What this study is testing

What is CRC01?

CRC01 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for relapsed large b-cell lymphoma.

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
This is a multi-center, phase I/II study to determine the efficacy and safety of CRC01 in adult patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma and B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
