Brief summary
Multi-center, open-label, first in human Phase 1 study of the safety, tolerability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of the administration of genetically modified autologous T cells (CART-TnMUC1 cells) engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) capable of recognizing the tumor antigen, TnMUC1 and activating the T cell (CART- TnMUC1 cells).
Detailed description
The Dose Escalation phase of the study is designed to identify the dose and regimen of CART-TnMUC1 cells that can be safely administered intravenously following the lymphodepletion (LD) regimen to patients with (1) advanced TnMUC1+ solid tumors (triple negative breast cancer, epithelial ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer) and (2) advanced TnMUC1+ multiple myeloma in a parallel two-arm dose escalation study. The Dose Escalation phase is anticipated to enroll approximately 40 patients. The Expansion phase of the study is designed to assess the preliminary efficacy of CART-TnMUC1 cells administered intravenously to patients with TnMUC1+ solid tumors. The Expansion phase is anticipated to enroll approximately 72 patients (18 patients per each tumor indication).

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Confirmed diagnosis of metastatic treatment-resistant ovarian cancer (including cancers of the fallopian tube), pancreatic adenocarcinoma, hormone receptor (HR)-negative and HER2-negative (triple negative) breast cancer (TNBC) or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 or 1 * Prior therapies as defined by tumor type: * Multiple myeloma: relapsed or refractory disease previously treated with or intolerant to at least three different lines of therapy that contained at least one of the following drug classes: proteasome inhibitor, an immune modulatory drug, alkylators, CD38 monoclonal antibody and glucocorticoids. Patients must be at least 90 days since autologous stem cell transplant * NSCLC: i.)
