A Study of CART-TnMUC1 in Patients With TnMUC1-Positive Advanced Cancers

Study Purpose

Multi-center, open-label, first in human Phase 1 study of the safety, tolerability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of the administration of genetically modified autologous T cells (CART-TnMUC1 cells) engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) capable of recognizing the tumor antigen, TnMUC1 and activating the T cell (CART- TnMUC1 cells).

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04025216
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

The Dose Escalation phase of the study is designed to identify the dose and regimen of CART-TnMUC1 cells that can be safely administered intravenously following the lymphodepletion (LD) regimen to patients with

  • (1) advanced TnMUC1+ solid tumors (triple negative breast cancer, epithelial ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer) and (2) advanced TnMUC1+ multiple myeloma in a parallel two-arm dose escalation study.
The Dose Escalation phase is anticipated to enroll approximately 40 patients. The Expansion phase of the study is designed to assess the preliminary efficacy of CART-TnMUC1 cells administered intravenously to patients with TnMUC1+ solid tumors. The Expansion phase is anticipated to enroll approximately 72 patients (18 patients per each tumor indication).
