Clinical Study of Safety and Efficacy of Enhanced PSMA CAR- T in Refractory CRPC

April 17, 2024 updated by: Ren Shancheng, Shanghai Changzheng Hospital

The Safety and Efficacy Evaluation of Enhanced Autologous PSMA Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells in the Treatment of Refractory Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

This is one center, single-arm, open-label investigator initiated trial to assess the safety and efficacy of enhanced autologous PSMA chimeric antigen receptor T cells in the treatment for patients with refractory castration resistant prostate cancer, and the sample size is set to 7-18 subjects.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is one center, single-arm, open-label investigator initiated trial to assess the safety and efficacy of enhanced autologous PSMA chimeric antigen receptor T cells in the treatment for patients with refractory castration resistant prostate cancer, and the sample size is set to 7-18 subjects. Based on the "3 + 3" dose escalation design principle, subjects will be divided into 3 groups from low dose to high dose in sequence (Group A; Group B; Group C). Additional subjects will be enrolled into the RP2D group to ensure that 6-9 efficacy-evaluable subjects are available in the RP2D group before entering the phase II study.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Enhanced autologous PSMA-CAR T:
Enhanced autologous PSMA-CAR T is an electrotransfer system based on non-viral transposons that integrates the CAR gene into the genome of host cells by electrotransfer using PMSA as a target, while this CAR vector co-expresses enhanced factors and plays a strong regulatory role in innate and adaptive immunity.

3 escalated dosing cohorts are designed to explore safety and efficacy of enhanced autologous PSMA-CAR T:

cohort A: CART-PSMA cells 0.25×106/kgBW, following lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2/day and fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day given according to protocol;

cohort B: CART-PSMA cells 0.75×106/kgBW,following lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2/day and fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day given according to protocol;

cohort C: CART-PSMA cells 2×106/kgBW,following lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2/day and fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day given according to protocol;
