Brief summary: Despite the use of monoclonal antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors, and bispecific T cell adapters (BiTE) Immunotherapies such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have completely changed the treatment methods of various cancers.

However, only limited responses were observed in T cell diseases, In CD30 positive PTCL and CTCL patients. The use of BV in and pembroluzimab (Programmed cell death receptor 1) in the treatment of ENKTL.

Although some promising results have been observed for (PD-1) inhibitors, these positive results are limited to specific subtypes of T cell diseases.

CAR T Cell therapy in recurrent/refractory B-cell malignant tumors is very successful, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two CAR T Cell therapy for the treatment of this type of disease. However, using this technology to treat T-cell malignancies has always been difficult, mainly due to the lack of tumor specific surface antigens in cancerous T cells.

Therefore, our center plans to conduct a phase I clinical study of CAR-T to explore the possibility of bringing more treatment options and benefits to PTCL patients.

Detailed description: Patients with recurrent/refractory PTCL were included using a single arm, open label, and single center approach.

Pre treatment plan:

Cyclophosphamide (CTX): 500mg/m2 × 3 days

Fludarabine: 30mg/m2 × 3 days

Note: Researchers can adjust the pre-treatment plan appropriately based on the patient's condition, such as CTX 300mg × Wait for 3 days.

CTX and Flu were infused on the 5th to 3rd day (D-5 to D-3) before administration. RD13-02 can only be injected after 48 hours of pre-treatment.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ≥ 18 years old and\<80 years old.
2. According to the clinical practice guidelines for T-cell lymphoma of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) (2022. v2), diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, including but not limited to: peripheral T Cell lymphoma, non-specific type (PTCL-NOS), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), T helper cell lymphoma (FTCL), peripheral lymph nodes with follicular helper T cell phenotype T-cell lymphoma (TFH) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), Etc;
3. Relapse or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma, which requires at least 2 systematic Sex therapy, is invalid or relapses.
4. Histologically confirmed as CD7 positive.

12. Subjects or their Legal guardian voluntarily participate in the trial and sign the informed consent form.
13. For patients undergoing reinfusion, in addition to meeting the relevant conditions for reinfusion in the Design of experiments, it is required that there is no DLT event or dose reduction after the first infusion.
14. The first 6 subjects included at any dose level should be able to collect sufficient amounts of autologous hematopoietic stem cells for cryopreservation in advance; Subsequent subjects will be determined by the researcher whether to collect autologous hematopoietic stem cells for cryopreservation.
