Chemokine and Co-stimulatory Molecule-modified Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Advanced Colorectal Cancer
A Early Phase 1 study testing MSC-L in people with Advanced Colorectal Cancer, run by Shanghai East Hospital at 1 site in China.
Trial summary
The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord-derived allogenic mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) engineered to express antitumor chemokine and co-stimulatory molecule.

About this study
Official title: CXCL Chemokine and TNF Superfamily Co-stimulatory Molecule-modified Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Advanced Colorectal Cancer
The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord-derived allogenic mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) engineered to express antitumor chemokine and co-stimulatory molecule. Following systemic administration, these cells are able to migrate into solid tumors such as colorectal tumors. Once enriched in the tumor, they will attract peripheral lymphocytes consisting of T and natural killer (NK) cells, and simultaneously stimulate the infiltrated lymphocytes for persistent and enhanced antitumor immunity. Thus, this MSC-based treatment provides a potentially effective and targeted immunotherapeutic strategy for tumors with unfavorable immune microenvironment and possibly poor response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB).
During this investigator-initiated trial (IIT), colorectal cancer patients will receive modified MSCs every 21 days via intravenous infusion. Increasing does will be tested in the initial cohort and an optimal dose will be chosen for the remaining patients.
- Conditions
- Advanced Colorectal Cancer
- Being tested

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Early Phase 1 study testing MSC-L in people with Advanced Colorectal Cancer, run by Shanghai East Hospital 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?
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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jun 2024. 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?
Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Yanan Hai, MD (+86-18817821998, yanan_hai@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Dose-Limiting Toxicities rate (DLT) (time frame: 4 months). The study lists 3 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 6 Jun 2024.
