Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients ≥ 18 years of age with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes including, relapsed or refractory diffused large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and transformed follicular lymphoma meeting at least one of the following criteria:
- •Bone marrow involvement at the time of relapse or refractory disease and not appropriate for allogeneic transplantation.
- •PET positive disease outside of one radiation port unless single-port disease treated with prior radiotherapy within the port, following \> or = to 2 cycles of salvage chemotherapy, still achieving chemosensitive status 1999 IWG criteria (section 12.2 and 12.383).
- •Creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/100 ml (or measured 24 hour creatinine clearance of ≥ 50 cc/min)
- •Bilirubin \<2.0 mg/100 ml, AST and ALT \<3x the upper-limit of normal, PT and PTT \< 2x normal outside the setting of stable chronic anticoagulation therapy,
- •Adequate cardiac function (LVEF\>40%) as assessed by ECHO or MUGA scan performed within 1 month of treatment.
- •Adequate pulmonary function as assessed by DLCO of \> or = to 45% adjusted for hemoglobin.
- •Life expectancy of \> 3 months.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Karnofsky performance status ≤ 70 (see appendix VI).
- •Patients with other aggressive B-cell malignancies including, but not limited to: Burkitt lymphoma, transformed CLL/SLL and transformed marginal zone lymphoma that are not included in 6.1 inclusion criteria.
- •Patients previously treated with autologous or allogeneic bone marrow or stem cell transplantation are ineligible.
- •Other past or current malignancy unless in the opinion of the investigator it does not contraindicate participation in the study.
- •Uncontrolled bacterial, viral or fungal infection.
- •Patients with HIV, active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection.
Arms & Interventions
HIGH DOSE CHEMOTHERAPY AND ASCT
This is a phase 1 dose escalation study designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CAR modified T cells in patients with relapsed and refractory aggressive B-NHL. Three dose levels (5 x 106 19-28z T cells/kg, 1 x 107 19-28z T cells/kg, and 2 x 107 19-28z T cells/kg) are considered for the MTD.
Intervention: Carmustine
