Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is a clinical study on the safety, efficacy and I phase of single center, single arm, open-dose climbing, intravenous infusion of Anti- Epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) Chimeric Antigen Receptor(CAR) T cells modified by C-X-C Chemokine receptor type 5(CXCR 5) in patients with advanced adult non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: CXCR5 modified EGFR Chimeric Antigen Receptor Autologous T cells
Phase 1

Detailed Description

In this study, the dose(number of cells by body weight) and time of infusion should be recorded in detail according to the dosage of slope climbing and single infusion. The safety of chimeric antigen receptor T(CAR-T) cells treatment was evaluated by observing the adverse events after cell therapy. The effectiveness of CAR-T treatment was initially assessed compared with the results of the patient's own previous standard treatment plan. Blood was collected before and within 12 months after infusion to detect the number and activity of CAR-T cells and evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of CAR-T cells.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: EGFR CAR-T

Group: 3 dose levels

Biological: CXCR5 modified EGFR Chimeric Antigen Receptor Autologous T cells
The first dose group: 0.5 × 10^6/kg CAR positive T cells; The second dose group: 1.58 × 10^6 / kg CAR positive T cells; The third dose group: 5 × 10^6/kg CAR positive T cells. The above dose allows a 20 % error; For subjects with body weight greater than 60 kg, the number of cells can only be calculated according to 60 kg of body weight.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Safety by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0. [In CAR-T cells infusion, up to 52 weeks.]

    The type, frequency, severity, and duration of adverse events as a result of EGFR CAR T cells infusion will be summarized.

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR) [In CAR-T cells infusion, up to 52 weeks.]

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST 1.1) assessed by MRI or CT. ORR is the percentage of patients at Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (according to independent review), prior to progression or further anti-cancer therapy.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of CAR T cells in patients. [In CAR-T cells infusion, up to 6 weeks.]

    Cmax of CAR T cells in patients is monitored by flow or qPCR.

  2. Peak plasma time (Tmax) of CAR T cells in patients. [In CAR-T cells infusion, up to 6 weeks.]

    Tmax of CAR T cells in patients is monitored by flow or qPCR.

  3. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of CAR T cells in patients. [In CAR-T cells infusion, up to 6 weeks.]

    AUC of CAR T cells in patients is monitored by flow or qPCR.

Other Outcome Measures

  1. Duration of Response (DOR) [In CAR-T cells infusion, up to 52 weeks.]

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST v1.1) assessed by MRI or CT.

  2. Time to Response (TTR) [In CAR-T cells infusion, up to 52 weeks.]

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST v1.1) assessed by MRI or CT.

  3. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [In CAR-T cell infusion, up to 52 weeks.]

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST v1.1) assessed by MRI or CT. Kaplan-Meier plots will be used to summarize the progression-free survival.
