• Registration Number: NCT04780529
• Lead Sponsor: Innovative Cellular Therapeutics Co., Ltd.

Brief Summary

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells (CART) Therapy in GUYC2C postive Digestive system tumors, include colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, adenocarcinoma of esophagus, cancer of the esophagogastric junction.

Ict-gc is an open, single-center study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CAR-T-targeted therapy in patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumors.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of phase 1 is to evaluate the safety of CART regimens. The primary objective of phase 2 is to evaluate the efficacy of CART, as measured by objective response rate in subjects with colorectal cancer. Secondary objectives will include assessing the safety and tolerability of CART and additional efficacy endpoints.

Exclusion Criteria

1. T cell transduction efficiency <5% or T cell amplification < 2 times after culture;
2. Participated in other drug clinical trials within 4 weeks before the start of the study;
3. Patients with hypertension and unable to obtain good control by single antihypertensive drugs (systolic blood pressure > 140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure b> 90 mmHg, the specific conditions shall be evaluated by the researchers) have myocardial ischemia or infarction of grade I or above, arrhythmia of grade I or above (including QT interval ≥ 440ms) or cardiac insufficiency;

17. Any disease that may interfere with the evaluation of the safety or efficacy of the study treatment.

Study & Design

• Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Design: SINGLE_GROUP

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Patients with late malignant digestive tract tumor	gucy2c cart cells	Patients with late malignant digestive tract tumor, for example metastatic colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer and so on. because of this is a open, single arm trail, there is no control group.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of participants with CAR-T treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.03 [ Time Frame: 24 months ]	24 months	The investigator is responsible for ensuring that all adverse events observed by the investigator or reported by the subject during the 3-month period from enrollment (i.e. initiation of leukocyte separation) to 3 months after targeted car-t infusion are monitored and reported. After three months, researchers will be required to monitor and report targeted adverse events, including neurological, blood, infection, autoimmune diseases, and secondary malignant tumors, for 24 months or until disease progression, whichever occurs first.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The event of cytokine release syndrome was reported using the grading scale in the protocol.	24 months	We will summarize the classification of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) according to the severity and system organ classification.
Efficacy will be assessed according to RECIST1.1 or EORTC or PERCIST criteria	24 months	Remission will be evaluated by the central investigator at the time indicated in the evaluation plan. The disease was evaluated according to the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors RECIST version 1.1 or EORTC or percist. Flow cytometry, molecular or cytogenetic studies used in the trial will be used to assist, but will not be used alone to determine remission.
