Purpose

A Phase 1b, open label, multi-center, clinical study of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells (CAR-T) targeting claudin18.2 in patients with advanced gastric or pancreatic adenocarcinoma

Detailed Description

      This is an open label, multi-center, Phase 1b clinical trial to evaluate the safety and
      efficacy of autologous claudin18.2 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy in patients with
      advanced gastric or pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

      Part A of the study will be Dose Escalation followed by Part B, an expansion cohort.
      Following consent, patients must have tumor tissue evaluated by CLDN18.2 IHC assay. Patients
      meeting all eligibility criteria will undergo a leukapheresis procedure to collect autologous
      mononuclear cells for manufacture of investigational drug product (CT041). Following
      manufacture of the drug product, subjects will receive preconditioning prior to CT041
      infusion. All subjects will be asked to continue to undergo long-term gene safety follow-up.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

        Patients are eligible for screening for potential inclusion in the study:

          1. Voluntarily signed the ICF;

             adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction, referred to collectively
             as STAD, or pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD);

          3. Must have CLDN18.2-positive tumor expression as determined by the CLDN18.2 IHC assay;

          4. Age ≥ 18 and ≤ 80 years with pathologically/histologically confirmed diagnosis of
             STAD, or PAAD who have failed or been intolerant of prior lines of systemic therapy;

             to leukapheresis;

          9. Patients should have reasonable CBC counts, renal and hepatic functions;

         10. Women of childbearing age must undergo a serum pregnancy test with negative results
             before screening and infusion and be willing to use effective and reliable method of
             contraception;
