CD30 Receptor-Activated T-cells in Treating Patients with Relapsed or Refractory CD30+ Hodgkin Lymphoma or Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Trial Status: active

This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects of and how well CD30 receptor-activated T-cells work in treating patients with CD30+ Hodgkin lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back after a period of treatment (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). T-cells are special infection fighting blood cells that can kill cancer cells. The T-cells given in this study will come from the patient and will have a new gene put in them that makes an antibody called anti-CD30. This antibody sticks to lymphoma cells because of a substance on the outside of cells called CD30. Attaching anti-CD30 antibody to T-cells may help the T-cells to find cancer cells that have developed a way to hide from the immune system. Giving T-cells with anti-CD30 antibody attached may help restore immune system function and prevent relapse in patients with CD30+ Hodgkin lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
