Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to obtain blood (up to 90 ml or 18-teaspoonfuls on one or two occasions) to make LMP1- and LMP2-cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and grow them in the laboratory in such a way that they are able to attack LMP1- and LMP2-positive cells in the laboratory.
If we are successful in growing these cells and if we feel they would be helpful to the donor, we would then give the cells back to the donor.
This trial is for patients that have a type of lymph gland cancer called Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or chronic active Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection, which has come back or not gone away after treatment, including the best treatment we know.
This is a research study using special immune system cells called LMP1- and LMP2-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (LMP1- and LMP2-CTLs), a new experimental therapy. As in chronic active EBV infection, some patients with Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma show evidence of infection with the virus that causes infectious mononucleosis (EBV) before or at the time of their diagnosis of the Lymphoma. EBV is found in the cancer cells of up to half the patients with lymphoma, suggesting that it may play a role in causing lymphoma. The cancer cells infected by EBV are able to hide from the body's immune system and escape destruction. We want to see if special white blood cells, called T cells, that have been trained to kill EBV infected cells can survive in the patient's blood and affect EBV-positive cells. In this present study we are trying to find out if we can improve this treatment by growing T cells that only recognize two of the proteins expressed on lymphoma cells called LMP1 and LMP2. These special T cells are called LMP1- and LMP2-specific cytotoxic CTLs.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
Diagnosis of EBV-positive Hodgkin's disease (HD), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL; all histological subtypes except Burkitt's lymphoma), or EBV (associated)-T/NK-LPD, or chronic active EBV infection (CAEBV) after second or subsequent relapse including after autologous or syngeneic stem cell transplant (or first relapse or with active disease if immunosuppressive chemotherapy contraindicated). CAEBV is defined as i) illness for greater than 3 months duration (EBV-related illness or symptoms including fever, persistent hepatitis, extensive lymphadenopathy, or hepatosplenomegaly); ii) increased amounts of EBV-DNA in peripheral blood (equal or greater than 400 genome copies per ug of DNA) or abnormal high levels of EBV antibodies (VCA IgG equal or greater than 1:5120 or EA IgG equal or greater than 1:640; and iii) no evidence of previous immunological abnormalities or other recent infection that might explain the observed condition.
Patients with life expectancy greater than 6 weeks.
Patients with a Karnofsky score (age ≥16) of greater than 50 or Lansky score (age\<16) of greater than 50
No severe intercurrent infection.
HIV negative donor (if autologous donor, patient must be HIV negative)
Patient, parent/guardian able to give informed consent.
Patients with bilirubin less than3 x normal, AST less than 5 x normal, and Hgb greater than 8.0
Patients with a creatinine less than 2 x normal for age
Patients should have been off other investigational therapy i…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
