Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalating + dose-expansion clinical study, aiming to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CEA-targeted CAR-T cell preparations, and to preliminarily observe the study drug in CEA-positive advanced malignant tumors. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of CAR-T cell preparations for the treatment of patients with CEA-positive advanced malignancies were obtained and the recommended dose and infusion schedule.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: CEA-targeted CAR-T cells
  • Biological: CEA-targeted CAR-T cells
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

According to the different infusion methods, it is divided into two subgroups: intravenous infusion and local infusion through the peritoneal cavity. Each subgroup includes a dose exploration stage (Part A) and a dose expansion stage (Part B). 3 patients were explored, starting from the low-dose group, and in the dose expansion phase, the safety and efficacy were further verified according to the safe recommended dose obtained in the dose exploration phase.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. To evaluate the safety of CAR-T cell preparations in the treatment of CEA-positive advanced malignancies [Safety and Tolerability] [1 month]

    The incidence of adverse events after CEA CAR-T cell infusion was assessed by the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 5.0)

  2. Obtained the recommended dose and infusion regimen of CAR-T cells for the treatment of patients with CEA-positive advanced malignancies[Safety and Tolerability] [28 days]

    Dose-limiting toxicity after CEA CAR-T cell infusion

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Assessing disease control rates of CAR-T cell preparations in CEA-positive advanced malignancies[Effectiveness] [3 month]

    Disease control rate: The proportion of subjects who achieved CR, PR, SD after CAR-T infusion accounted for all treated subjects (Assessed based on RECIST criteria),the minimum value is 0%,maximum value is 100%, and higher scores mean a better outcome.

  2. AUCS of CEA CAR-T cells [Cell dynamics] [3 months]

    AUCS is defined as the area under the curve in 90 days

  3. CMAX of CEA CAR-T cells [Cell dynamics] [3 months]

    CMAX is defined as the highest concentration of CEA CAR-T cells expanded in peripheral blood

  4. TMAX of CEA CAR-T cells[Cell dynamics] [3 months]

    TMAX is defined as the time to reach the highest concentration

  5. Pharmacodynamics of CEA CAR-T cells[Cell dynamics] [3 months]

    The content of CEA in peripheral blood was detected by ELISA at the visit points specified in the research protocol

Other Outcome Measures

  1. Objective response rate (ORR) of CEA CAR-T treatment in patients with CEA-positive advanced malignancies[Effectiveness] [1 years]

    Objective response rate includes:The proportion of subjects who achieved CR, PR after CAR-T infusion accounted for all treated subjects (Assessed based on RECIST criteria),the minimum value is 0%,maximum value is 100%, and higher scores mean a better outcome.

  2. Duration of Response (DOR) of CEA CAR-T treatment in patients with CEA-positive advanced malignancies[Effectiveness] [1 years]

    DOR will be assessed from the first assessment of CR/PR/SD to the first assessment of recurrence or progression of the disease or death from any cause

  3. Progress-free survival(PFS) of CEA CAR-T treatment in patients with CEA-positive advanced malignancies[Effectiveness] [1 years]

    PFS will be assessed from the first CEA-CAR-T cell infusion to death from any cause or the first assessment of progression(Assessed based on RECIST criteria)

  4. Overall survival(OS)of CEA CAR-T treatment in patients with CEA-positive advanced malignancies[Effectiveness] [1 years]

    OS will be assessed from the first CEA-CAR-T cell infusion to death from any cause (Assessed by investigators based on IRECIST criteria)
