Summary

This trial will enroll patients who have already tried other treatments and failed (group A) or who are at high risk of their lymphoma coming back after an autologous hematopoeitic stem cell transplant (group B).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people over 12 with certain types of lymphoma that have come back or didn't respond to treatment. They should not be pregnant, have HIV, or had a solid organ transplant. Participants need a minimum level of physical ability and blood cell counts, haven't used some therapies recently, and agree to use birth control.
What is being tested?
The study tests TAA-T cells combined with the PD-1 inhibitor Nivolumab in two groups: those with measurable disease after relapse (Group A) and as additional therapy post-stem cell transplant for high-risk patients (Group B). It aims to assess safety and potential benefits against lymphoma.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune system reactions like inflammation in various organs, infusion-related reactions, changes in thyroid function which may require hormone replacement therapy, digestive enzyme abnormalities, and general symptoms such as fatigue.
