Study Summary

This trial studies the use of CAR T cells to treat people with advanced Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma that has relapsed or not responded to treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with certain types of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma that have relapsed or are not responding to treatment. They must have had specific prior therapies, be in a stable condition without severe infections or heart problems, and not be pregnant. Participants should also agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests CD79b-19 CAR T cells in patients with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma who haven't responded well to other treatments. It includes standard chemotherapy drugs cyclophosphamide and fludarabine used in the lymphodepleting process before administering the CAR T cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune system reactions, fever, fatigue, difficulty breathing, changes in blood pressure or heart rate during infusion; there may also be risks related to chemotherapy such as nausea and low blood cell counts.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: CD79b-19 CAR T cellsExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Prior to receiving CD79b-19 CAR T cells, participants will undergo two preparatory processes: Leukapheresis: During Week -3 white blood cells will be collected. Lymphodepletion: On days, -5 to -3 participants will receive 3 days of chemotherapy to decrease the number of lymphocytes CD79b-19 CAR T cells will be administered intravenously on day 0 only. The dose you will receive will depend on the number of participants who have been enrolled prior and how well the dose was tolerated. The CD79b-19 CAR T cells will be administered over approximately 1 hour.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What potential risks could be associated with CD79b-19 CAR T cells?

"Due to the lack of prior data concerning CD79b-19 CAR T cells, Power's team assigned it a score of 1. This is standard practice for Phase 1 trials as they are focused on establishing safety and efficacy."
