Safety and Activity Study of HER2-Targeted Dual Switch CAR-T Cells (BPX-603) in Subjects With HER2-Positive Solid Tumors

April 18, 2023 updated by: Bellicum Pharmaceuticals

A Phase 1/2, Open-Label, Multicenter, Non-Randomized, Safety and Activity Study of HER2-Targeted Dual Switch CAR-T Cells (BPX-603) In Subjects With Previously Treated Advanced HER2-Positive Solid Tumors

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter, non-randomized study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of HER2-specific dual-switch CAR-T cells, BPX-603, administered with rimiducid to subjects with previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors which are HER2 amplified/overexpressed.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Suspended

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

  • Phase 1: Cell dose escalation to identify the maximum dose of BPX-603 administered without or with rimiducid. The first subject in each dose cohort will receive BPX-603 alone (without rimiducid) in order to assess safety of the CAR-T monotherapy.
  • Phase 2: Indication-specific dose expansion to assess the safety, pharmacodynamics (including BPX-603 persistence and response to temsirolimus as applicable), and clinical activity at the recommended dose for expansion (RDE) identified in Phase 1 in various HER2+ solid tumors.
  • During Phase 1 or 2, temsirolimus (single IV dose at 25 mg) may be administered following BPX-603 infusion in response to treatment-emergent toxicity in order to activate the iRC9 safety switch.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Documented evidence of HER2 amplification/overexpression by local testing.
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of a locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2+ solid tumor malignancy for which standard treatment is no longer effective, does not exist, or subject is ineligible.
  • Subjects with a solid tumor malignancy for which HER2-targeted therapy is approved as a standard treatment (e.g., breast, gastric cancers) must have received prior treatment with approved HER2-directed therapy.
  • Measurable disease (at least one target lesion) per RECIST v1.1.
  • Life expectancy > 12 weeks.
  • ECOG 0-1.
  • Adequate organ function.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Symptomatic, untreated, or actively progressing central nervous system metastases.
  • Prior CAR T cell or other genetically-modified T cell therapy.
  • Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac disease.
  • Symptomatic intrinsic lung disease or those with extensive tumor involvement of the lungs.
  • Severe intercurrent infection.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Known HIV positivity.
