ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating a new treatment called RC19D2 cell injection for patients with recurrent or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a type of blood cancer. The goal of this Phase I trial is to assess how safe and tolerable this treatment is for patients whose cancer has returned or has not responded to standard therapies. To participate, patients must be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with DLBCL that tests positive for a specific marker called CD19. They should also have previously received treatment but are currently facing limited options.

If eligible, participants can expect to receive the RC19D2 cell injection and will be closely monitored throughout the trial for any side effects. The study is open to all genders and is currently recruiting participants. It’s important to note that there are specific health requirements and restrictions for joining, including the need for good overall health and the absence of certain medical conditions or treatments. This trial represents a potential new option for patients with limited treatment choices, and participants will be contributing to valuable research that may help others in the future.
