A Study to Investigate Ronde-cel Versus Investigator's Choice CD19 CAR T-Cell Therapy
Purpose
This Phase 3 study compares rondecabtagene autoleucel (ronde-cel), a dual-targeting CD19/CD20 CAR T-cell therapy, with investigator's choice of CD19 CAR T-cell therapy in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma in the second-line setting.

Detailed Description
PiNACLE-H2H is a Phase 3 randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy and safety of rondecabtagene autoleucel (ronde-cel, formerly known as LYL314) against the currently approved cluster of differentiation (CD)19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies (axicabtagene ciloleucel [axi-cel] or lisocabtagene maraleucel [liso-cel]), in patients with aggressive LBCL that has relapsed or is refractory to first-line anti-CD20 antibody and anthracycline-containing chemotherapy. Patients will be randomized (1:1) before leukapheresis to receive either: - Ronde-cel; or - Investigator's choice of axi-cel or liso-cel Most patients who receive currently approved CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapies, including axi-cel and liso-cel, still experience progressive disease, often due to mechanisms such as CD19 antigen loss or T-cell exhaustion. Ronde-cel is a novel, autologous, dual-targeting CD19/CD20 CAR T-cell product candidate enriched for CD62L-positive naïve and central memory T cells, which are associated with enhanced proliferation capacity and persistence. Ronde-cel is an "OR"-gated CAR construct that can fully activate upon recognition of either CD19 or CD20, aiming to improve durability of response despite antigen heterogeneity. Approximately 400 participants will be enrolled. CAR T-cell therapy in both arms will be administered as a single intravenous infusion following fludarabine and cyclophosphamide lymphodepletion. Participants will be followed for 3 years for safety and efficacy, with long-term follow-up extending to 15 years.
