Study Summary

This trial is testing a new therapy for Hodgkin's Lymphoma to reduce mortality and alleviate morbidity. It will enrol 25 patients and follow them for 15 years to determine its effectiveness.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma, who have a Karnofsky score above 60%, indicating they can care for themselves. They must consent to the study and allow their health information to be used. Patients already receiving standard treatments like chemotherapy or radiation may still qualify.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells in patients with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It's an early-phase study determining safe dosage levels and how well these cells work as treatment. Participants will receive cell infusions after a preparatory 'lymphodepletion' process, followed by long-term monitoring.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, CAR-T therapies like ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 often cause flu-like symptoms, low blood cell counts, risk of infection, neurological issues, and an immune reaction called cytokine release syndrome.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: ATLCAR.CD30Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects will be enrolled on 1 of 3 dose levels as determined by a 3+3 design. Up to 25 evaluable subjects may then be enrolled in the phase II portion of the study. Subjects may have cells procured to manufacture the ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells if they meet eligibility for procurement. During the time period necessary to manufacture the ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells, Subjects will be allowed to receive standard-of-care bridging therapy at the discretion of their local oncologist. Prior to cell infusion, subjects will undergo additional eligibility evaluations, and then if eligible, will undergo lymphodepletion followed by cell infusion 2-14 days later. Subjects will then be followed for 15 years as is required for studies involving gene transfer experiments
