Trial summary

γδT cells can directly recognize non-peptide tumor antigens, such as IPP phosphorylated metabolites, without relying on specific major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs). This unique characteristic leads to a lower risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clinical Study of the Safety and Tolerability of B7H3 CAR-γδT Cell Injection in the Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors

γδT cells can directly recognize non-peptide tumor antigens, such as IPP phosphorylated metabolites, without relying on specific major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs). This unique characteristic leads to a lower risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The clinical safety of γδT cells in allogeneic tumor therapies has been validated multiple times, highlighting their significant potential in developing universal CAR-T cell therapies.

B7H3 (CD276), a member of the B7 negative co-stimulatory molecule family, is minimally expressed or absent in normal tissues but highly expressed in various tumor tissues. As a result, B7H3 is regarded as a highly promising tumor-associated antigen and a universal drug target with substantial therapeutic potential.

By utilizing γδT cells as carrier cells, the development of universal B7H3 CAR-γδT cell injections for advanced solid tumors can effectively address risks such as autologous cell preparation failure and treatment delays. This innovative approach offers a highly efficient solution for solid tumor treatment and holds great promise for advancing immunotherapy in this field

Read the detailed description

This study is an open-label, dose-escalation exploratory clinical trial using γδ T cells derived from healthy donors, genetically engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting B7H3 on their membrane. Preclinical in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated the modified CAR-γδ T cells possess specific cytotoxicity against B7H3-positive tumor cells.

According to the patients' disease conditions, they were divided into an intravenous infusion group and an intraperitoneal infusion group. Both groups underwent a dose-escalation study using the "3+3" design.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs)

    AE is defined as any adverse medical event from the date of randomization to 12 months after B7H3 CAR-γδT cells infusion. Among them, cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) were graded according to American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) criteria, graft-versushost disease (GVHD) according to criteria defined by the Mount Sinai Acute GVHD International Consortium. Other AEs were graded according to common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) v5.0.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Best objective Response Rate

    The incidence of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), progressive disease (PD), or unevaluable (UE) as the best response to treatment assessed by investigators and based on the RECIST 1.1 criterion.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR is defined as the date of their first CR or PR (which is subsequently confirmed) to PD assessed by investigators and based on the RECIST 1.1 criterion, or death regardless of cause.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from the B7H3 CAR-γδT cells infusion date to the date of disease progression assessed by investigators and based on the RECIST 1.1 criterion, or death any cause. Participants not meeting the criteria for progression by the analysis data cutoff date were censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date.

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from B7H3 CAR-γδT cells infusion to the date of death. Subjects who have not died by the analysis data cutoff date will be censored at their last contact date.

    Measured: 12 months

  5. Immunogenicity: Proportion of subjects with anti drug antibody (ADA)

    ADAs include anti-donor γδT antibody or anti-B7H3 CAR single-chain variable fragment antibody.

    Measured: 12 months

  6. Pharmacodynamics

    The cytokines mainly include interleukin-2 (IL-2 ), IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), C reactive protein (CRP), ferritin. Peak was defined as the maximum post-baseline level of the cytokine.

    Measured: Up to 28 days after infusion

  7. Pharmacokinetics

    Persistence of B7H3 CAR-γδT cell assessed by number in peripheral blood and ascites

    Measured: 12 months

A Early Phase 1 study testing Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide and B7H3 CAR-γδT cells in people with Advanced Solid Tumors and Ovarian Cancers, run by Peking 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 12 inclusion and 13 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2025. 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 Lin Shen (010-88196561, doctorshenlin@sina.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: 12 months). 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 13 Feb 2025.
