Patients eligible for this study have a type of blood cancer called T-cell leukemia or lymphoma (lymph gland cancer).
The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. This study combines two different ways of fighting disease with antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from bacterial and other diseases. T cells, or T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells including tumor cells. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat cancer; they have shown promise, but have not been strong enough to cure most patients.
T cells can kill tumor cells but there normally are not enough of them to kill all the tumor cells. Some researchers have taken T cells from a person's blood, grown more of them in the laboratory and then given them back to the person.
The antibody used in this study is called anti-CD7. This antibody sticks to T-cell leukemia or lymphoma cells because of a substance on the outside of these cells called CD7. CD7 antibodies have been used to treat people with T-cell leukemia and lymphoma. For this study, anti-CD7 has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood it is now joined to the T cells. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way it is called a chimeric receptor.
In the laboratory, investigators have also found that T cells work better if they also add proteins that stimulate T cells, such as one called CD28. Adding the CD28 makes the cells grow better and last longer in the body, thus giving the cells a better chance of killing the leukemia or lymphoma cells.
In this study, investigators attach the CD7 chimeric receptor with CD28 added to it to T cells. Investigators will then test how long the cells last. These CD7 chimeric receptor T cells with CD28 are investigational products not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Experimental: CD7.CAR/28zeta CAR T Cells
Three dose levels will be evaluated. The T cells will be administered following lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine.
Genetic: CD7.CAR/28zeta CAR T cells
Three dose levels will be evaluated:
Patients will receive 3 daily doses of fludarabine (30 mg/m^2) to induce lymphopenia, finishing at least 24 hours before T cell infusion.
Other Name: Fludara
Patients will receive 3 daily doses of cyclophosphamide (500 mg/m^2/day) to induce lymphopenia, finishing at least 24 hours before T cell infusion.
Other Name: Cytoxan
- Number of patients with dose limiting toxicity [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]To evaluate the safety of escalating doses of autologous peripheral blood T lymphocytes (ATLs) genetically modified to express chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) targeting the CD7 molecule (CD7.CAR) in combination with lymphodepletion in patients with relapsed/refractory T-cell malignancies.
- Overall Response Rate [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]To measure the anti-tumor effects of CD7.CAR-ATLs in patients with T-cell leukemia or lymphoma.
