Purpose

This study is an open-label, single arm phase 1b safety study of CAR2 Anti-CEA CAR-T cell hepatic arterial infusions for pancreatic carcinoma patients with carcinoembryonic antigen positive (CEA+) liver metastases resistant to standard therapy who meet all other eligibility criteria.

Detailed Description

      Patients will receive weekly 3 doses of CAR2 Anti-CEA CAR-T cells in each 28-day cycle by
      hepatic arterial infusions using a Pressure Enhanced Delivery Device (PEDD) with low dose
      systemic IL-2 support. Patients may receive up to 3 cycles of CAR2 Anti-CEA CAR-T cell
      hepatic arterial infusions, per discretion of the investigator.

      All patients who receive investigational CAR-T therapy will be included in the analyses and
      summaries of safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic assessments.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Must have documented CEA+ pancreatic adenocarcinoma liver metastases and have failed
             greater than or equal to 1 line of conventional systemic therapy.

          -  Must have at least evaluable liver metastases.

          -  Must have a life-expectancy at least 12 weeks.

          -  Patients must be willing and able to comply with the study schedule and all other
             protocol requirements.

          -  Females of childbearing potential must have 2 negative pregnancy tests, agree to
             pregnancy tests during the study, and sexually active female and male patients must be
             willing to use an effective birth control method to avoid pregnancy.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Subjects who have received an investigational study drug within 14 days of
             leukapheresis or 28 days before receiving first dose of study drug.

          -  Subjects who have received any approved anticancer medication within 14 days of
             leukapheresis or 14 days before receiving the first dose of study drug.

          -  Have any unresolved toxicity greater than Grade 2 from previous anticancer therapy.

          -  Have a history of confirmed metastases outside the peritoneal cavity, lungs, or liver.

          -  More than 50% replacement of one or both liver lobes with tumor.

          -  Has tumor causing biliary obstruction not amenable to stenting.

          -  Have a high volume of lung or peritoneal metastases.

          -  Has received any CAR cell line therapies.

          -  Has any clinically significant low baseline lab results for hemoglobin, platelet
             counts, and neutrophil counts at screening.

          -  Has untreated or ongoing intra-abdominal infection or bowel obstruction.

          -  Has any clinically significant elevated baseline lab results for serum creatinine,
             AST, and total bilirubin (except for patients in whom hyperbilirubinemia is attributed
             to Gilbert's syndrome), and alkaline phosphatase at screening regardless of causality.

          -  Known HIV or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related illness, acute or history of
             chronic hepatitis B or C.

          -  Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

          -  Have active bacterial, viral, or fungal infections.

          -  Has any significant medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness
             that would prevent study participation.

          -  Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40%.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Assess preliminary efficacy by overall survival
Time Frame:6 months
Safety Issue:
Description:As a measure of activity, Overall Survival (OS) will be assessed. The events for the assessment of OS are death events. Time to event endpoints will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Point estimates and 95% confidence intervals will be provided where applicable.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Assess preliminary efficacy by radiographic response rate using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)
Time Frame:6 months
Safety Issue:
Description:As a measure of activity, overall response rate will be assessed by radiographic scans using RECIST criteria. Response will be assessed for each patient over a 6-month timeframe during the treatment and observation phases of the protocol.
Measure:Assess preliminary efficacy by metabolic response rate using PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST)
Time Frame:6 months
Safety Issue:
Description:As a measure of activity, overall response rate will be assessed by radiographic scans using PERCIST criteria. Response will be assessed for each patient over a 6-month timeframe during the treatment and observation phases of the protocol.
Measure:Assess preliminary efficacy by response rate using Immune-related Response Criteria (irRC)
Time Frame:6 months
Safety Issue:
Description:As a measure of activity, overall response rate will be assessed by radiographic scans using irRC. Response will be assessed for each patient over a 6-month timeframe during the treatment and observation phases of the protocol.
Measure:Assess preliminary efficacy by histologic response rate using pathologic response in biopsy specimens
Time Frame:6 months
Safety Issue:
Description:As a measure of activity, overall response rate will be assessed by pathologic criteria using biopsies of the liver metastases and measuring necrosis and fibrosis. REsponse rates will be assess for each patient over a 6-month timeframe during the treatment and observation phases of the protocol.
Measure:Assess preliminary efficacy by serologic response rates by CEA levels
Time Frame:6 months
Safety Issue:
Description:As a measure of activity, overall response rate will be assessed by serologic CEA levels. Response will be assess for each patient over a 6-month timeframe during the treatment and observation phases of the protocol.
Measure:Assess preliminary efficacy by serologic response rates by CA 19-9 levels
Time Frame:6 months
Safety Issue:
Description:As a measure of activity, overall response rate will be assessed by serologic CA 19-9 levels. Response will be assess for each patient over a 6-month timeframe during the treatment and observation phases of the protocol.
Measure:Assess preliminary efficacy by duration of response in accordance with RECIST criteria
Time Frame:6 months
Safety Issue:
Description:As a measure of activity, duration of response will be measured using radiologic scans and assessed according to RECIST criteria. This will be assess for each patient over a 6-month timeframe during the treatment and observation phases of the protocol.
Measure:Assess preliminary efficacy by in-liver progression free survival (PFS)
Time Frame:6 months
Safety Issue:
Description:As a measure of activity, in-liver PFS will be assessed. The events for the assessment of PFS are disease progression and death events. This time to event endpoint will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Point estimate estimates and 95% confidence intervals will be provided where appropriate.
