Engineered immune cells show promise against Hard-to-Treat lymphoma
NCT ID NCT03568461
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested a treatment called tisagenlecleucel, a type of CAR-T cell therapy, in 98 adults with follicular lymphoma that had come back or stopped responding to other treatments. The therapy works by reprogramming a patient's own immune cells to find and attack cancer cells. The main goal was to see how many patients had their cancer completely disappear after treatment.
