Study Summary

This trial tests a new drug to treat B-cell lymphoma and leukemia, aiming to find safe doses and how to use it.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma or acute lymphoblastic leukemia that's come back or didn't respond to treatment, including a CD20 monoclonal antibody regimen. They must have measurable disease and be in relatively good health (ECOG ≤2). Not for those with severe allergies to study ingredients, ongoing infections, other cancers within the last 2 years (with some exceptions), CNS involvement by cancer, active autoimmune diseases, or on immunosuppressants.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing PIT565's safety and finding the highest dose patients can take without serious side effects in relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies. It's an early-phase study where everyone gets PIT565 to determine how well it works and what doses are safe.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of PIT565 aren't listed here as it’s a new drug under investigation, common ones may include reactions at the infusion site, fatigue, fever-like symptoms due to immune activation, potential organ inflammation similar to other immunotherapies.
