Study summary

This is a single-arm, open-label, one center clinical study, to determine the safety and efficacy of infusion of autologous T cells engineered to express immune checkpoint antibodies (CTLA-4 and PD-1) and chimeric antigen receptor targeting mesothelin (mesoCAR-T) in adult patients with mesothelin positive, advanced recurrent or refractory malignant solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

This study will be conducted using a phase I/II trial design to assess the efficacy and safety of the CTLA-4 and PD-1 antibodies expressing mesothelin-CAR-T (mesoCAR-T) for patients with mesothelin positive, advanced recurrent or refractory malignant solid tumors. MesoCAR-T can specificly and effectively kill the mesothelin positive cancer cells, CTLA-4 and PD-1 antibodies are secreted from the CAR-T cells could improve immunosuppression microenvironment, new CAR-T cells contain the advantages of CAR-T and immune checkpoint inhibitor, which is a promising therapeutic method for advanced solid tumors.

The new CAR-T therapy is applied to clinical practice as bellow. T cells are prepared from peripheral blood mononuclear cells by leukapheresis, then activated and engineered to CTLA-4 and PD-1 antibodies expressing and chimeric antigen receptor targeting mesothelin. Cells are proliferated in culture and returned to the patients by venous transfusion. A total of 40 patients may be enrolled in the study. The total duration of the study is expected to be approximately 24 months.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Anti-CTLA-4/PD-1 expressing meso-CAR-T

    This study have only one arm that is the CTLA-4/PD-1 antibodies expressing mesoCAR-T cells group. All patients with advanced solid tumors will take part in the screening, who matching all the conditions will be chosen for the treatment.New CAR-T cells are cultured from PBMC and returned to the patients by venous transfusion.

    Biological: CTLA-4/PD-1 antibodies expressing mesoCAR-T

Interventions

  • BiologicalCTLA-4/PD-1 antibodies expressing mesoCAR-T

    Every cycle, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are collected on day 0, CAR-T cells are cultured in a GMP standard workshop. Patients are given a three-day regimen of chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide aimed to deplete the lymphocytes before cells infusion. Then the patients will receive an i.v.gtt infusion of CTLA-4 and PD-1 antibodies expressing mesothelin-targeted CAR-T cells at (2-5) ×10\^7 cells/kg from day 18 to day 19 (±2 days). 2 cycles are regarded as a treatment period.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Determine treatment-related adverse events of the immunotherapy with common toxicity criteria for adverse effects (CTCAE) version 4.0.

    Time frame: 2 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. The response evaluation of of the treatment for advanced solid tumors

    The efficacy of the treatment is assessed according to the response evaluation criteria in solid tumor version 1.1 (RECIST1.1), which is defined as complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), stable disease (SD), or progressive disease (PD).

    Time frame: 2 years

Other outcomes

  1. Progression free survival

    Progression free survival is defined as the time from the day in which the patient is enrolled to the date on which tumor progresses or the date on which the patient dies for any cause.

    Overall survival is defined as the time from the day in which the patient is enrolled to the date on which the patient dies for any cause.

    Time frame: 2 years

  3. The quality of life as assessed by EORTC QLQ-30

    The quality of life is assessed before and after the treatment by EORTC QLQ-30.

    CAR-T proportion in peripheral blood of the patients is detected by flow cytometry assay to study the proliferation and persistence of mesothelin specific CAR-T cells.

    Time frame: 6 months

  5. CTLA-4 and PD-1 antibodies levels in peripheral blood

    CTLA-4 and PD-1 antibodies levels are detected by ELISA assay to asess the expressing level of CTLA4 and PD-1 antibodies from CAR-T cells.
