Study of radiation therapy for lymphoma patients getting CAR T or bispecific antibody treatment
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study combines a special schedule of radiation therapy with new cancer treatments (CAR T cells or bispecific antibodies) for adults whose lymphoma has come back or not responded. The radiation is given in small doses twice a day to help the treatment work better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be 18 years or older
- Diagnosed with a type of lymphoma called DLBCL that has returned or not improved
- Plan to receive CAR T or bispecific antibody therapy at Yale New Haven Hospital
- Able to have radiation therapy, either once or twice a day on weekdays
- Not pregnant and willing to use birth control if you could become pregnant

This study tests an “ultra-fraction” radiation treatment given before CAR-T therapy to help control aggressive lymphoma that has come back or did not respond. It may help some people bridge (bridge = hold the disease stable) while they wait for CAR-T to work.
This trial tests a new two-step treatment: first a small dose of radiation (131I-Apamistamab) followed by specially designed immune cells (CAR-T cells) to fight your lymphoma. It is for people with DLBCL that has relapsed or not responded to standard therapy.
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding or switching drug treatments after CAR T-cell therapy can improve outcomes for people with certain aggressive lymphomas that have come back or did not respond. It mainly looks at who remains disease-stable/partly improved after CAR T and what treatment approach works best next.
This trial tests if giving radiation to all visible tumor sites before standard CAR T-cell therapy can improve outcomes for people with high-risk large B-cell lymphoma. You may be eligible if you have at least one large tumor (5 cm or bigger) that can be targeted with radiation.
This early-phase study tests whether giving targeted radiation first can improve outcomes when you later receive CAR T-cell therapy for large B-cell lymphoma that has come back or is not responding to treatment. It may help shrink or control lymphoma spots before CAR T is infused.
This trial tests a two-drug combination (loncastuximab tesirine and rituximab) as a short-term "bridge" treatment for people with large B-cell lymphoma who are waiting to receive standard CAR-T cell therapy. The goal is to control the lymphoma before the CAR-T cells can be given.
