A Study of MG7 Redirected Autologous T Cells for Advanced MG7 Positive Liver Metastases(MG7-CART)

An Open-label, Uncontrolled, Single-arm Pilot Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Intratumoral Delivery Mediated MG7-targeted Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells in Advanced MG7 Positive Liver Metastases

The purpose of this study is to collect the data on the safety and potential effectiveness of intra-tumor injection of MG7-CART cells under ultrasound guidance in patients with liver metastases expressing MG7 positively.

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Liver Metastases
• Intervention / Treatment: Biological: MG7-CART

Detailed Description

Designer T cells are prepared by PBMC which from patients by leukapheresis, and then activated and re-engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) specific for MG7, which is a glycosylated protein of CEA. Cells are expanded in culture and returned to the participant by intra-tumor injection at the dose of (1-6)×108 CAR positive T cells. The cells perfusion process would last for 1min to 2min. The dose of 1.5 grams/m2 of cyclophosphamide will be given two days before CART cell infusion.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: MG7-CART; A single dose of MG7-CART cells will be administered by intra-tumor injection under ultrasound guidance. The dose is 1-6x108 MG7-CAR positive T cells. The infusion will be scheduled to occur 2 days after two doses of 1.5 grams/m2 of cyclophosphamide, which will be administered according to standard procedures. The cells perfusion process would lasts 1min to 2min, and an interventional radiologist would operate the cell infusion.

Biological: MG7-CART; Ultrasound-guided intra-tumor injection as the route of T cell delivery, so that more T cells gathered at the tumor site, less migrate to the normal tissue, thereby enhancing the efficacy of anti-tumor, reducing the potential of side effects. And MG7-CART is a 2nd CAR, with MG7 as the target protein, 4-1BB as co- stimulator; Other Names: Ultrasound-guided Intra-tumor Infusion of MG7-CART cells
