About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Dose Escalation, Multi-Center Phase I/II Research Trial to Assess the Safety of ET140202 T Cells and Determine the Recommended Phase II Dose ("RP2D") in Adults With Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma ("HCC")

This is a open-label, dose escalation, multi-center, Phase I / Phase II study to assess the safety of an autologous T-cell product (ET140202) in adult subjects with advanced Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) positive/Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) A-2 positive Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to investigate a genetically modified autologous T-cell therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ET140202 T cells are autologous T cells genetically modified to carry a TCR-mimic (TCRm) construct capable of mediating cell killing by targeting tumor specific intracellular antigens and addressing solid tumor therapy challenges.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence rates of adverse events (AEs) after infusion of ET140202 T cells

    Safety and tolerability of ET140202 T cells as assessed by committee review of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) after infusion

    Measured: 28 days

  2. The recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) regimen of ET140202 T-cell therapy

    The RP2D will be determined by the study Dose Escalation Committee (DEC) and primarily based on DLT, and secondarily on the best tumor response

    Measured: up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Assess efficacy of ET140202 T cells by overall response rate (ORR) using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    As a measure of activity, overall response rate will be assessed by radiographic scans and assessed according to RECIST criteria.

    Measured: up to 2 years

  2. Assess efficacy of ET140202 T cells by complete response (CR) using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    As a measure of activity, CR rate will be assessed by radiographic scans and assessed according to RECIST criteria.

    Measured: up to 2 years

  3. Assess efficacy of ET140202 T cells by partial response (PR) using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    As a measure of activity, PR rate will be assessed by radiographic scans and assessed according to RECIST criteria.

    Measured: up to 2 years

  4. Assess efficacy of ET140202 T cells by progression-free survival (PFS) using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    As a measure of activity, PFS rate will be assessed by radiographic scans and assessed according to RECIST criteria.

    Measured: up to 2 years

  5. Assess efficacy of ET140202 T cells by overall survival (OS) using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    As a measure of activity, OS rate will be assessed by radiographic scans and assessed according to RECIST criteria.

    Measured: up to 2 years

  6. Assess the expansion of ET140202 T cells in the blood shortly after infusion.

    The maximum (peak) expansion of ET140202 T cells in the blood post infusion will be determined.

    Measured: up to 2 years

  7. Assess the persistence of ET140202 T cells circulating in blood over time.

    The level of ET140202 T cells in blood will be determined to assess the persistence of ET140202 T cells during the treatment and follow-up phases of the study.

    Measured: up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ET140202 autologous T cell product in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Liver Cancer, run by Eureka Therapeutics Inc. at 3 sites in United States.

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 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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: Reallocation of resources to new HCC study.). 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 rates of adverse events (AEs) after infusion of ET140202 T cells (time frame: 28 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Aug 2022.
