Overview

A study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of α-PD-L1/4-1BB DLL3 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T (BHP01) in patients with Relapsed/Refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and determine the appropriate CAR-T cell dose. Next, In dose expansion phase, patients were assign two groups with/without bridge radiotherapy.

Description

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for about 15% of lung cancers, and two-thirds of cases are metastatic at the time of diagnosis. The inhibitory notch ligand delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) is aberrantly expressed on the surface of up to 85% of SCLC cells and minimally expressed in normal tissues, making it a compelling therapeutic target. This is a phase I, first-in-human, 3+3 dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of BHP01 in patents with relapsed/refractory SCLC who progressed after at least 1 platinum based chemotherapy regimen.This is a dose escalation and dose expansion study. 12-21 patients with relapsed/refractory SCLC are planned to be enrolled (Group Pre-A/A/B/C). After the Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) observation period of the related dose group finished.16 patients are planned to enroll in dose expansion phase who was assign two groups with/without bridge radiotherapy.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with recurrent or refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC) confirmed by histology or cytology who have relapsed or progressed after treatment with one previous platinum-based regimen;
  • Patients can provide sufficient tumor tissue (fresh or paraffin sections, etc.);
  • Age 18 ~70 (including boundary), for both men and women;
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1;
  • Life expectancy ≥3 months;
  • At least one extracranial measurable lesion (RECIST v1.1) exists;for lesion after radiotherapy, must be confirmed that the lesion has progressed ;
  • Patients in limited-stage at the initial diagnosis must undergo radical thoracic radiotherapy and the time of tumor progression is not less than 3 months from the end of radiotherapy, or radical thoracic dose radiotherapy cannot be performed for specific reasons;
  • The test results of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C and syphilis were negative at screening;
  • Female patients or male reproductive age patients and their partners should agree to effective contraception from sighing Informed Consent Form (ICF) to 6 months after the last BHP01 infusion.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with known primary Central Nervous System (CNS) tumor, or meningeal metastasis, or patients with unstable CNS metastasis (symptomatic, requiring hormonal therapy within 4 weeks before investigational treatment, or no radiographic evidence of stabilization of the lesion for more than 4 weeks);
  • Received major surgical procedures (except for diagnosis) within 4 weeks before PBMCs collection, or are expected to require major surgical procedures during the study;
  • Received Chinese herbal medicine or Chinese patent medicine for anti-tumor indications within 7 days before Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) collection;
  • Patients with a history of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, mechanical pneumonia (such as bronchiolitis obliterans), drug-induced pneumonia or idiopathic pneumonia, or evidence of active pneumonia by chest computer tomography (CT) at screening [a history of radiation pneumonia (fibrosis) in the irradiated field may participate in this study];
  • Poorly controlled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring repeated drainage procedures (once a month or more frequently);
  • Poorly controlled or symptomatic hypercalcemia (ionic calcium> 1.5 mmol/L, calcium> 12 mg/dL or corrected calcium> ULN);
  • Presence of active or previous autoimmune diseases or immunodeficiencies, including but not limited to myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.;
  • Severe infection within 4 weeks before the start of PBMCs collection, including but not limited to hospitalization due to infection, bacteremia, severe pneumonia, or any active infection that may affect the patient's safety;
  • Serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (such as heart disease ≥New York Heart Association class II, myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident), unstable arrhythmia or unstable angina pectoris within 3 months before PBMCs collection;
  • Previous treatment with DLL 3 target drugs or CAR-T or other gene-modified T cells;
  • Received any other Investigational drug within 28 days prior to PBMCs collection;
  • A history of mental illness;
  • Incapacitated persons or persons with limited capacity;
  • pregnant or lactating females; Males or females who are unwilling to use adequate contraception; Females of childbearing potential are required to undergo a pregnancy study during the screening period;

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.
