) and adequate liver, renal, pulmonary, and cardiac function, defined as follows: * Neutrophil count ≥ 1.0 × 10\^9/L, platelet count ≥ 50 × 10\^9/L, lymphocyte count ≥ 0.1 × 10\^9/L * ALT/AST ≤ 2.5 × ULN and total bilirubin \< 1.5 × ULN (except for participants with Gilbert's syndrome or lymphoma involvement of the liver) * Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min * Pulmonary function: ≤ CTCAE grade 1 dyspnea, oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≥ 92% on room air * Cardiac function: LVEF ≥ 40% * Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to initiating study treatment. Women who are postmenopausal (defined as no menses for ≥ 12 months without an alternative medical cause) or have undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus) are not required to undergo a pregnancy test * For female participants of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraception, and agree to refrain from donating eggs * For male participants: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods, and agree to refrain from donating sperm * Patients with a distant history of autoimmune disease or well==controlled autoimmune disease may be eligible for enrollment at the investigator's discretion * Patients with a history of autoimmune==related hypothyroidism who are on a stable dose of thyroid replacement hormone may be eligible for this study * Patients with a history of disease==related immune thrombocytopenic purpura or autoimmune hemolytic anemia may be eligible for this study * Patients with a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus who are well controlled (defined as hemoglobin A1c \< 8% at screening and no episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis) are eligible for this study * Patients with eczema, psoriasis, chronic lichen simplex, or vitiligo with only skin involvement (e.g., excluding psoriatic arthritis) are eligible for this study if they meet all of the following conditions: Rash must cover \< 10% of body surface area The disease is well controlled at baseline and only requires low==potency topical corticosteroids No acute exacerbations of an underlying condition requiring psoralen plus ultraviolet A radiation, methotrexate, retinoids, biologics, oral calcineurin inhibitors, or high==potency oral corticosteroids within the past 12 months * Subjects with a history of stroke who have not experienced a stroke or transient ischemic attack in the past 2 years and have no residual neurological deficits, as determined by the investigator, may participate in this study Exclusion Criteria: * History of allergic reactions to compounds with similar chemical or biological composition to axi==cel, relma==cel, glofitamab, obinutuzumab, or other drugs used in the study. * Active or uncontrolled infections requiring systemic therapy (including fungal, bacterial, viral, etc.) * History of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation * History of organ transplantation * Viral infections deemed uncontrollable by antiviral medications, as determined by the investigator, including: * Active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with HBV DNA ≥ 500 IU/mL (2500 copies/mL) * Positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA test * Positive human immunodeficiency virus antibody (HIV==Ab) test * Positive Treponema pallidum antibody (TP==Ab) test * Cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA levels above the upper limit of normal * Epstein==Barr virus (EBV) DNA levels above the upper limit of normal * Current or past history of CNS disease, such as stroke, epilepsy, CNS vasculitis, or neurodegenerative disease * Presence of brain metastases or active primary central nervous system lymphoma * Significant or extensive history of cardiovascular disease such as New York Heart Association Class III or IV cardiac disease or Objective Assessment Class C or D, myocardial infarction within the last 6 months prior to the start of Cycle 1, unstable arrhythmias, or unstable angina * Presence of severe genetic disorders or severe autoimmune diseases, including but not limited to myocarditis, pneumonitis, myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, antiphospholipid syndrome==associated vascular thrombosis, Wegener's granulomatosis, Sjögren's syndrome, Guillain==Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, vasculitis, or glomerulonephritis * Known or suspected history of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) * Thromboembolic events (e.g., myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, or other systemic embolic events) within 6 months prior to screening * Malignancies other than the indication for this trial within 5 years prior to screening, except for in situ cancers (e.g., cervical, bladder, breast) or non==melanoma skin cancers * Receipt of chemotherapy drugs, tumor radiotherapy, or immunosuppressive antibodies such as anti==TNF, anti==IL6, or anti==IL6R within 4 weeks or 5 half==lives (whichever is shorter) prior to mononuclear cell collection * Vaccination with live, attenuated vaccines within 3 months prior to mononuclear cell collection, or expected need for such vaccination during the trial * Currently pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study or within 12 months after the last dose * Patients currently participating in other clinical trials (e.g., new drug clinical trials, registration studies, investigator==initiated clinical studies) * Deemed unsuitable for this clinical trial by the investigator (e.g., poor compliance, substance abuse) * Evidence of significant, uncontrolled concomitant diseases that could affect compliance with the study protocol or interpretation of results * Any other diseases, metabolic dysfunctions, physical examination findings, or clinical laboratory results that reasonably suggest the presence of a condition that contraindicates the use of the investigational drug
