CD30 CAR-expressing Autologous T Lymphocytes in Preventing Relapse after High Dose Chemotherapy and Stem Cell Transplant in Patients with CD30+ Lymphoma

Trial Status: closed to accrual

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.
