Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Have at least 2 measurable lesions on imaging, defined as lesions that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) and ≥1 cm on CT, MRI, or clinical exam. At least one lesion will be omitted from the radiation treatment field.
Medically appropriate for CAR-T cell therapy: adequate organ function CrCL >/= 45 mL/min/m2, hemoglobin level ≥ 8 g/dl, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≤ 5 x ULN if documented liver involvement, baseline oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) ≥92% on room air

Study Summary

This trial aims to determine if it is safe to give a drug called axicabtagene ciloleucel along with radiation therapy to patients with relapsed or refractory FL.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Follicular Lymphoma that's come back or hasn't responded after at least two treatments. They should be fairly active (able to care for themselves), have good organ function, and no severe liver issues. Participants need measurable cancer lesions, can have had past radiation if safe, and women able to have children must test negative for pregnancy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests axicabtagene ciloleucel (a CAR-T cell therapy) combined with radiotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory Follicular Lymphoma. It aims to assess the safety of this combination treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune system reactions, infusion-related symptoms like fever or chills, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, fatigue, and possible damage to organs from the radiation.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Axicabtagene CiloleuceExperimental Treatment6 Interventions
Participants will first have a procedure to collect your white blood cells that will be used to make axicabtagene ciloleucel. Then participatns will receive radiation therapy, followed by conditioning chemotherapy and 1 infusion of axicabtagene ciloleucel.
