- Any cytogenetic abnormality in the bone marrow that is known to be associated with or predictive of myelodysplasia is excluded. This includes, but is not limited to, del(5), del(7), del(11).
- Lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to 90Y-basiliximab-DOTA.
- Persistent marrow involvement (>10%) with HL after salvage cytoreductive therapy and before stem cell mobilization.
- BM harvest required to reach adequate cell dose for transplant.

- Patients should not have any uncontrolled illness including ongoing or active infection.
- Patients with psychosocial circumstances or illnesses that preclude protocol participation (to be determined by P.I.)
- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because 90Y-basiliximab/DOTA is an agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother 90Y-basiliximab/DOTA, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with 90Y-basiliximab/DOTA.
- Any other condition that would, in the Investigator's judgment, contraindicate the patient's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns with clinical study procedures.
- Noncompliance
- Prospective participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with all study procedures (including compliance issues related to feasibility/logistics).
- Eligibility should be confirmed per institutional policies.

About this study
Official title: A Phase 2 Trial of Yttrium-90 Labeled Anti-CD25 Monoclonal Antibody Combined With BEAM Chemotherapy (aTac-BEAM) Conditioning for Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (AHCT) in Patients With Primary Refractory or Relapsed Hodgkin Lymphoma
This phase II trials studies the effects of yttrium-90 labeled anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody combined with BEAM chemotherapy conditioning in treating patients with Hodgkin lymphoma that does not response to treatment (refractory) or has come back (relapsed). Yttrium-90-labeled anti-CD25 is an antibody (proteins made by the immune system to fight infections) that is attached to a radioactive substance and may kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
- Evaluate the anti-lymphoma activity of the aTac-carmustine (BCNU), etoposide, cytarabine (cytosine arabinoside), and melphalan (BEAM) regimen as conditioning for autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT); assessed by 2-year progression-free survival (PFS).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- Estimate the overall survival (OS) probability and cumulative incidence of relapse/progression, and non-relapse mortality (NRM) at 100-days, 1-year and 2-years.
II. Summarize toxicities by type, frequency, severity, attribution, time course and duration.
III. Evaluate short and long-term complications, including: delayed engraftment (neutrophil and platelet), infection, and myelodysplasia (MDS).
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
- Evaluate potential changes in Hodgkin lymphoma biological markers of patients treated with 90Y basiliximab BEAM via analyses of serial blood samples.
II. Assess the potential association between pre-AHCT CD25 expression levels and post-AHCT outcomes.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive 'cold' basiliximab intravenously (IV) followed by yttrium Y 90 basiliximab IV on day -14. Patients also receive carmustine IV on over 4 hours day -6, etoposide IV over 1 hours once daily (QD) and cytarabine IV over 2 hours twice daily (BID) or QD on days -5 to -2, and melphalan IV over 1 hours on day -1. Patients then receive hematopoietic progenitor cell apheresis (HPC-A) product via infusion on day 0. Beginning day 5, patients receive granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) (or biosimilar) subcutaneously (SC) or IV until absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 500 for 3 consecutive days or according to the treating physician's best clinical judgement.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, up to 2 years for response, and up to 5 years for survival.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Basiliximab, Carmustine and Cytarabine in people with Recurrent Hodgkin Lymphoma and Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by City of Hope Medical Center at 1 site in United States.
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 0 inclusion and 20 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Dec 2025. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Progression free survival (time frame: From the start of treatment up to 5 years post transplant). 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 4 Dec 2025.
