About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Metabolically Armed CD19 CAR-T Cells (Meta10- 19) in the Treatment of r/r DLBCL Clinical Research

A Study of Metabolically Armed CD19 CAR-T Cells Therapy for Patients With Relapsed and/or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Read the detailed description

This is a single arm, open-label study. This study is indicated for relapsed or refractory CD19+ Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. The selections of dose levels and the number of subjects are based on clinical trials of similar foreign products.

  1. Main research objectives: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of metabolically armed CD19 CAR-T Cells in the treatment of r/r DLBCL.
  2. Secondary research objectives:
  3. To evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamics(PD) characteristics of metabolically armed CD19 CAR-T Cells after infusion.
  4. To evaluate tumor remission after infusion of metabolically armed CD19 CAR-T Cells.

    Also called Meta10-19

    Each subject receive metabolically armed CD19 CAR-T cells by intravenous infusion

Study groups in NCT06120166
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Administration of Metabolically Armed CD19 CAR-T cellsExperimentalPatients undergo leukapheresis. Patients will receive a lymphodepletion chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine before CAR-T cells infusion. A dose of metabolically armed CD19 CAR-T cells will be infused on day 0.
Receives: Drug: Metabolically Armed CD19 CAR-T cells

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. MTD

    Determine the Maximal Tolerable Dose(MTD)

    Measured: MTD will be determined based on DLTs observed during the first 28 days of study treatment.

  2. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Measure Tumor response rate (including CR and PR)

    Measured: Within 3 months following infusion of Meta10-19

Secondary outcomes (2)

  1. Concentration of CAR-T cells

    Concentration of CAR-T cells measured by Flow cytometry after CAR-T infusion

    Measured: Up to 12 months after CAR-T treatment

  2. Pharmacodynamics of CAR-T cells

    Concentration levels of CAR-T related serum cytokines such as CRP, IL-6, INF-γ at each time point

    Measured: Up to 28 days after infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Metabolically Armed CD19 CAR-T cells in people with Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma, run by He Huang at 1 site in China.

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 30 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 Mingming Zhang (86-13656674208, mingmingzhang@zju.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MTD (time frame: MTD will be determined based on DLTs observed during the first 28 days of study treatment.). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06120166, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Sep 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
