Study of ET140203 T Cells in Adults With Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (ARYA-1)

April 3, 2024 updated by: Eureka Therapeutics Inc.

An Open-Label, Dose Escalation, Multi-Center Phase I/II Research Trial to Assess the Safety of ET140203 T Cells and Determine the Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) in Adults With Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) (ARYA-1)

Open-label, dose escalation, multi-center, Phase I / II study to assess the safety of an autologous T-cell product (ET140203) in adult subjects with Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-positive/Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) A-2-positive advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to investigate an autologous T-cell therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ET140203 T cells are autologous T cells genetically modified to carry a TCR-mimic (TCRm) construct capable of mediating cell killing by targeting tumor specific intracellular antigens and addressing solid tumor therapy challenges.
