Trial Summary

Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment 19(T2)28z1xx TRAC T cell for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma?

Research shows that CAR T-cell therapy, which is a type of treatment that uses modified immune cells to target cancer, has been effective in treating aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, especially in patients who do not respond to standard treatments. This therapy has been approved for use in relapsed or chemotherapy-resistant B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, demonstrating its potential to induce complete and lasting responses.12345

What makes the CAR T-cell treatment 19(T2)28z1xx TRAC T cell unique for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma?

CAR T-cell therapy is a novel treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that involves modifying a patient's own immune cells to better recognize and attack cancer cells. This approach is particularly promising for patients who do not respond to standard treatments, offering a new option for those with aggressive or resistant forms of the disease.13467

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of this research is to evaluate if study therapy, 19(T2)28z1xx TRAC-chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, may be an effective treatment for people with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma. Researchers will also evaluate if this study therapy is safe, and to look for the highest dose that causes few or mild side effects in participants.

Findings from Research

The study developed a CAR (CD4CAR) that enables CD8+ T cells to target and eliminate CD4+ T-cell lymphomas, showing effectiveness in both laboratory and patient-derived samples.
In mouse models of aggressive T-cell lymphoma, CD4CAR T cells not only suppressed tumor growth but also significantly extended survival, suggesting their potential as a new treatment option for patients with peripheral T-cell lymphomas.
Preclinical targeting of human T-cell malignancies using CD4-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cells.Pinz, K., Liu, H., Golightly, M., et al.[2018]
Approximately 20% of lymphoma patients develop resistance to conventional therapies, leading to a poor prognosis with a median survival of only 6.3 months, highlighting the need for effective new treatments.
T-cell immunotherapy, particularly CAR T-cell therapy targeting the CD19 antigen, has shown remarkable efficacy in inducing complete and durable responses in patients with chemotherapy-refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and has been approved by the FDA for this use.

Adoptive therapy using CAR T-cells, specifically targeting CD19, represents a promising new treatment option for patients with high-risk B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, such as DLBCL and FL, who do not respond to standard therapies.
The review highlights the efficacy and toxicity profiles of CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy, showing its potential as a viable alternative for patients with poor prognosis, supported by data from both early single-center studies and larger multicenter clinical trials.
