Experimental CAR-T therapy for lymphoma trial ends early

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

If a participant has received a recent blood transfusion, the laboratory tests must be obtained ≥ 28 days after any blood transfusion. Additional Inclusion Criteria prior to Lymphodepletion Chemotherapy: * Participant has adequate hepatic function defined by aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN); total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN (participants with Gilbert's syndrome may be included if their total bilirubin is ≤ 3.0 × ULN and direct bilirubin is ≤ 1.5 × ULN) * Participant has adequate renal function defined by: * Creatinine \< 1.5 × ULN, or * An estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl) of ≥ 60 milliliter per minute (ml/min) as calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation * Participant has adequate bone marrow function defined by absolute neutrophil count ≥ 500/microliter (µl) and platelet count ≥ 50 000/µl (unless inadequate bone marrow function is thought to be related to bone marrow involvement with the lymphoproliferative neoplasm). Exclusion Criteria: * Participant has been diagnosed with the following conditions: * B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (B-ALL/LBL) * chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) * Burkitt lymphoma * Richter's transformation of CLL/SLL * Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)+ DLBCL, NOS * Mantle cell lymphoma * Known history or suspicion of central nervous system involvement by lymphoma. * Participant weighs \< 45 kilograms (kg) at screening. * Participant had prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). * Participant has received any investigational therapy within 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to screening. * Participant has a history of non-study related malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ (e.g., cervix, bladder, breast) unless disease free for at least 3 years. * Participant has a history of myocardial infarction, cardiac angioplasty or stenting, unstable angina or other clinically significant cardiac disease within 12 months of enrollment or has cardiac atrial or cardiac ventricular lymphoma involvement. * Participant has known abnormal lung function: forced expiratory volume (FEV) \< 60% prediction, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide \< 60% prediction, blood oxygen saturation \< 90% on room air. * Participant has intracranial hypertension or unconsciousness, respiratory failure or disseminated intravascular coagulation. * Participant has leukocytosis (white blood cell \[WBC\] count ≥ 25 000/µL) or rapidly progressive disease that would compromise ability to complete study therapy. * Participant has a history or presence of a central nervous system (CNS) disorder such as cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage, dementia, cerebellar disease, seizure disorder or autoimmune disease with CNS involvement that may impair the ability to evaluate neurotoxicity. * Participant has any of the following per screening serology test: * Hepatitis A virus (HAV) antibodies immunoglobulin M (IgM) * Positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or detectable hepatitis B Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Participants with negative HBsAg, positive hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) and negative anti-HBs are eligible if hepatitis B DNA is undetectable * hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies unless HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) is undetectable * Participant has human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) per screening serology test. * Participant has a positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test at Screening. * Participant has a primary immunodeficiency or history of systemic autoimmune disease (e.g., Crohn's, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus) resulting in end organ injury or requiring systemic immunosuppression/disease-modifying agents within the last 2 years. * Participant has presence of fungal, bacterial (e.g., tuberculosis), viral or other infection that is uncontrolled or requiring IV antimicrobials for management.

Additional Exclusion Criteria required for Lymphodepletion Chemotherapy: * Participant received bridging therapy within 10 days prior to start of lymphodepletion chemotherapy (LDC). * Participant has an active systemic infection present or onset of fever ≥ 38°C/100.4°F, not related to underlying disease. Participants who meet either of these on the day of scheduled ASP2802 (MACT) infusion should have ASP2802 (MACT) administration delayed. * Participant has a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test. * Participant has an intercurrent illness or toxicity that would place the participant at undue risk of proceeding to LDC and ASP2802 (MACT) infusion. * Participant is receiving therapeutic doses of corticosteroids (defined as ≥ 20 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) within 24 hours prior to LDC. Physiologic replacement, topical, intranasal and inhaled steroids are permitted. * Participant has signs of pre-existing CNS disease or toxicity. * Participant has had major surgery within 28 days prior to the start of study treatment. * Participants should not experience a significant worsening in clinical status compared to initial eligibility criteria that would increase the risk of adverse events associated with LDC or ASP2802 (MACT) infusion.
