Autologous CAR19.20.22 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells (CAR19.20.22 CART) for the Treatment of Recurrent or Refractory B-Cell Lymphomas

Trial Status: enrolling by invitation

This phase Ia trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of autologous CAR19.20.22 chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR19.20.22 CART) in treating patients with B cell lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient’s blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein, such as CAR19.20.22, on the patient’s tumor cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving CAR19.20.22 CART cells may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with recurrent or refractory B cell lymphoma.
