New treatment option for Primary Central Nervous System (CNS) Lymphoma
Official title A Study of MB-CART19.1 Cellular Therapy for People With Central Nervous System Lymphoma (CNSL)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07137494
What this study is testing
What is MB-CART19.1 Cellular Therapy?
MB-CART19.1 Cellular Therapy is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for primary central nervous system (cns) 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 study will test whether MB-CART19.1 is a safe and effective treatment for central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL). This study will test different doses of MB-CART19.1 to find the highest dose that causes few or mild side effects in participants.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
