Trial summary

This is a single-centre, single arm, open-label pilot study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of CAR-NK cell treatment in subjects with metastatic solid tumours. Autologous or allogeneic NK cells are transfected by mRNA electroporation to prepare investigational CAR-NK cells with transiently enhanced specificity… Read more about this study

About this study

This is a single-centre, single arm, open-label pilot study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of CAR-NK cell treatment in subjects with metastatic solid tumours. Autologous or allogeneic NK cells are transfected by mRNA electroporation to prepare investigational CAR-NK cells with transiently enhanced specificity and activity against NKG2D-ligand expressing cancer cells.

Conditions
Solid Tumours
Being tested
CAR-NK cells targeting NKG2D ligands

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CAR-NK cells targeting NKG2D ligandsBiological

    The infusion of CAR-NK cells will be performed in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. Following infusion of CAR-NK cells, interleukin-2 (IL-2) will be injected subcutaneously into some patients to support the in vivo survival of CAR-NK cells. The subject will be observed for any side effects during this time and all the adverse events will be recorded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CAR-NK cells targeting NKG2D ligands in people with Solid Tumours, run by The Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou 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 8 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 Aug 2018. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Xuehu Xu, MD (+86 20-81292822, maxtiger@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Adverse Events (time frame: from day 0 - month 4). 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 NCT03415100, 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 1 Aug 2018.
