Genetically Engineered Cells (ATLCAR.CD30 T Cells) for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory CD30 Positive Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial studies how well genetically engineered cells (ATLCAR.CD30 T cells) work in treating patients with CD30 positive peripheral T cell lymphoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). T cells are special types of blood cells. They can find and destroy other cells that may cause disease or cancer. However, sometimes cancer cells can hide from T cells and grow into tumors. Genes make up the chemical structure carrying information that may determine human characteristics (i.e., eye color, height and sex). In this study, a gene that makes an antibody called anti-CD30 is put inside T cells, which may make T cells better at recognizing and destroying CD30 positive peripheral T cell lymphoma cancer cells.
