Overview
Brief Summary
Phase I: To study the safety and feasibility of AT with autologous MC2 TCR T cells, combined with epigenetic drug treatment, in patients with advanced melanoma or HNSCC. Adverse events (AEs) will be documented according to CTCAE v5.0. To define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MC2 TCR T cells in the combination treatment. Phase II: To assess the efficacy of AT with autologous MC2 TCR T cells at MTD, combined with epigenetic drug treatment, in patients with advanced melanoma or HNSCC. Tumor response will be evaluated using RECIST v1 .1.
