Study Summary

This trial will study whether emapalumab is safe and effective in treating severe low blood cell counts in people with a certain type of lymphoma who have undergone CART therapy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with LBCL who have severe, prolonged low blood cell counts after CAR T-cell therapy. Specific eligibility details are not provided, but typically participants must meet certain health standards and not have conditions that could interfere with the study or their safety.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing emapalumab to see if it's safe and can help treat people with long-lasting severe cytopenia (low white blood cells, anemia, low platelet count) following CAR T-cell therapy for LBCL.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of emapalumab aren't listed here, but they may include reactions at the injection site, immune system responses, or infections due to changes in blood cell counts.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: EmapalumabExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this research study, you will be assigned to 1 of 2 dose levels of emapalumab, based on when you enroll on the study. Up to 16 participants will receive each dose level of the study drug. The first group of 5 participants will be enrolled at the lower dose level. Depending on the safety data seen in this first group, the next 11 participants will be enrolled at the lower dose. After reviewing the early safety data from that first group of 16 participants, the study team will enroll the next 5 participants at the higher dose level and be checked for serious side effects. Depending on the safety information from the first 5 participants in the higher dose level group, the other 11 will then be enrolled.
