CAR T-cell trial offers promising second-line therapy for B-cell lymphoma

Patients who have relapsed or failed first-line treatment for aggressive forms of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma may qualify to receive a promising CAR T-cell therapy in a new clinical trial at Providence Cancer Institute:

Study: Lisocabtagene Maraleucel (JCAR017) as Second-Line Therapy (TRANSCEND-NHL-006) for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma

JCAR017 is an investigational CAR T-cell therapy that modifies a patient’s own T-cells to express proteins called CARs (chimeric antigen receptors), which help T-cells recognize tumor cells and go after them. A Phase I study of JCAR017 in people with aggressive forms of B-cell lymphoma found that it provided “a durable reduction or eradication of cancer,” including complete cancer eradication in just over half of the patients.

CAR T-cell therapy is a major research priority for the Earle A. Chiles Research Institute, a division of Providence Cancer Institute in the Robert W. Franz Cancer Center. Read more about JCAR017 in Immuno-Oncology News, and find out more about adoptive T-cell therapy research at Providence.

Providence is one of only two centers in the United States currently participating in this clinical trial. For more information or to enroll a patient, call our Clinical Research office at 503-215-2614. Call us early for consideration, before the patient receives a salvage therapy or stem cell transplant.
