Functionally Enhanced ALPP-Targeted Engineered T Cells in Advanced Solid Tumors

This is a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, expansion, and persistence of functionally enhanced ALPP-targeted engineered T Cells (Herein referred to as Enhanced ALPP CAR-T) in patients with ALPP-positive recurrent or metastatic solid tumors who have progressed after prior therapies. The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), with a secondary aim to assess preliminary clinical efficacy in solid tumors.

About this study

This study is designed as a single-arm, open-label, single-dose clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Enhanced ALPP CAR-T in patients with recurrent or metastatic solid tumors. The study protocol consists of five main stages: (1) patient screening, (2) collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), (3) lymphodepletion chemotherapy, (4) ALPP CAR-T cell infusion, and (5) post-infusion follow-up.
