CD30 CAR-expressing Autologous T Lymphocytes in Preventing Relapse after High Dose Chemotherapy and Stem Cell Transplant in Patients with CD30+ Lymphoma
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of CD30 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-expressing autologous T lymphocytes when given after high dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant to patients with cluster of differentiation (CD)30+ lymphoma. T-cells are special infection fighting blood cells that can kill tumor 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+ lymphoma that has come back.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the safety and tolerability and to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CD30 CAR-expressing autologous T lymphocytes (ATLCAR.CD30) post autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in subjects with CD30+ lymphoma at high risk for relapse.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To measure the survival of ATLCAR.CD30 in vivo.
II. To estimate progression free survival (PFS) after infusion of ATLCAR.CD30 post ASCT in subjects with CD30+ lymphoma at high risk for relapse.
III. To determine the overall survival after infusion of ATLCAR.CD30 post ASCT in subjects with CD30+ lymphoma at high risk for relapse.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To measure patient-reported symptom, physical function, and health-related quality of life at baseline and over time in patients treated with ATLCAR.CD30 cells.
II. To determine whether there are correlations between CAR T cell behavior and the integration locations of CAR.CD30.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive ATLCAR.CD30 intravenously (IV) over 1-10 minutes between 14 and 20 days following standard of care high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for up to 5 years, then yearly for 10 years.
