CTX130 for T-Cell Lymphoma
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores a new treatment called CTX130 for individuals with certain types of blood cancer, specifically T-cell lymphoma or Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). The main goal is to determine if CTX130 is safe and effective. Administered by IV, CTX130 infuses directly into the bloodstream after chemotherapy. This study may suit someone with a confirmed diagnosis of these cancers who hasn't responded to other treatments. Participants must be able to perform daily activities without much difficulty and have good overall organ function. As a Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to receive CTX130, aiding researchers in understanding how this new treatment works in people.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on steroids or other immunosuppressive therapy for an autoimmune disease, you may not be eligible to participate.
Is there any evidence suggesting that CTX130 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that CTX130, a treatment for T-cell lymphoma that has returned or resisted other treatments, maintains a safety level patients can handle. In these studies, patients generally found the side effects manageable. Importantly, the treatment demonstrated promising results in combating the cancer. This suggests that CTX130 could be both beneficial and safe for patients who have already tried many other treatments.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
CTX130 is unique because it's a type of CAR-T cell therapy specifically designed for T-cell lymphoma, a condition where current treatments like chemotherapy or radiation often have limited success. Unlike traditional options, CTX130 involves engineering the patient's own T-cells to better recognize and attack cancer cells. This personalized approach not only promises a more targeted attack on the cancer but also holds the potential for longer-lasting remission. Researchers are excited because this could mean fewer side effects and better outcomes compared to existing treatments.
What evidence suggests that CTX130 might be an effective treatment for T-cell lymphoma?
Research has shown that CTX130, the treatment under study in this trial, holds promise for patients with T-cell lymphoma. In one study, 70% of patients who received higher doses of CTX130 responded well, with 30% experiencing complete cancer remission. Additionally, 90% of these patients benefited from disease stabilization. The treatment targets a protein called CD70 on cancer cells and employs CAR-T therapy, which modifies immune cells to enhance their ability to fight cancer. Overall, CTX130 has demonstrated potential in aiding patients who have already tried several treatments.13456

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults over 18 with T cell malignancies or Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, who are relatively healthy (ECOG 0-1). They must be able to use contraception and have good kidney, liver, heart, and lung function. People with prior organ transplants, other active cancers or infections like HIV/HBV/HCV, pregnant/breastfeeding women, those with immune/autoimmune disorders needing treatment, previous stem cell transplant recipients or anti-CD70 therapy patients can't join.Inclusion Criteria
