RECRUITINGPhase 2INTERVENTIONAL

A Phase II Study of Loncastuximab Tesirine as Consolidation Strategy in Patients With LBCL in PR After CAR T-cell Therapy

A Phase II Study of Loncastuximab Tesirine as Consolidation Strategy in Patients With LBCL in PR After CAR T-cell Therapy (NCT05464719) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Large B-cell Lymphoma and Lymphoma, sponsored by M.d. Anderson Cancer Center. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

To learn if loncastuximab tesirine (called "lonca" in this informed consent form) can help to control large B-cell lymphoma that is relapsed or refractory after receiving CAR T-cell therapy. The safety and possible effects of the study therapy will also be studied.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Large B-cell 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.

With a target enrollment of 30 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Resolution of any previous CRS and/or ICANS to grade 0. 4.3 Exclusion criteria Subjects will be ineligible for this study if they meet the following criteria: 1. Clinically significant third space fluid accumulation (i.e., ascites requiring drainage or pleural effusion that is either requiring drainage or associated with shortness of breath) 2.
