Dual-targeting CLDN18.2 and PD-L1 CAR-T cells

Clinical Study ID

NCT06084286
MCART-007
  • Ages 18-75
  • All Genders

Study Summary

Claudin18.2(CLDN18.2) is a kind of integrin membrane protein in the tight junction between epithelium and endothelium, which is highly expressed in many solid tumors, especially in gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer. The CLDN18.2/PD-L1 dual-targeting CAR-T will be investigated in patients with CLDN18.2-positive advance solid tumors.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male or female, Age 18-75 years old;

  2. Patients with pathologically/histologically confirmed diagnosis of solid tumors (such as advanced gastric adenocarcinoma or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomaand pancreatic adenocarcinoma) have received at least once systemic standardtreatment and disease progressed; or refused/ cannot tolerate the subsequentialstandard treatment after the first line treatment;

  3. Must have CLDN18.2-positive tumor expression ≥10% as determined by the CLDN18.2 IHCassay;

  4. Estimated life expectancy > 3 months (according to investigator's judgement);

  5. At least 1 measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1;

  6. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1;

  7. Sufficient venous access for leukapheresis collection and no other contraindicationsto leukapheresis;

  8. Patients should have reasonable CBC counts, renal and hepatic functions;

  9. No other serious diseases (autoimmune diseases or any immune deficiency disease);

  10. Women of childbearing age must undergo a serum pregnancy test with negative resultsbefore screening and infusion and be willing to use effective and reliable method ofcontraception for at least 12-months after T-cell infusion;

  11. Men must be willing to use effective and reliable method of contraception and arenot allowed to donate sperm for at least 12-months after T-cell infusion;

  12. Voluntarily participate in the research, understand and sign the informed consent.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Pregnant or lactating women;

  2. Patient with hepatitis B or C active period, HIV infection ≥ the upper limit of thenormal level;

  3. Any uncontrolled active infection;

  4. Patients who have clinically significant thyroid dysfunction;

  5. Patients who have received prior cellular therapy such as CAR T, TCR,tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes;

  6. Patients who are allergic to immunotherapy or any associated drugs, such ascytokines and the preconditioning regimen (cyclophosphamide, fludarabine);

  7. Patients with untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastatic disease,leptomeningeal disease, or cord compression;

  8. Patients have clinical significant cardiac conditions that researchers believe thatparticipating in this clinical trial may endanger the health of the patients;

  9. Unstable pulmonary embolism, deep venous embolism or other major arterial/venousthromboembolic events occurred within 6 months before enrollment;

  10. Patients with active autoimmune diseases, history of autoimmune diseases or otherdiseases in need of immunosuppressive therapy;

  11. Patients with major surgery or injury less than 4 weeks prior to leukapheresis orplan to have major surgery during the research period;

  12. Patients with second malignancies in addition to targeted malignancies within 5years before screening;

  13. Patients with unstable/active ulcer or digestive tract bleeding;

  14. Patient suffering from diseases that affect the signing of written informed consentor compliance with research procedures; or are unwilling or unable to comply withresearch requirements;

  15. Patients who have a history or a tendency for digestive tract bleeding;

  16. Patients who are inappropriate to participate in this research as considered by PI.

Study Description

In this study, the CLDN18.2/PD-L1 dual-targeting CAR-T cells will be injected intravenously to patients with CLDN18.2-positive advanced solid tumors, such as gastric adenocarcinoma or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma and pancreatic adenocarcinoma, who had nearly no response to standard treatment. The safety and effectiveness will be evaluated. The safety evaluation standard refers to the standard of CTCAE 5.0. The evaluation standard of effectiveness refers to the evaluation standard of solid tumor curative effect RECIST 1.1 to evaluate the curative effect.

There are two phases of this study. The first is dose escalation phase, and 9 patients with CLDN18.2-positive advanced solid tumors are planned to be enrolled. The second is dose expansion phase. The curative effect has been observed in the first phase, and after the DLT observation period of the related dose group finished, the PI will decide whether to conduct the dose expansion research finally. It is planned to enroll 20 patients in dose expansion phase.
