A Study of CART-PSMA-TGFβRDN in Patients With Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

NCT04227275

Description:

Multi-center, open-label, Phase 1 study of the safety, tolerability and feasibility of dosing patients harboring metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with genetically modified autologous T cells (CART-PSMA-TGFβRDN cells) engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) capable of recognizing the tumor antigen prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and activating the T cell.

Purpose

Multi-center, open-label, Phase 1 study of the safety, tolerability and feasibility of dosing patients harboring metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with genetically modified autologous T cells (CART-PSMA-TGFβRDN cells) engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) capable of recognizing the tumor antigen prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and activating the T cell.

Detailed Description

      This is a Phase 1 single-arm study designed to identify the dose and regimen of CART-PSMA-
      TGFβRDN cells that can be safely administered intravenously following the lymphodepletion
      (LD) regimen to patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
      Following Dose Escalation, a Cohort Expansion will enroll patients to further explore the
      safety and tolerability of the selected dose and schedule.

      It is anticipated that up to 50 patients will enroll in this study in both dose escalation
      and cohort expansion.
