BGT007 Cells for the Treatment of Refractory Digestive System Tumors

Early Phase 1

Recruiting

• Conditions: Gastrointestinal Cancer
• Interventions: Biological: BGT007 Injection

• Registration Number: NCT06104241
• Lead Sponsor: The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University

Brief Summary

This is an exploratory clinical study evaluating the safety and initial efficacy of BGT007 injection in the treatment of recurrent/metastatic/refractory digestive system tumors

Detailed Description

The researchers designed a single arm, open, exploratory study to improve the "3+3" dose escalation. The maximum dose or the best effective dose shall be determined according to the subject and dose increasing test to verify the safe and effective number of cells per unit weight. The improved "3+3" dose increasing design was adopted, and BGT007 cells were set with 5 dose groups that were gradually increased for treatment evaluation. The dose groups were 5.0 × 10\^7cells，1.0 × 10\^8cells，3.0 × 10\^8cells，1.0 × 10\^9cells，3.0 × 10\^9cells. Cell reinfusion will be carried out on day 0 (d0), and each subject will be observed for at least 4 weeks after receiving cell reinfusion (DLT observation period).

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
BGT007 Cell Injection	BGT007 Injection	This is an exploratory study of single-arm, open, modified "3+3" dose escalation. The BGT007 cell therapy group received five progressively increased dose levels (5.0× 10\^7 cells,1.0 ×10\^8 cells, 3.0× 10\^8 cells,1.0 × 10\^9 cells,3.0 ×10\^9 cells) of BGT007 cells. Each subject was observed for at least 4 weeks after cell transfusion (DLT observation period). The first two dose groups (5.0×10\^7 cells and 1.0×10\^8 cells) included 1 subject each, and the other three dose groups were followed by conventional "3+3" dose increments.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT）	From day 0 to day 28	Adverse events related to cell therapy were observed on 28 days after BGT007 injection, as specified in protocol.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
C max	12 months	The amplification of BGT007 injection in peripheral blood peaked after administration.
T max	12 months	Number of days of peak BGT007 injection expansion after administration.
ORR	12 months	Reportion of patients who achieved pre-defined tumor volume reduction and maintained the minimum time limit. Imaging examination was performed after administration, and RECIST1.1 evaluation criteria was used for evaluation.
PFS	12 months	The time from the onset of leukocyte apheresis to the appearance of tumor progression or death.
