CD70-Targeted CAR-T Therapy in CD70-Positive Advanced Solid Tumors

This study is a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalating + dose-expansion clinical study, aiming to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CD70-targeted CAR-T cell preparations, and to preliminarily observe the study drug in CD70-positive advanced malignant tumors. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of CAR-T cell preparations for the treatment of patients with CD70-positive advanced malignancies were obtained and the recommended dose and infusion schedule.

Key information

About this study

According to the different infusion methods, patients will be assigned to three parallel subgroups: intravenous infusion, intrapleural infusion, and intraperitoneal infusion.

Within each subgroup, the study is conducted in two sequential parts:

  • .Part A (dose-escalation): escalation begins at the lowest dose level; 3-6 subjects are enrolled at each dose level;
  • .Part B (dose-expansion): additional subjects are treated at the recommended dose identified in Part A to further evaluate safety and preliminary efficacy.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Treatment and study plan

    Disease control rate: The proportion of subjects who achieved CR, PR, SD after CAR-T infusion accounted for all treated subjects (Assessed based on RECIST criteria),the minimum value is 0%,maximum value is 100%, and higher scores mean a better outcome.

Other outcomes

  1. Objective response rate (ORR) of CD70 CAR-T treatment in patients with CD70-positive advanced malignancies [Effectiveness]

    Objective response rate includes:The proportion of subjects who achieved CR, PR after CAR-T infusion accounted for all treated subjects (Assessed based on RECIST criteria),the minimum value is 0%,maximum value is 100%, and higher scores mean a better outcome.

    DOR will be assessed from the first assessment of CR/PR/SD to the first assessment of recurrence or progression of the disease or death from any cause

  3. Progress-free survival(PFS) of CD70 CAR-T treatment in patients with CD70-positive advanced malignancies [Effectiveness]

    Time frame: 2 years

    PFS will be assessed from the first CD70 CAR-T cell infusion to death from any cause or the first assessment of progression(Assessed based on RECIST criteria)
