Study summary

This study evaluate the safety and tolerance of MASCT-I(multiple-antigen specific cell therapy) combined with PD1 antibody in patients with advanced gastric cancer who failed in first-line chemotherapy. The study is divided into three stages: the first, second stage is the stage of the dose climbing, and the third stage is the dose expansion stage. The patients would be treated with MASCT-I single drug therapy, MASCT-I+ low dose PD1 antibody therapy, and MASCT-I+ high dose PD1 antibody therapy.

Read the detailed description

The multiple-antigen specific cell therapy which was developed by Hengrui Yuanzheng is optimized continuously and has been upgraded from the first-generation MASCT technology to MASCT-I. MASCT-I is to add PD1 antibody in vitro cell culture process of MASCT technology to block PD1 receptor on immunocytes, relieving the brake at immunocytes' reinfusion and interaction with tumor cells for enhancing the effectiveness of immunocytes killing tumor cells.

This is a phase I study to evaluate the safety and tolerance of MASCT-I combined with PD1 antibody in patients with advanced gastric cancer who failed in first-line chemotherapy.

About 19-28 cases patients with advanced gastric cancer are to be recruited.

This study is divided into three stages:

The first, second stage is the stage of the dose climbing, and the third stage is the dose expansion stage. The first stage is MASCT-I, using 3+3 design, if the DLT≥33.3% from the mononuclear cell collection to 14 days after the first MASCT-I infusion of T cells,the experiment will be end. If the DLT\<33.3%, enter the second stage. The second stage is divided into two groups: MASCT-I+PD1 antibody in low dose group and MASCT-I+PD1 antibody in high dose group, using 3+3 design, if all patients in low dose group, the DLT≥33.3% from the mononuclear cell collection to 14 days after the first MASCT-I infusion of T cells, the experiment will be end. If DLT\<33.3% began high dose group. If all the patients in the high dose group, DLT ≥33.3%, the corresponding high dose group treatment will be terminated, entered the third stage, the dose of expansion, only by low dose treatment group of 10 patients of reentry. If all the patients in the high dose group, DLT\<33.3%, entered the third stage. Only 10 patients in the high dose group were treated with the corresponding high-dose group.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(14)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Brain metastases

Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).

Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
