About this study

Official title: Multi-center, Phase I Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Multiple Antigen Stimulating Cellular Therapy-I (MASCT-I) in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumor, and to Preliminarily Evaluate the Anti-tumor Efficacy of MASCT-I Alone, in Combination With Chemical Drugs, and in Combination With PD1 Antibody

The purpose of this study is to evaluate Safety and tolerability of MASCT-I in patients with advanced solid tumors, either alone or in combination with chemical drugs or in combination with PD1 antibody.

Read the detailed description

The multiple-antigen specific cell therapy which was developed by Hengrui Yuanzheng is optimized continuously and has been upgraded from the first-generation MASCT technology to MASCT-I. MASCT-I is a technology which add PD1 antibody in vitro cell culture process of MASCT cell culture to block PD1 receptor on immunocytes, release the brake on immunocytes' reinfusion and interaction with tumor cells for enhancing the efficacy of immunocytes' killing tumor cells. At present, the development and validation of manufacturing process has been completed, and it is urgently needed to conduct the validation of clinical effect.

This is a Multi-center, phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple antigen stimulating cellular therapy-I (MASCT-I) in patients with advanced solid tumor, and to preliminarily evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy of MASCT-I alone, in combination with chemical drugs, and in combination with PD1 antibody. About 193 cases of adult patients with advanced solid tumors will be recruited.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MASCT-I, Ifosfamide and PD1 antibody in people with Advanced Solid Tumors, run by HRYZ Biotech Co. at 9 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites 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 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.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: The study was terminated early due to the COVID-19 pandemic and sponsor's funding constraints, based on promising preliminary safety and efficacy data.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events(Safety) (time frame: up to 96 weeks). 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 NCT03034304, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 Jul 2025.
