Axi-cel in CNS Lymphoma (NCT04608487)
A Phase I Study of Anti-CD19 CAR T-cell Therapy With Axicabtagene Ciloleucel (Axi-cel) in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Primary and Secondary Central Nervous System (CNS) Lymphoma
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This research is being done to test the safety and effectiveness of axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), an anti-CD19 directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in treating relapsed/refractory central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma, systemic lymphoma with concurrent CNS lymphoma, or systemic lymphoma with a history of treated CNS lymphoma, and to better understand what causes neurological toxicity following treatment with axi-cel. The names of the study drug(s) involved in this study are: * axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) * ludarabine will be given with axicel to help axicel work more effectively * cyclophosphamide will be given with axicel to help axicel work more effectively
