A Safety and Efficacy Study Evaluating CTX131 in Adult Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors

November 21, 2025 updated by: CRISPR Therapeutics AG

A Phase 1/2, Open-label, Multicenter, Dose Escalation and Cohort Expansion Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Anti-CD70 Allogeneic CRISPR-Cas9-Engineered T Cells (CTX131) in Adult Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors

This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1/2 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of CTX131™ in subjects with relapsed or refractory solid tumors.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

An open-label, multi-center Phase 1/2 study of CTX131 in subjects with relapsed/refractory solid tumors. CTX131 is an is allogeneic CD70- directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell immunotherapy comprised of allogeneic T cells that are genetically modified ex vivo using CRISPR-Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/ CRISPR associated protein 9) gene editing components (single guide RNA and Cas9 nuclease).
