Summary

This trial tests a new drug called KITE-197 for patients whose large B-cell lymphoma has returned or didn't respond to previous treatments. The study will first check if the drug is safe and find the best dose. Then, it will see if this dose can help eliminate the cancer completely. Another treatment for this type of lymphoma is available for those who have not responded to multiple previous treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with relapsed or refractory Large B-cell Lymphoma who have at least one measurable lesion and proper organ and bone marrow function. It's not suitable for those who don't meet these health requirements.
What is being tested?
The study tests KITE-197, alongside Cyclophosphamide and Fludarabine, in two phases: Phase 1a focuses on safety, tolerability, and dosing; Phase 1b assesses the effectiveness of KITE-197 at the recommended dose by looking at remission rates.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions to the infusion of KITE-197, as well as impacts from Cyclophosphamide and Fludarabine such as nausea, hair loss, mouth sores, decreased blood counts leading to increased infection risk.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: KITE-197Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Phase 1a (Dose Escalation): Participants with r/r large B-cell lymphoma will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine followed by a single target starting dose of KITE-197 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) transduced autologous T cells. Based on dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) observed in the first cohort, additional participants will be enrolled and administered escalating dose of KITE-197. Phase 1b (Dose Expansion): After completion of dose escalation, additional participants with r/r B-cell lymphoma across different disease indications will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine followed by a single dose of KITE-197 CAR-transduced autologous T cells at 1 or more dose-level deemed to be tolerable.

Other Research
Common treatments for Large B-Cell Lymphoma (LBCL) include chemotherapy, monoclonal antibodies, and CAR-T cell therapy. Chemotherapy works by killing rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, target specific proteins on the surface of B-cells, marking them for destruction by the immune system. CAR-T cell therapy, like the investigational KITE-197, involves modifying a patient's T cells to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that specifically targets and kills B-cells. These treatments are crucial for LBCL patients as they offer targeted approaches to eliminate cancer cells, potentially leading to better outcomes and fewer side effects compared to traditional therapies.
