简要总结

  • Transmembrane 4 L Six Family Member 1 (TM4SF1) and Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) are both highly expressed in many epithelial-derived solid tumors.
  • The Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cells (CAR-T) that target TM4SF1 or EpCAM have been generated respectively in our good manufacturing practices (GMP) facility and their anti-tumor effects have been demonstrated in multiple in vitro and in vivo studies.
  • Clinical studies are proposed here to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of these cell therapy products for treatment of patients with TM4SF1 or EpCAM positive tumors. In this study, the safety, tolerance, and preliminary efficacy of CART-TM4SF1 and CART-EpCAM cells will be examined inpatients with refractory/recurrent advanced pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer or lung cancer. And 9 patients for each cancer will be evaluated.
  • Clinical and immunological responses will be evaluated about 30 days and last up to 2 years after CAR-T cell infusion.

详细描述

Background:

  • While great progress has been made in CAR T-cell therapy for the treatment of hematologic malignancies, its use in solid tumors is still at the exploratory stage.
  • Transmembrane 4 L Six Family Member 1 (TM4SF1) protein mediates signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility. It is a cell surface antigen and is highly expressed in different carcinomas. Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM),is a transmembrane glycoprotein of 40 kilodaltons (kDa). EpCAM is highly expressed in many epithelial-derived tumors, such as colon, stomach, pancreas, lungs, ovaries and breasts. Recently, EpCAM has been identified as the surface marker of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cancer stem cells (CSCs).
  • The investigators have developed novel TM4SF1-targeting CAR T-cells (CART-TM4SF1 cells) and EpCAM-targeting CAR T-cells (CART-EpCAM cells) for solid tumor treatment. These engineered T-cells can target and kill the TM4SF1- or EpCAM-positive tumor cells in vitro or in mice. Both of the CAR molecules contain a safety switch based on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to ensure the safety.
  • The investigators propose to investigate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of CART-TM4SF1 cells and CART-EpCAM cells for solid cancers in patients.

Objectives:

Primary objectives:

  1. To determine the safety/tolerance dosages and adverse effects of CART-TM4SF1 cells or CART-EpCAM cells in the treatment of TM4SF1- or EpCAM-positive recurrent/refractory advanced solid tumors.
  2. To preliminarily evaluate the efficacy of CART-TM4SF1 cells and CART-EpCAM cells in the treatment of TM4SF1- and EpCAM-positive recurrent/refractory advanced solid tumors.
