Summary

This trial is testing whether it's more effective to give patients with lymphoma genetically modified T cells that have been combined with an antibody, after they've received chemotherapy to decrease the level of circulating T cells.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 16-75 with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin's or Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, whose tumors express CD30 and have T cells available for modification. Participants must understand the consent form, have a certain level of physical fitness (Karnofsky/Lansky score >60%), stable organ function, no significant heart arrhythmias, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and agree to use effective birth control.
What is being tested?
The study tests genetically modified T cells called CD30.CAR T cells in patients who've had chemotherapy. These special T cells are designed to recognize and kill lymphoma cancer cells by targeting the CD30 molecule on their surface. The trial examines if these CAR T Cells can effectively fight cancer after reducing other circulating T cells through 'lymphodepletion' chemotherapy.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the infusion of CAR T Cells such as fever, fatigue, headache; immune system responses that could affect normal organs; and complications from prior lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
