Tabelecleucel for Solid Organ or Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Subjects with EBV-PTLD (ALLELE study)

EBV lymphoproliferative disorder is a condition that can develop after someone is infected with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the same virus that causes infectious mononucleosis(“mono”). In this disorder, the virus causes certain white blood cells, called lymphocytes, to grow and multiply uncontrollably. This can lead to swollen lymph nodes, an enlarged spleen, and sometimes even tumors. EBV lymphoproliferative disorder is more likely to occur in people with weakened immune systems, such as those who have had an organ or bone marrow transplant. The purpose of this study is to test how the study product, Tabelecleucel (tab-cel), works to treat EBV lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) following solid organ transplant or hematopoietic cell transplant in participants who have not responded or cannot receive standard treatments for PTLD. Tab-cel is an investgational drug made from special immune cells from healthy donors specifically designed to recognize and kill the EBV virus. These cells may help treat PTLD, but they are still being studied.

LN-145 Study Cells in Patients With Metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Volunteer for research at OHSU and contribute to discoveries that may improve health care for you, your family, and your community!

The purpose of the study is to learn more about an investigational product called LN-145 (the ‘study cells’) in participants with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The study cells are immune cells that have identified cancer cells as abnormal and have penetrated into the tumor to try to kill cancer cells. These cells are called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, or TILs. Participants in this study will have tumor tissue collected during a biopsy or surgery, and the TILs will be isolated and grown in a lab. The TILs will then be given back to the participant. We are hoping to find out if the study cells can be given to participants safely, and if it helps them.
