Phase 1 Study of Autologous CD30.CAR-T in Relapsed or Refractory CD30 Positive Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Phase 1 Study of CD30-Directed Genetically Modified Autologous T-Cells (CD30.CAR-T) in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory CD30 Positive Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

This is a phase 1 study to evaluate safety and dose-limiting toxicity of autologous CD30.CAR-T in subjects with relapsed or refractory CD30+ Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Adult patients with relapsed or refractory CD30-positive Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma who have failed standard available therapies and who meet eligibility criteria will have blood drawn to manufacture the CD30.CAR-T cells.

CD30.CAR-T cells will be infused once following the completion of lymphodepleting chemotherapy with Bendamustine and Fludarabine.

Subjects will be closely monitored for DLT and safety.

Inclusion Criteria:

4. Relapsed or refractory CD30-positive NHL who have failed all available standards of therapy. Patients may or may not have received an autologous or allogeneic HSCT CD30-positive tumor
5. At least 1 measurable lesion according to the Lugano Classification
6. ECOG PS of 0 to 1 or equivalent Karnofsky PS Anticipated life expectancy >12 weeks
