Recruiting PHASE2 Recurrent Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

New treatment option for Recurrent Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Official title Fecal Microbiome Transplant to Remodel Intestinal Microbiota for Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Lymphoma With Exposure to High-Risk Antibiotics Who Are Receiving Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07042438

What this study is testing

What is Axicabtagene Ciloleucel?

Axicabtagene Ciloleucel is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for recurrent diffuse large b-cell lymphoma.

Also referred to as Axi-cel, Axicel.

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 phase II trial tests how well fecal microbiome transplantation works to remodel intestinal microbiota for patients with lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) with exposure to high-risk antibiotics who are receiving chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. Fecal microbiome transplantation consists of fecal microbiota from healthy donors with healthy gut microbiota that allows re-population of the patient's microbiome with diverse protective microorganisms.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance.
