UCD19 CAR T Cells for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
This phase I trial investigates the side effects of UCD19 CAR T cells work in treating patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). CAR T cells are immune cells used to fight infections and in some cases, can also kill cancer cells. During this study, some T cells are removed from the blood, and modified in the laboratory before being given back by intravenous injection. UCD19 CAR T cells is a new investigational gene that allows the T cells to then recognize and attempt to kill the lymphoma cells, and allow these modified cells to multiply and increase in numbers. Using UCD19 CAR T cells may work better in treating B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma compared to standard treatment.
