What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a new treatment combination for patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), including subtypes such as anaplastic large cell lymphoma and mycosis fungoides. This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of a genetically modified vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) carrying human interferon beta and sodium iodide symporter genes (VSV-hIFNβ-NIS) alongside cemiplimab. The trial aims to find the maximum tolerated dose of this combination and observe its effects on the immune system and tumor growth. Participants receive intravenous infusions of VSV-hIFNβ-NIS on day 1 and cemiplimab on day -3, each administered over 30 minutes. This treatment is given as long as there is no disease progression or unacceptable side effects. Throughout the study, patients undergo imaging procedures including SPECT, CT, and PET scans. They may also have tumor and bone marrow biopsies and blood sample collections to monitor treatment effects and disease status. During the study, patients are closely followed for side effects and treatment responses. After completing the treatment, they are monitored for 28 days, then every three months for up to one year or until disease progression, followed by check-ups every six months for another year. The main outcome measured is the occurrence of serious adverse events, with secondary outcomes including clinical response, progression-free survival, and overall survival, assessed up to two years.
