About This Trial

This study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of C402-CD19-CAR treatment in subjects with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma and further determine the recommended Phase 2 dose of C402-CD19-CAR.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Diffuse Large B-cell-lymphoma, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

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 18 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.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: Must meet all the following Who May Qualify: 1. Male or female 18-75 years (inclusive); 2. Patients can understand this study and capable of providing willing to sign a consent form; 3. Patients with willingness to be in the study and comply with the study visit procedures and other protocol requirements; 4. Diagnosed with CD19-positive large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) based on cytology or histology according to the WHO 2016 standards, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (DLBCL-NOS), grade 3b follicular lymphoma (FL), transformed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBL), high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL) with MYC, BCL-2, and/or BCL-6 rearrangements, and high-grade B-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (HGBL-NOS). For CD19 expression status, subjects with a clear past record of tumor histological diagnosis as CD19-positive (within 6 months prior to screening with no CD19-related treatment in the last 6 months) and tumors showing CD19-positive lymphoma levels ≥ 50% by IHC or CD19-positive lymphoma levels ≥ 70% by flow cytometry. If there is no previous CD19 tumor testing or the result is over 6 months prior to screening, a new tumor pathology sample must be provided or re-collected for CD19-positive diagnosis by the institution, with IHC showing CD19-positive lymphoma levels ≥ 50% or flow cytometry showing CD19-positive lymphoma levels ≥ 70%. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Treatments Being Tested

BIOLOGICAL

C402-CD19-CAR

Enrolled subjects will undergo apheresis to acquire peripheral blood mononuclear cells. C402-CD19-CAR will be generated from the subject's autologous T cells modified from the apheresis product. After C402-CD19-CAR production and product release, subjects will be administered with a single dose of C402-CD19-CAR via subcutaneous injection.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
