Study Summary

This trial is testing whether it's safe to give patients their own immune cells after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who've relapsed or are not responding to treatment. They should have a life expectancy of more than 3 months, good kidney and liver function, no severe heart or lung issues, and no other cancers that could interfere with the study. Those previously treated with bone marrow or stem cell transplants, or those with uncontrolled infections including HIV and hepatitis B/C can't participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests high-dose chemotherapy followed by returning patients' own stem cells (ASCT) and then infusing their T-cells modified to target CD19+ B-cells (CAR-T therapy). It aims to see if this combination is safe for treating refractory/relapsed aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to immune cell infusion such as fever, fatigue, blood pressure changes; complications from high-dose chemotherapy like nausea, hair loss; risks associated with stem cell transplant including infection risk due to low blood counts.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: HIGH DOSE CHEMOTHERAPY AND ASCTExperimental Treatment7 Interventions
This is a phase 1 dose escalation study designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CAR modified T cells in patients with relapsed and refractory aggressive B-NHL. Three dose levels (5 x 106 19-28z T cells/kg, 1 x 107 19-28z T cells/kg, and 2 x 107 19-28z T cells/kg) are considered for the MTD.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

In what ailments has Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation typically proven beneficial?

"Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation is a viable medical intervention for individuals with newly-diagnosed high grade glioma (HGG), carcinomas, and gestational trophoblastic diseases."

Answered by AI

What is the aggregate of participants taking part in this experiment?

"This clinical trial is not accepting new patients at this time. It was first published on April 1st 2013 and recently underwent a few edits, with the last update occurring on April 7th 2022. Those who are looking for alternative trials related to lymphoma may find luck in one of the 1797 studies currently recruiting participants or 591 Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation experiments actively searching for volunteers."

Answered by AI

Could you elucidate on the safety profile of Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation?

"This clinical trial has limited data on efficacy and safety, so our team at Power have rated the Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation's safety as a 1."

Answered by AI

Are there still vacancies for participants in this investigation?

"Information revealed on clinicaltrials.gov reveals that this specific medical study is no longer recruiting, having been first posted April 1st 2013 and last updated on the 7th of April 2022. Nonetheless, there are a multitude of other trials in need of participants at present; 2388 to be exact."
