Personalized KXV01 TCR Lentinvivo Injection as the Therapy for Advanced Solid Tumors

In recent years, the field has found that patient-specific anti-tumor treatment technologies have increasingly significant clinical application prospects and clinical value. Patient-specific anti-tumor in vivo TCR gene therapy is an advanced therapeutic strategy that can specifically recognize tumor neoantigens. This strategy is not restricted by patients' HLA typing nor by the type of indication.

This investigator-initiated clinical study aims to evaluate KXV01 TCR Lentinvivo, the third-generation self-inactivating lentiviral vector that carries patient-derived personalized tumor reactive TCR, in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study employs a BOIN design to assess safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy.
