T-Lymphocytes in Treating Patients with Active or Relapsed Hodgkin Lymphoma or Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of laboratory-treated T lymphocytes in treating patients with Hodgkin lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is active or has returned after a period of improvement. Giving an infusion of a person's T lymphocytes that have been treated in the laboratory may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.
Inclusion Criteria
- PROCUREMENT: Diagnosis of Hodgkin’s or non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma: * GROUP A: ** With active disease *** In second or subsequent relapse *** In first relapse for indolent lymphoma after first line therapy for relapse *** Or first relapse if immunosuppressive chemotherapy contraindicated *** Primary refractory disease or if persistent disease after first line therapy of relapse ** Or multiply relapsed patients in remission who are at a high risk of relapse or the lymphoma is a second malignancy e.g. a Richter's transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) after failing frontline therapy OR * GROUP B: ** After autologous or syngeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) (as adjuvant therapy)

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the safety of 2 intravenous injections of autologous tumor-associated antigen (TAA)-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) in patients with Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
II. To determine whether infusion of TAA-specific T cells targeting multiple tumor antigens has a safety profile similar to the adoptive transfer of single antigen-targeted T cells.
III. To obtain information on the expansion, persistence, and anti-tumor effects of the adoptively transferred TAA-specific CTL in patients with Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
IV. To determine whether CTL infusions increase the spectrum of epitopes/antigens targeted by endogenous T cells (epitope spreading).
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
ANTIGEN-ESCALATION STAGE: Patients receive autologous TAA-specific CTLs intravenously (IV) over 1-10 minutes on days 0 and 28 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
DOSE-ESCALATION STAGE: Patients receive autologous TAA-specific CTLs IV over 1-10 minutes on days 0 and 14. Patients with active disease that have stable disease or a partial response at 8 weeks may receive an additional infusion every 6-8 weeks for a total of up to 6 additional doses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of treatment, patients are followed up every 2 weeks for 8 weeks and then at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.
