About This Trial

The study is a Phase II, single-arm, open-label, single-dose clinical trial, and its primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CNCT19 Cell Injection in the treatment of relapsed or refractory NHL.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 60 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.
