ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04792489
What this study is testing
What is zamtocabtagene autoleucel (MB-CART2019.1)?
zamtocabtagene autoleucel (MB-CART2019.1) is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for refractory diffuse large b cell lymphoma (dlbcl).
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- DALY II USA is a phase II, multi-center, single arm study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of zamtocabtagene autoleucel (MB-CART2019.1) in patients with relapsed and/or refractory B cell lymphoma (BCL). Cohorts include subjects with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after receiving at least 2 lines of therapy, primary or secondary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma (PCNSL) and (SCNSL) after receiving at least one line of therapy, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and Richter's transformation (RT) after receiving at least one line of therapy, and DLBCL transplant-ineligible after receiving at least one line of therapy.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Time commitment: about 2 years
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
