- "Patients will get one infusion after chemotherapy to prepare their body."
- "About 160 patients will take part, and researchers will follow them for up to 15 years."
- Compensation
- Not stated
- Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
- Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
- Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.

About this study
In plain language
This study tests Allo-QuadCAR01-T, a treatment made from donor immune cells that targets two proteins on B-cell cancers. It is for adults whose B-cell lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has come back or has not responded after at least two treatments. Researchers will check its safety, find a dose, and see how well it works.
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.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Age 18 or older.
- Have B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma or CLL that has come back or has not responded to treatment.
- Have received at least two courses of treatment for the cancer.
- Can do daily activities with little or no help.
- Have heart, liver, and kidneys that work well enough.
- Have HLA-B and HLA-C tissue markers that match the donor cells.
- Have no active infection that is not under control.
Who can't join
- Cancer in the brain or spinal cord during the early dose-testing groups. Later groups may allow this with study sponsor approval.
- CAR-T treatment within 3 months, severe blood cell problems after CAR-T, or past CAR-T treatment targeting both CD19 and CD20.
- A transplant using your own stem cells within 3 months; any past donor stem cell or organ transplant; or certain transplant-related illnesses.
- Certain active or recent infections, including hepatitis B or C, syphilis, or HIV. A history of HIV may be allowed with sponsor approval.
- Certain immune system diseases or antibodies, recent serious heart or nerve problems, bladder bleeding, or severe allergies to study drugs.
- Another cancer that could affect the study. Some treated, early-stage, or long-controlled cancers are allowed.
- Recent cancer treatment, radiation, immune-suppressing drugs, live vaccines, or major surgery. Lasting side effects from earlier treatment may also rule you out.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding.
