Genetically Engineered Cells (MAGE-A1-specific T Cell Receptor-transduced Autologous T-cells) and Atezolizumab for the Treatment of Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer, Urothelial Cancer, or Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

NCT04639245

Description:

This phase I/II trial investigates the side effects of genetically engineered cells called FH-MagIC TCR-T cells and how well they work with atezolizumab in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer, urothelial cancer, or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). T cells are infection fighting blood cells that can kill tumor cells. The T cells given in this study will come from the patient and will have a new gene put in them that makes them able to recognize MAGE-A1, a protein on the surface of tumor cells. These MAGE-A1-specific T cells may help the body's immune system identify and kill MAGE-A1 tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving FH-MagIC TCR-T cells with atezolizumab may help treat patients with triple negative breast cancer, urothelial cancer, or non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

      OUTLINE:

      This is a phase I, dose escalation study of FH-MagIC TCR-T cells followed by a phase II
      study.

      LYMPHODEPLETION: Patients receive cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) and fludarabine IV on
      days -4, -3, and -2 before each T-cell infusion.

      T-CELL INFUSION: Patients receive FH-MagIC TCR-T cells IV over 15-20 minutes. Six to twelve
      weeks after first T-cell infusion, patients with progressive disease and non-persisting
      transgenic TCR T cells may receive a second T-cell infusion.

      In the Phase 2 portion of the study, atezolizumab will be administered as standard of care
      beginning 24-72 hours after T-cell infusion. Atezolizumab will be given IV every 3 weeks for
      at least 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. If an
      alternative PD1 inhibitor is instead available for a patient, it may be substituted instead.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up annually for 15 years after
      final infusion of FH-MagIC TCR-T.
