About this study
Official title: A Phase 2, Open-label, Multicenter Study of MB-105 in Patients With CD5 Positive (CD5+) Relapsed / Refractory T-cell Lymphoma (r/r TCL).
This is a single arm, two-stage, Phase 2, open-label, multicenter study of MB-105 in patients with CD5 Positive (CD5+) Relapsed / Refractory T-cell Lymphoma (r/r TCL). This study will apply a Simon two-stage optimal design.
Read the detailed description
The first stage of the Simon two-stage design will enroll approximately 15 evaluable patients. Once the first 6 patients are enrolled, have received one dose of MB-105 at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and completed at least up to Day 30 of the study, the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) will perform a safety analysis. The IDMC will use this analysis to confirm that the RP2D selected for this Phase 2 study is the appropriate dose of MB-105 for further clinical evaluation. The IDMC will either recommend continuing the remainder of the study at the fixed dose of 50 million (5 x 107) Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) positive cells or recommend other actions, which could include repeating the safety run-in with either a lower or higher dose. The IDMC will not recommend a MB-105 dose greater than those found safe in the phase 1 study. During the safety analysis period after the 6th patient is treated and awaiting data analysis, patients will continue to be screened but not dosed until the IDMC recommendation is made.
If the IDMC confirms the suggested RP2D is the appropriate dose for further clinical evaluation, the study will enroll an additional 9 patients to complete 15 total patients for Stage 1 to obtain a preliminary estimate of response rate per Lugano criteria for peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and 2022 Global criteria for cutaneous cases (CTCL). At the end of Stage 1, defined as when the last patient enrolled completes study visits up to Day 56, including efficacy assessment, the IDMC will convene to review all available Stage 1 data and recommend continuation to Stage 2 or closure of enrollment.
Stage 2 will enroll approximately 31 patients, for a total of 46 patients in the study. During Stage 2 the IDMC will convene at least once every 6 months to review safety and efficacy on an ongoing basis. No formal interim analysis is planned after the end of Stage 1, but since this is an open-label study, interim data extracts may be performed to support abstract submissions, presentations, or regulatory discussions. The study will end once the last patient completes at least 12 months of follow-up and end of study (EOS) visit. After EOS, all patients will be asked to participate in a separate long term follow-up (LTFU) study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Genetic: MB-105 in people with Lymphoma, T-Cell, run by March Biosciences Inc at 12 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 28 inclusion and 22 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Oct 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 12 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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?
Contact Federica Giordano, Ph.D. (7138980838 ext. +1, clinicaltrials@march.bio), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Adverse events (AEs) per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 (time frame: 26 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 3 Oct 2025.
