Early Phase 1

Recruiting

• Conditions: Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
• Interventions: Biological: BGT007 Cell Injection; Drug: Fludarabine; Drug: cyclophosphamide

• Registration Number: NCT05616468
• Lead Sponsor: The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University

Brief Summary

This is an exploratory study to evaluate the safety and preliminary effectiveness of BGT007 cells in the treatment of recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma

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\^5cells/kg，1.0 × 10\^6cells/kg，3.0 × 10\^6cells/kg，6.0 × 10\^6cells/kg，1.0 × 10\^7cells/kg。 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)
