  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Written informed consent and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization for the release of personal health information explained to, understood by, and signed by the subject or legally authorized representative.
  • Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent.
  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of Nonseminomatous Germ Cell Tumors (NSGCT) of any primary site.

  • Evidence of progressive or recurrent NSGCT after prior high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) treatment, defined as meeting at least one of the following criteria: i. Tumor biopsy of new or growing or unresectable lesions demonstrating viable NSGCT. In the event of an incomplete gross resection where viable NSGCT is found, subjects will be considered eligible for the study. ii. Consecutive elevated serum tumor markers (β-HCG or AFP) are increasing. An increase of elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) alone does not constitute progressive disease. iii. Development of new or enlarging lesions in the setting of persistently elevated β-HCG or AFP, even if the β-HCG and AFP are not continuing to rise.

Who cannot join

  • Subject is pregnant or lactating (Note: Breast milk cannot be stored for future use while the mother is being treated in the study).
  • Active infection with HIV, human T-cell leukemia virus, hepatitis B virus, and hepatitis C virus (tests can be pending at the time of cell procurement; only those samples confirming lack of active infection will be used to generate transduced cells). Note: To meet eligibility subjects are required to be negative for HIV antibody, negative for HTLV1 and 2 antibodies or PCR negative for HTLV1 and 2, negative for Hepatitis B surface antigen, and negative for HCV antibody or HCV viral load.

About this study

Official title: Administration of T Lymphocytes Expressing the CD30 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) for Patients With CD30+ Nonseminomatous Germ Cell Tumors (NSGCT)

This is a phase 2 research study that enrolls adult subjects with Nonseminomatous Germ Cell Tumors (NSGCT). The purpose of this study is to create a repository and explore the presence of modified T cells in the subject's plasma or tumors.

This study collects biospecimens (such as tumor tissue, blood, and modified T cells) that can be used in future research studies. The collected specimens can help to examine whether the modified T cells are present in the body and tumor. If the modified T cells are present in the body, and how long they last. They also will use the specimen to identify ways to improve treatment options for a future cancer patient.

Research with blood, tissue, or body fluids (specimens) can help researchers understand how the human body works. Sometimes researchers collect and store specimens and use them for different kinds of research or share them with other scientists; this is called a specimen repository or "biobank." Research with biospecimens might help to introduce new tests to find diseases or new ways to treat diseases.

The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancer. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are proteins that protect the body from disease caused by bacteria or toxic substances. Antibodies work by binding those bacteria or substances, which stops them from growing and causing bad effects. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including tumor cells or cells that are infected. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers. They both have shown promise, but neither alone has been sufficient to cure most patients. This study is designed to combine both T cells and antibodies to create a more effective treatment called autologous T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells targeted against the CD30 antigen (ATLCAR.CD30) administration.

Prior trials have shown the safety of ATLCAR.CD30 product was administered to subjects with lymphomas. This study was planned based on the safety and efficacy data from previous studies (NCT02690545 and NCT02917083).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Overall response rate (ORR)- Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST)

    ORR - RECIST will be assessed per RECIST v1.1. criteria which define Complete Response (CR) as the disappearance of all target lesions, pathological lymph node (LN) <10mm, and normalization of serum tumor markers; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions serum tumor markers (AFP and β-hCG) should be stable or decreasing. ; and Overall Response Rate (ORR) = CR + PR/total number of subjects.

    Measured: 6 weeks

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Overall response rate (ORR)- Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) (time frame: 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jul 2026.
