Overview
This is a prospective, open label, single arm clinical trial to evaluate the safety and the preliminary efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor-dendritic cell (CAR-DC) in the treatment of advanced solid tumors positive for one of the following antigens: ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EphA2), claudin-18 isoform 2 (CLDN18.2) , trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (Trop2), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), guanylyl cyclase-C (GCC), glypican-3 (GPC3) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA).
Detailed description
Dendritic cell (DC) plays a vital role in T cell priming and anti-tumor immune activation. A novel kind of engineered DC, chimeric antigen receptor-dendritic cell (CAR-DC) can reverse the immune suppression in tumor-microenvironment (TME) to enhance anti-tumor therapy. This is a prospective, open label, single arm clinical trial to evaluate the safety and the preliminary efficacy of CAR-DC in the treatment of advanced solid tumors positive for one of the following antigens: ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EphA2), claudin-18 isoform 2 (CLDN18.2) , trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (Trop2), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), guanylyl cyclase-C (GCC) , glypican-3 (GPC3) AND carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). A total number of 10 patients will receive two rounds of intravenous infusions of 30 million CAR-DC at an interval of 14 days and receive follow-up visits after the second round of infusion up to 1 or 2 years.
Interventions
- Biological CAR-DC treatment
The patients will receive intravenous injection (iv) of 30 million CAR-DC for two rounds at an interval of 14 days.
Primary outcome measures
- To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of CAR-DC therapy [Time frame: 2 years]
- To evaluate the disease control rate (DCR) of CAR-DC therapy [Time frame: 2 years]
- The quality of life assessment of CAR-DC therapy [Time frame: 2 years]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- To evaluate the cytokine release syndrome (CRS) of CAR-DC therapy [Time frame: 2 years]
- To evaluate the neurotoxicity of CAR-DC therapy [Time frame: 2 years]
- To evaluate the survival time of CAR-DC in patient peripheral blood [Time frame: 2 years]
