CERTAIN Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment that uses the patient's own immune cells. They will be injected with a virus that makes their cells attack cancer cells.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-75 with certain types of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma that have relapsed or are not responding to treatment can join. They should be relatively healthy, able to perform daily activities, and have a life expectancy over 12 weeks. People with severe kidney issues, low blood counts, significant liver problems, active bleeding disorders, poor lung function or those on strong immune-suppressing drugs cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a new therapy called CD30.CAR-T cells in patients whose lymphoma cells express the CD30 marker and who haven't responded well to other treatments. It's an early-phase study focusing on safety and what doses are safe without causing too many side effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the immune system attacking normal tissues (autoimmune reactions), symptoms at the infusion site like pain or swelling, general feelings of being unwell such as fatigue or fever, and changes in blood cell counts which could increase infection risk.
