Overview

This trial is an open-label, single-arm clinical study. The main purpose is to verify the safety and efficacy of CAR-T cell preparations in the treatment of CEA-positive advanced malignant tumors, and to obtain the recommended dose and infusion scheme of CAR-T cell preparations for the treatment of patients with CEA-positive advanced malignant tumors.

Description

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a classic tumor marker, which is positively expressed in a variety of digestive tract tumors. In normal tissue cells, only a small amount of CEA is expressed in the cell membrane of digestive tract cells. In the early clinical trials of CAR-T targeting CEA carried out by the technical partner, it was found that CAR-T cell preparations have a certain killing effect on CEA-positive tumor cells. At the same time, no serious CAR-T-related adverse events were found through dose-escalating infusion. In this study, through the optimization of the CAR structure and the improvement of the culture method, the killing ability and survival ability of the CAR-T cell preparation on tumor cells in vitro and in vivo were improved to further verify the safety and efficacy.

  4. Immunohistochemical staining of tumor samples within 3 months confirmed that the tumor was CEA positive (clear membrane staining, positive rate ≥ 10%); the patient's serum CEA should exceed 10ug/L.
  5. At least one assessable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 criteria;
  6. ECOG score 0-2 points;

    6. Oxygen saturation > 92% in non-oxygen state.
  9. Have apheresis or venous blood collection standards, and have no other

    contraindications for cell collection;

  10. Subjects agree to use reliable and effective contraceptive methods for contraception within 1 year after signing the informed consent form to receiving CAR-T cell infusion (excluding rhythm contraception);
  11. The patients themselves or their guardians agree to participate in this clinical trial and sign the ICF, indicating that they understand the purpose and procedures of this clinical trial and are willing to participate in the research.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Previous CAR-T therapy or other gene-modified cell therapy;
  2. CNS metastases or meningeal metastases with clinical symptoms at the time of screening, or there is other evidence that the patient's central nervous system metastases or meningeal metastases have not been controlled, and are judged by the investigator to be unsuitable for inclusion;
  3. Participated in other clinical studies within 1 month before screening;
  4. vaccinated with live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before screening;
  5. Received the following anti-tumor treatments before screening: Received chemotherapy, targeted therapy or other experimental drug treatments within 14 days or at least 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter);
  6. Active infection or uncontrollable infection requiring systemic treatment;
  7. Patients with intestinal obstruction, active gastrointestinal bleeding, or a history of gastrointestinal bleeding within 3 months;
  8. Except for alopecia or peripheral neuropathy, the toxicity of previous anti-tumor therapy has not improved to the baseline level or ≤ grade 1;
  9. Suffering from any of the following heart diseases:
    1. New York Heart Association (NYHA) stage III or IV congestive heart failure;
    2. Myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) within 6 months before enrollment;
    3. Clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia, or history of syncope of unknown origin (caused by vasovagal except those caused by neurosis or dehydration);
    4. History of severe non-ischemic cardiomyopathy;
  10. Patients with active autoimmune disease, or other patients requiring long-term

    immunosuppressive therapy;

  11. Suffering from other uncured malignant tumors in the past 3 years or at the same time, except cervical carcinoma in situ and basal cell carcinoma of the skin;
  12. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positive and peripheral blood hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA titer is greater than the normal range; hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive and peripheral blood hepatitis C Virus (HCV) RNA test is greater than the normal range; human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive; syphilis test positive;
  13. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding;
  14. Other investigators deem it unsuitable to participate in the study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
