A Study of WZTL-002 CAR T-cells for Adults With Relapsed Large B-cell Lymphoma

Is NCT06486051 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Jun 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments including WZTL-002 CAR T-cells and Fludarabine for large b-cell lymphoma.

Treatment: Fludarabine · Cyclophosphamide · WZTL-002 CAR T-cellsThe goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy called WZTL-002 is effective and safe for the treatment large B-cell lymphomas (LBCL) that have not responded to or have come back after standard chemotherapy. The main questions this trial aims to answer are: * What is the likelihood of complete response of the lymphoma after WZTL-002 treatment? * What is the risk of altered brain function (neurotoxicity) after WZTL-002? All eligible participants will receive WZTL-002; the researchers will compare the complete response rate and neurotoxicity rate with historical groups of patients who were treated with similar therapies. Participants will: * Have a procedure to gather white blood cells * Receive chemotherapy to prepare for the CAR T-cells * Receive WZTL-002 CAR T-cells through a vein * Be monitored closely for the first 14 days for certain side effects * Have scans 28 days and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after WZTL-002 CAR T-cells to check if the treatment has worked
