New drug aims to keep lymphoma in check after CAR-T treatment
NCT ID NCT07622784
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether the drug pirtobrutinib can help prevent relapse in people with B-cell lymphoma who have already received CAR-T cell therapy. Twenty adults will take pirtobrutinib daily for six months after their CAR-T infusion. The main goal is to see how many achieve a complete response at six months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- pirtobrutinib
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a way to keep lymphoma from coming back after CAR-T therapy, potentially improving long-term control.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 20 people, so results may not apply widely. Pirtobrutinib may cause side effects or fail to improve outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria: * Able to understand and voluntarily sign the informed consent form. * Age 18 years or older, male or female. * Histologically confirmed large B-cell lymphoma, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, high-grade B-cell lymphoma, or transformed follicular lymphoma (tFL). * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 2. * Has received commercial anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy, with informed consent obtained before Day 28 after CAR-T cell infusion. * Prior anti-lymphoma therapy-related adverse events, especially CAR-T-related adverse events, have stabilized and recovered to Grade 1 or lower, except for clinically insignificant toxicities. Exclusion Criteria: * History of other malignancies, except non-melanoma skin cancer without recurrence for more than 3 years, carcinoma in situ, such as cervical, bladder, or breast carcinoma, or follicular lymphoma. * Prior autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. * Active or suspected uncontrolled fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection requiring intravenous treatment. Patients with uncomplicated urinary tract infection or uncomplicated bacterial pharyngitis may be enrolled if responding to active treatment. * History of immunodeficiency, including human immunodeficiency virus infection; positive treponema pallidum antibody; active hepatitis B virus infection; or active hepatitis C virus infection. * Current or prior history of benign central nervous system disease, such as seizure, cerebrovascular ischemia or hemorrhage, dementia, cerebellar disease, or any central nervous system-related autoimmune disease. * Lymphoma involvement of the atrium or ventricle. * Autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory therapy within 2 years. * History of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism within 6 months before enrollment. * Any comorbidity that may affect or interfere with safety or efficacy assessment.
