Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Non-hodgkin Lymphoma

New treatment option for Non-hodgkin Lymphoma

Official title TCR Reserved and Power3 (SPPL3) Gene Knock-out Allogeneic CD19-targeting CAR-T Cell Therapy in r/r B Cell Lymphoma

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06323525

What this study is testing

What is TCR reserved and Power3 (SPPL3) gene knock-out allogeneic CD19-targeting CAR-T cell (ATHENA-2 CAR-T)?

TCR reserved and Power3 (SPPL3) gene knock-out allogeneic CD19-targeting CAR-T cell (ATHENA-2 CAR-T) is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for non-hodgkin 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
The safety and efficacy of the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T, a CD19-targeting, TRAC and Power3 (SPPL3) double genes deleted allogeneic CAR-T cell product, are undergoing rigorous evaluation in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) subjects from our ATHENA trial (NCT06014073). Unexpectedly, expansion of the initial residual CD3-positive CAR T from products were measured in patients' peripheral blood (PB) without exception.

  • Evaluation of PD (never reached response or SD) after standard first-line treatment, or
  • SD as best response after at least 4 cycles of first-line therapy (eg,4 cycles of R-CHOP), or
