Summary
This trial is testing a new gene therapy for AIDS-related NHL, which uses chemotherapy to help the new cells work better.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with AIDS-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma who've finished frontline chemotherapy. They must have normal liver and kidney function, understand the study, and consent to it. Women of childbearing age need a negative pregnancy test and agree to birth control. Participants can't join if they have uncontrolled illnesses, other cancers, certain infections like active hepatitis or CMV retinitis, or are pregnant.
What is being tested?
The trial tests gene therapy using stem cells modified with anti-HIV RNA after busulfan chemotherapy in patients with AIDS-related NHL. The goal is to see if these modified cells can help the body fight AIDS more effectively.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to busulfan such as nausea, fatigue, mouth sores; gene therapy may cause immune responses or infusion-related reactions. Side effects from stem cell collection could also occur.
