Anti-CD19-ARTEMIS T Cells, Fludarabine Phosphate, and Cyclophosphamide in Treating Participants with CD19+ Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Trial Status: administratively complete

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of anti-CD19-ARTEMIS T cells when given together with fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide in treating participants with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that has come back or isn't responding to treatment. In engineered T-cell therapy, T cells (part of the immune system) are removed from the body and genetically modified in a laboratory before being transferred back into the participant. These modified cells (anti-CD19-ARTEMIS T cells) may be better able to recognize and kill cancer cells by targeting a protein on the cancer cell surface called CD19 (found on tumor cells and on normal antibody producing cells). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving Anti-CD19-ARTEMIS T cells together with fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide may work better in treating participants with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
