About this study
Official title: A Clinical Study of Adoptive Cellular Immunotherapy Using Pluripotent Killer T Cells Expressing Antibodies for Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2 (HER2) in Treating Patients With HER2-Positive Advanced Gastric Cancer With Liver Metastasis
Objectives:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PIK-HER2 cells in the treatment of advanced Her2 high expressed gastric cancer with liver metastasis patients.
Methods:
This study designs a novel therapy using PIK-HER2 cells. 40 Her2 positive patients with liver metastasis from gastric cancer will be enrolled. They are randomly divided into dendritic cell-precision multiple antigen T cells (DC-PMAT) group and PIK-HER2 cells group. Both DC-PMAT treatment and PIK-HER2 cells treatment will be performed every 3 weeks with a total of three periods. The mail clinical indicators are Progression-Free-Survival and Overall Survival.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing PIK-HER2 and DC-PMAT in people with Liver Metastasis and Gastric Cancer, run by Second Military Medical University at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Qijun Qian, PHD (+86-21-65580677, qianqj@sino-gene.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Overall survival (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02632201, which also lists 26 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jan 2016.
