Overview
This is a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, expansion, and persistence of TC-D101 CAR-T cells in patients with DLL3-positive Relapsed/Refractory primary small cell lung cancer(r/r SCLC) who have progressed after prior therapies. The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), with a secondary aim to assess preliminary clinical efficacy in SCLC.
Description
This study is designed as a single-arm, open-label, single-dose clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TC-D101 CAR-T cell therapy in patients with r/r SCLC. The study protocol consists of five main stages: (1) patient screening, (2) collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), (3) lymphodepletion chemotherapy, (4) TC-D101 CAR-T cell infusion, and (5) post-infusion follow-up.
