Recruiting EARLY_PHASE1 NK/T-cell Lymphoma

Tests treatment safety and results for NK/T-cell Lymphoma

Official title Safety and Efficacy of Anti-EBV Autologous TCR-T Cell Injection in Relapsed/Refractory EBV-Positive Lymphoma

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07162012

What this study is testing

What is EBV TCR-T?

EBV TCR-T is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for nk/t-cell lymphoma.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This study will test whether anti-EBV autologous TCR-T cell injection is safe and effective for patients with relapsed or refractory EBV-positive lymphoma who have HLA-A11:01. Researchers will look at safety, tolerability, and the maximum tolerated dose or recommended dose for future studies.
