Supercharged immune cells take on tough lymphomas
NCT ID NCT02690545
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study tests a new treatment for people with Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned or not responded to standard therapy. The treatment involves taking a patient's own T cells (a type of immune cell), adding a gene that helps them recognize and attack lymphoma cells carrying the CD30 protein, and infusing them back after chemotherapy. The goal is to find a safe dose and see how many patients remain cancer-free for two years.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
CD30-targeting CAR T-cells (ATLCAR.CD30 cells)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for patients with hard-to-treat lymphomas that have not responded to other therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with only 38 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The engineered T cells may not last long in the body, and there are risks of serious side effects including life-threatening reactions.
