EXPAND Trial Summary

This trial is testing if adding a new drug to an existing lymphoma treatment can improve safety and effectiveness.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with large B-cell lymphoma that has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. Participants must have had at least two prior chemotherapy treatments, be in good physical condition (ECOG status 0 or 1), and not have immune reactions against donor cells. They can't join if they've had a bone marrow transplant in the last six months or cancer affecting their central nervous system.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The EXPAND study is testing whether adding ALLO-647 to the usual drugs fludarabine and cyclophosphamide helps improve outcomes when given before CAR T cell therapy (ALLO-501A) in patients whose large B-cell lymphoma has relapsed or is resistant to treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include those related to CAR T cell therapy like fever, difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, confusion; and from chemotherapy such as nausea, hair loss, mouth sores, fatigue, increased risk of infection.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
To assess the clinical efficacy of ALLO-647 (in a lymphodepletion regimen before ALLO-501A) compared to FC alone as measured by PFS and assessed by IRC in subjects with R/R (Relapsed / Refractory) LBCL (Large B Cell Lymphoma)
Secondary outcome measures
To assess clinical efficacy of ALLO-647 with FC (in a lymphodepletion regimen before ALLO-501A) compared to FC alone as measured by Event-Free Survival (EFS) and assessed by IRC in subjects with R/R LBCL
To assess the clinical efficacy of ALLO-647 as measured by Overall Response Rate (ORR) and assessed by IRC between treatment arms
To characterize blood concentration of ALLO-501A when administered with lymphodepletion with and without ALLO-647 as measured by vector copy number

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How many participants are being monitored in this research project?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov provides evidence that this study is presently recruiting for 70 participants at a single location. The original post was published on March 31st 2023 and the listing has been modified as recently as April 11th 2023."

Answered by AI

Has the application of Lymphodepletion with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide been endorsed by the FDA?

"Taking into account the data collected so far, our team at Power has rated Lymphodepletion with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide a 2 for safety. This is due to this being a Phase 2 trial meaning there are studies that support its safety but none backing its efficacy."

Answered by AI

Are there any vacancies for patients to participate in this clinical trial?

"Per the data hosted on clinicaltrials.gov, this medical research is actively recruiting patients. The trial was originally posted on March 31st 2023 and has been subsequently updated as recently as April 11th of the same year."
