June 9, 2020 updated by: Lung-Ji Chang, Shenzhen Geno-Immune Medical Institute

Multi-center Phase I/II Clinical Trial of 4SCAR-CD44v6 T Cells for Treating Cancer

The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of 4SCAR-CD44v6 T-cell therapy targeting multiple cancers. The study also aims to learn more about the function of the CD44v6 CAR-T cells and their persistency in the patients.

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

CD44 variant domain 6 (CD44v6) which belongs to CD44 family has been implicated in tumorigenesis, tumor cell invasion and metastasis. The expression of CD44v6 was reported for the majority of squamous cell carcinomas, a proportion of adenocarcinomas of differing origin, a proportion of melanoma and lymphoma. This expression pattern has made CD44v6 an attractive target for the therapy of various types of CD44v6 positive cancers.

The T cells from patients or transplantation donors will be genetically modified with lentiviral CAR vector to recognize specific molecules - CD44v6 expressed on the surface of the cancer cells. The engineered T cells will be applied to patients through intravenous delivery.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of CD44v6 CAR-T cell therapy in multiple cancers including - but not limited to - stomach cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, multiple myeloma and lymphoma which are CD44v6 positive. Another goal of the study is to learn more about the function of the 4SCAR-CD44v6 T cells and their persistency in the patients.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

6 months to 75 years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study
