Trial summary

This study is testing Allo-QuadCAR01-T, a new off-the-shelf CAR-T therapy for people with hard-to-treat B-cell cancers. Unlike current CAR-T treatments that use a patient's own cells, this therapy uses donor cells that are ready to use, which can save time and reduce costs. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Single-arm, Multicenter, Open-label, Phase I/II Trial of Allo-QuadCAR01-T, an Allogeneic CAR-T-cell Therapy Targeting CD19 and CD20, for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory B-cell Malignancies

This study is testing Allo-QuadCAR01-T, a new off-the-shelf CAR-T therapy for people with hard-to-treat B-cell cancers. Unlike current CAR-T treatments that use a patient's own cells, this therapy uses donor cells that are ready to use, which can save time and reduce costs. It targets two proteins, CD19 and CD20, to lower the chance of relapse and uses gene editing to make it safer. The trial has three parts: first to find a safe dose, then to confirm it, and finally to test how well it works in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Patients will get one infusion after chemotherapy to prepare their body. The main goal is to check safety and see how many patients have a complete response by Week 13. About 160 patients will take part, and researchers will follow them for up to 15 years.

Being tested
Cyclophosphamide (Non-IMP, Lymphodepletion), Fludarabine (Non-IMP, Lymphodepletion), Allo-QuadCAR01-T

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Allo-QuadCAR01-TExperimentalPhase Ia (Escalation): Participants with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by a single infusion of Allo-QuadCAR01-T. Phase Ib (Expansion): After dose escalation, additional participants with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by a single infusion of Allo-QuadCAR01-T at one or more tolerable dose levels from Phase Ia. Phase II: Participants with relapsed or refractory DLBCL will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy, followed by a single infusion of Allo-QuadCAR01-T at the recommended Phase II dose. The primary endpoint is complete response rate at Week 13, with secondary endpoints including duration of response, progression-free survival, and overall survival.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  6. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from Allo-QuadCAR01-T infusion to disease progression per the Lugano Classification, as determined by investigator review or death from any cause.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  7. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR is defined as the time from first objective response to disease progression or death from any cause among participants who have achieved CR or PR per the Lugano Classification, as determined by the investigator.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  8. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from Allo-QuadCAR01-T infusion to death from any cause.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  9. Time to Next Treatment (TTNT)

    TTNT is defined as time from Allo-QuadCAR01-T infusion to the start of subsequent new anti-lymphoma, anti-CLL therapy or local radiotherapy for lymphoma.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

Model description
The trial is structured in three parts: Phase Ia uses a dose-escalation approach to find a safe starting dose of Allo-QuadCAR01-T. Phase Ib expands testing at the selected dose in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and possibly other subtypes to confirm safety and early effectiveness. Phase II focuses on a larger group of DLBCL patients to measure how well the treatment works at the recommended dose. All participants receive a single infusion of the therapy after a short course of chemotherapy to prepare their immune system. Patients are closely monitored for 13 weeks, then every three months for two years, with an additional long-term follow-up lasting up to 15 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Cyclophosphamide (Non-IMP, Lymphodepletion), Fludarabine (Non-IMP, Lymphodepletion) and Allo-QuadCAR01-T in people with Lymphoma Diffuse Large B-cell and Leukemia and Lymphoma, run by AvenCell Therapeutics, Inc. at 13 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 28 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 28 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 13 sites in Germany, 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 combined 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.

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 Antje Warth, Dr. (0493514466450 ext. 0, avc-203-01@avencell.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of AEs defined as DLTs (time frame: At the end of cycle 1 (in total 28 days, given no treatment interruptions)). The study lists 4 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 28 Aug 2026.
