Study to Evaluate the Feasibility and Safety of Autologous Cytokine-Induced Killer Cells (CIK_D332) in Combination With Tafasitamab and Lenalidomide in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (FOCUS)

This is a multicentre, Phase I trial of Cytokine Induced Killer-cells (CIK\_D332) in combination with Tafasitamab and Lenalidomide in patients with Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) who have relapsed or are refractory after at least one prior line of therapy including an anti-CD20 drug and are not candidates for high-dose chemotherapy with hematopoietic stem cell auto transplantation or CAR-T therapy. The plasticity of CIK cells allows a simple and immediate modulation of the combined therapeutic strategy through the replacement of the antibody used, without having to resort to genetic modification of the effector cells. Furthermore, thanks to the simultaneous expression of CD3 and CD16 receptors, the choice of the antibody to be used in the combination can fall on both monoclonal antibodies (bound by CD16) and bispecific antibodies (capable of binding and stimulating CD3), significantly expanding the spectrum of therapeutic options and the possibilities of combining these effector cells in anticancer therapy. To demonstrate this potential, expanded CIK cells from healthy donors…

• Feasibility of CIK (CIK_D332) cell therapy added to tafasitamab/lenalidomide in patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL after at least one line of immuno-chemotherapy.
• Safety of CIK (CIK_D332) cell therapy added to tafasitamab/lenalidomide in patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL after at least one line of immuno-chemotherapy.
