Constitutive IL7 (C7R) Modified EBV Specific T-Lymphocytes for Treatment of EBV-Positive Lymphoma


Description

This study is for patients that have a type of lymph gland disease called Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or T/NK-lymphoproliferative disease which has come back or has not gone away after treatment, including the best treatment the investigators know for these diseases. Some patients with Lymphoma or T/NK-lymphoproliferative disease show signs of virus that is sometimes called Epstein Barr virus (EBV) that causes mononucleosis or glandular fever ("mono") before or at the time of their diagnosis. EBV is found in the cancer cells of up to half the patients with Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, suggesting that plays a role in causing Lymphoma. The cancer cells (in lymphoma) and some immune system cells infected by EBV are able to hide from the body's immune system and escape destruction. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including cells infected with viruses and tumor cells. T cells have been used to treat patie

Trial Eligibility

1. INCLUSION CRITERIA AT TIME OF PROCUREMENT 1. Any patient, regardless of age or sex, with EBV-positive Hodgkin's or non Hodgkin's Lymphoma, (regardless of the histological subtype) or EBV (associated)- T/NK-lymphoproliferative disease who may subsequently be eligible for the treatment component 2. EBV positive tumor (can be pending) 3. Weighs at least 10 kg 4. Informed consent explained to, understood by and signed by patient/guardian. Patient/guardian given a copy of informed consent. 2.
