Xenetic Biosciences' systemic DNase technology has entered clinical evaluation for the first time, with the first patient dosed in a study combining DNase I with anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy in large B-cell lymphoma at Israel's Ichilov Center. The investigator-initiated study, sponsored by the medical center and approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health, will enroll 12 patients with stable or progressive disease pre-lymphodepletion — a population with roughly 20-30% one-year progression-free survival.
