BGT007 Cells for the Treatment of Refractory Digestive System Tumors

Official title

Clinical Study on the Safety and Initial Efficacy of BGT007 Cell Therapy in Patients With Recurrent/Metastatic Refractory Digestive Tract Tumors

Overview

This is an exploratory clinical study evaluating the safety and initial efficacy of BGT007 injection in the treatment of recurrent/metastatic/refractory digestive system tumors

Detailed description

The researchers designed a single arm, open, exploratory study to improve the "3+3" dose escalation. The maximum dose or the best effective dose shall be determined according to the subject and dose increasing test to verify the safe and effective number of cells per unit weight. The improved "3+3" dose increasing design was adopted, and BGT007 cells were set with 5 dose groups that were gradually increased for treatment evaluation. The dose groups were 5.0 × 10\^7cells，1.0 × 10\^8cells，3.0 × 10\^8cells，1.0 × 10\^9cells，3.0 × 10\^9cells. Cell reinfusion will be carried out on day 0 (d0), and each subject will be observed for at least 4 weeks after receiving cell reinfusion (DLT observation period).

Interventions

• Biological BGT007 Injection
  BGT007 injection (d0) were infused intravenously once, and the dose group was 5.0× 10\^7 cells,1.0 ×10\^8 cells, 3.0× 10\^8 cells,1.0 × 10\^9 cells,3.0 ×10\^9 cells.

Primary outcome measures

• Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT） [Time frame: From day 0 to day 28]

Secondary outcome measures (4)

• C max [Time frame: 12 months]
• T max [Time frame: 12 months]
• ORR [Time frame: 12 months]
• PFS [Time frame: 12 months]
