About this trial

Therapy with chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells has demonstrated activity against refractory lymphoma, however not all tumors respond or remain in response to CD19 targeted CAR-T cells. We posit that CAR-T cells expressing BAFF (BAFF CAR-T cells) can become another strategy to treat refractory lymphoma, even after relapse following cluster of differentiation antigen 19 (CD19) targeting CAR-T treatment.

This phase 1 study will evaluate safe dose and provide initial signal of the activity of BAFF CAR-T cells against relapsed non-Hodgkin lymphoma using a single lymphodepletion regimen and using a BAFF CAR-T cell manufacturing process.

No evidence of central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma.

Male or female > 18 years of age.

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance status ≤ 2.

Disqualifiers

History of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Active graft-versus-host disease.

Active central nervous system or meningeal involvement by lymphoma or leukemia.
