It is a study to test a new type of treatment for blood cancer. In this new treatment the blood cells of patients are changed so that they cam kill cancer cell on their own.

A pilot study of indigenously manufactured HCAR19 (2nd generation Anti-CD19-41BB- CD3ζ chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy) in adult patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. - CAR-T Therapy in DLBCL
