About this study
Official title: A Phase I Study of CD19-Targeted 19(T2)28z1xx Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) Modified T Cells in Adult Patients With Relapsed or Refractory B-cell Malignancies
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of 19(T2)28z1xx CAR T cells in people with relapsed/refractory B-cell cancers. The researchers will try to find the highest dose of 19(T2)28z1xx CAR T cells that causes few or mild side effects in participants. Once they find this dose, they can test it in future participants to see if it is effective in treating their relapsed/refractory B-cell cell cancers. This study will also look at whether 19(T2)28z1xx CAR T cells work against participants' cancer.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
19(T2)28z1xx CAR T cellsDrug
2-7 days following the completion of the conditioning chemotherapy, patients will receive the CAR- T cells by IV infusion over 1-3 days depending on the dose level and formulation of the final CAR- T cells.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 19(T2)28z1xx CAR T cells | Experimental | Cohorts of 3-6 patients will be infused with escalating doses of 19(T2)28z1XX CAR T cells to establish the RP2D. There are 4 planned flat-dose levels: 25x10^6, 50 x 10^6, 100 x 10^6 and 200 x 10^6 CAR T cells and one de-escalation dose: 12.5 x 10^6 CAR T cells. A standard 3+3 dose escalation design will be implemented starting from dose 1. Receives: Drug: 19(T2)28z1xx CAR T cells |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D)
Dose escalation will use a 3+3 design. DLT-evaluable participants are defined as those participants who were infused with 19(T2)28z1XX CAR T cells and who were monitored for toxicities during the first 28 days of post infusion.
Measured: 28 days post infusion
Secondary outcomes (1)
overall response rate (ORR)
Response and progression of the disease will be evaluated in this study using the Lugano Classification
Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing 19(T2)28z1xx CAR T cells in people with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma and Primary Mediastinal Large B Cell Lymphoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 7 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) (time frame: 28 days post infusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04464200, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Aug 2026.
