AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Men and women who are at least 18 years of age on the day of consenting to the study.
* Histologically documented primary or secondary central nervous system lymphoma of DLBCL subtype
* Relapsed/refractory primary or secondary CNSL patients. All relapsed//refractory patients need to have received at least one prior CNS-directed methotrexate-based therapy. There is no restriction on the number of recurrences.
* For relapsed patients, parenchymal lesions must have unequivocal evidence of disease progression on imaging (MRI of the brain or head CT) within 21 days of study consent.
* For refractory patients, there must be residual disease after their last line of therapy.
* For patients with leptomeningeal disease only, CSF cytology and/or flow cytometry must document CSF findings consistent with CSF involvement by lymphoma and/or imaging findings consistent with CSF disease within 21 days of study registration (at the discretion of the investigator).
* Creatinine Clearance ≥ 40 ml/min/m2, direct bilirubin ≤2.0 mg/100 ml, AST and ALT ≤3.0x upper limit of normal (ULN)
* Adequate pulmonary function as assessed by ≥90% oxygen saturation on room air by pulse oximetry.
* Must be able to tolerate both MRI and CT scans
* Must be able to tolerate lumbar puncture and/or Ommaya taps
* Must have been either off corticosteroids, or on a stable or decreasing dose of dexamethasone equivalent ≤ 2 mg daily for 7 days before apheresis and 72 hours prior to CAR T cell infusi…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
