Summary

This trial will enroll 160 adults with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Subjects will receive axicabtagene ciloleucel, an experimental product made from the subject's own genetically-modified white blood cells. The goal is to determine if the product is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
Adults with relapsed or refractory indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, specifically follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma that worsened after at least two prior treatments. Participants must have measurable disease, no CNS lymphoma involvement, and be able to stop current therapies before leukapheresis. They should be in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1) and not pregnant or breastfeeding.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing axicabtagene ciloleucel, a treatment made from the patient's own genetically modified white blood cells designed to fight cancer. It also involves pre-treatment with Cyclophosphamide and Fludarabine. The goal is to see if this approach is effective (aiming for a 70% response rate) and safe for patients.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune system reactions, fever, fatigue, neurological events like confusion or seizures, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, and possible allergic reactions due to the body's response to genetically modified cells.
