CD30 CAR for Relapsed/Refractory CD30+ T Cell Lymphoma
What this study is about
This is a research study to determine the safety and how well patients handle the treatment of ATLCAR.CD30 for treating relapsed/refractory Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma. Blood samples will be collected from study participants and the immune T cells will be separated. T cells will be genetically modified in a laboratory at UNC-Chapel Hill to enable them to produce CD30 antibody.
View original scientific description
This is a research study to determine the safety and tolerability of ATLCAR.CD30 for treating relapsed/refractory Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma. Blood samples will be collected from study participants and the immune T cells will be separated. T cells will be genetically modified in a laboratory at UNC-Chapel Hill to enable them to produce CD30 antibody. The modified T cells, called ATLCAR.CD30, will be able to target and attach to lymphoma cancer cells that carry the CD30 antigen.
Interventions
BIOLOGICAL
ATLCAR.CD30 T cells
Autologous T Lymphocyte Chimeric Antigen Receptor cells targeted against the CD30 antigen at dose of 2 × 10\^8 CAR-T/m\^2 with a maximum dose of 5 × 10\^8 CAR-T cells
DRUG
Bendamustine
70 mg/m\^2 administered IV for 3 days for lymphodepletion 2-14 days prior to first cell infusion
DRUG
Fludarabine
30 mg/m\^2 administered IV for 3 days for lymphodepletion 2-14 days prior to first and second cell infusion
DRUG
Cyclophosphamide
300 mg/m\^2 administered IV for 3 days for lymphodepletion 2-14 days prior to second cell infusion and 2-14 days prior to the first cell infusion for subjects who have previously had hypersensitivity to bendamustine
Primary outcome measures
Progression free survival (PFS) after administration of the ATLCAR.CD30 in subjects with relapsed/refractory CD30+ peripheral T cell lymphoma
Time frame: 8 weeks
PFS is defined from day of initial lymphodepletion administration of the first ATLCAR.CD30 product infusion to the date of disease progression per the Revised Lugano Criteria or death as a result of any cause. Subjects who do not meet criteria for progression by the analysis data cut-off date will be censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date.
Who can participate

Inclusion criteria
- for the Study 1. Written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information explained to, understood by and signed by the subject or legally authorized representative. 2. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent. 3. Karnofsky score of \>60% 4. Histological or cytological evidence/confirmation of CD30+ peripheral T-cell lymphoma per the 2017 World Health Organization Classification of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues. 5. CD30+ disease determined via archival tissue after the subject's most recent anti-CD30 therapy prior to ATLCAR.CD30 (result can be pending at the time of cell procurement but must be confirmed prior to treatment with the first infusion of ATLCAR.CD30 cells). NOTE: CD30+ disease requires documented CD30 expression by immunohistochemistry based on the institutional hematopathology standard. 6. Any subjects who has received at least two prior lines of therapy for their lymphoma. If transplant is given as a preplanned con

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
