Can a simple test predict CAR t success? new study hopes to find out
NCT ID NCT07472972
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new combination of blood tests, scans, and health checks to see if it can predict which lymphoma patients will respond well to CAR T cell therapy. Researchers will follow 50 patients with relapsed or hard-to-treat B-cell lymphoma who are already scheduled for standard CAR T treatment. The main goal is to see if the full test can be completed for each patient, not yet to change treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this tool could help doctors choose the best treatment for each lymphoma patient before starting CAR T therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study (50 participants) focused on whether the test can be completed, not yet on improving outcomes. The tool may not accurately predict responses in larger groups.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population includes patients with lymphoid malignancies receiving anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. This population is at high risk for disease progression. 50 patients in total will be enrolled in the study. The study does not include an additional control group but the risk analysis in arm B will be performed with blinding to the patient outcome. We expect to have a balanced sex proportion within our trial.

Inclusion Criteria: * Written informed consent before registration and prior to any trial specific procedures * Participants ≥ 18 years of age * Diagnosis of relapse/refractory B-cell lymphoma according to WHO 2022 classification * Measurable disease per response criteria specific to the disease e.g. per Lugano 2014 criteria * Patients planned for CD19-redirected CAR T cell therapy according to clinical standard of care * Patients who are willing to donate peripheral blood and biopsy material at indicated clinical visits Exclusion Criteria: * Any condition, which precludes initiation of CD19-redirected CAR T cell therapy (e.g. breast feeding, pregnancy, infections, etc.) as judged by the treating physician * Any coexisting medical or psychological condition that would preclude participation in the required study procedures, as judged by the treating physician * Unwillingness or inability to comply with the protocol
