About this trial

Single-arm, open-label, multicenter, phase II trial aiming to include approximately 45 patients over 24 months. Patients will receive axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion and will be followed up to 5 years.

The total duration of the study is therefore of 7 years.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Signed written Informed Consent Form

Age > 18 years

Patient who understands and speaks one of the country official languages

Histologically proven relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) of the following histology at relapse: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL) and follicular lymphoma Grade 3B per WHO 2016 classification. Indolent B-NHL who transformed into aggressive B-NHL and were previously treated with R-CHOP-like after transformation are eligible. Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma are not eligible.

Disqualifiers

Patients who received more than one prior line of systemic therapy

Early relapsed disease defined as complete remission to first-line therapy followed by biopsy-proven disease relapse before 12 months from end of first-line therapy.

Progressive disease (PD) during first-line therapy

Stable disease (SD) as best response after at least 4 cycles of first-line therapy (e.g., 4 cycles of R-CHOP)

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Axicabtagene Ciloleucel

    Drug

    Treatment consists of a single dose for infusion containing a dispersion for infusion of CAR-positive viable T cells in one infusion bag. The target dose is 2 × 106 CAR-positive viable T cells per kg of body weight (within a range of 1 × 106 - 2 × 106 cells/kg), with a maximum of 2 × 108 CAR-positive viable T cells for patients 100 kg and above.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Response month 3

The Complete Metabolic Response, defined as negative findings on a PET/CT scan at month 3 after receiving axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion at day 0. The negativity of PET/CT findings will be assessed according to Lugano Classification and Deauville criteria

Time frame
Month 3

Secondary outcomes

1

Response month 3 central

The Complete Metabolic Response defined as negative findings on a PET/CT scan at month3 after receving axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion as assessed by central imaging review of PET/CT

Time frame
Month 3
2

Overall response rate

The Overall response rate (ORR) defined as the percentage of patients who achieved partial metabolic response (PMR) or complete metabolic response (CMR) according to the Lugano Classification criteria at month 3 determined by both central and investigator assessments.

Time frame
Month 3
3

Best objective response

Best objective response rate defined as the percentage of CMR + PMR determined by the investigator assessment among all patients between month 1 and month 12 from axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion

4

Best complete response rate

Best Complete Response rate defined as the percentage of CMR determined by the investigator assessment among all patients between month 1 and month 12 from axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion

Time frame
1 year
