Study Summary

This trial tests if radiation therapy before CAR T cell therapy is safe & effective for people with relapsed B cell lymphoma, and if it's a practical option.

Who is the study for?
Adults with relapsed or refractory B cell lymphoma, eligible for CAR T-cell therapy, can join this trial. They must have a certain level of blood counts and be willing to use birth control. People who've had prior radiation in the same area, are pregnant or planning pregnancy, need other systemic therapies before CAR T-cells, or have another progressing cancer can't participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if giving radiation therapy before standard CAR T-cell therapy improves outcomes for B cell lymphoma patients. It's checking the safety and practicality of this approach compared to just the standard treatment.See study design

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Radiation Therapy Before CAR T Cell TherapyExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
For the purposes of this protocol, day 0 will be considered the date of planned CAR T infusion. BRT Part I (intervention is 9 fractions of 3 Gy to a total dose of 27 Gy). Post-BRT Phase I re- evaluation period: Following delivery of the first 9- fractions of BRT, patients will have a period for recovery, and undergo protocol-mandated reassessment (e.g., PET scan and biopsy). Patients will receive standard of care lymphodepleting chemotherapy. Substitutions to the lymphodepleting regimen will be permitted at the discretion of the treating investigator. Day -2: BRT Part II (intervention is one fraction 3 Gy to receive a total dose of 3 Gy). Day -1: No protocol scheduled treatment interventions. Day 0: Subject will receive standard of care infusion of a manufactured commercial CAR T-cell product, as an inpatient or outpatient, at the discretion of the treating investigator.
