A Clinical Trial of CEA Targeting CAR-T for CEA Positive Advanced Lung Cancer

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating a new treatment called CAR-T cell therapy for people with advanced lung cancer that tests positive for a specific marker known as CEA. Lung cancer is a serious illness, and many patients do not respond well to standard treatments. The goal of this trial is to see if modifying CAR-T cells can help them better attack cancer cells and remain active in the body longer. This could potentially improve the outcomes for patients who have already tried other therapies without success.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer that is either recurrent or has spread. They should also have already received at least two standard treatment options that did not work for them. Participants will need to have a confirmed positive result for the CEA marker in their tumor samples and meet several health criteria to ensure they are suitable for the treatment. If eligible, participants can expect to receive the CAR-T cell therapy and be monitored closely for its effects. This trial is an opportunity to explore a promising new treatment option for advanced lung cancer.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Age ≥18 years old, male or female;
• • 2. histologically or pathologically confirmed advanced, metastatic or recurrent lung cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer;
• • 3. Progression or intolerance (including but not limited to surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, etc.) after receiving at least second-line standard therapy, patients with driver gene positive non-small cell lung cancer need to receive corresponding targeted therapy for disease progression or intolerance. Patients with driver negative non-small cell lung cancer or small cell lung cancer need to receive platinum-containing chemotherapy for disease progression or intolerance;
• • 4. Immunohistochemical staining of tumor samples within 3 months confirmed CEA positive (clear membrane staining, positive rate ≥10%); If the immunohistochemical results of tumor samples are more than 3 months from the time of screening (clear membrane staining, positive rate ≥10%), the patient's serum CEA should exceed 10ug/L.
• • 5. There is at least one evaluable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, and the length of the extranodal lesion should be ≥10mm; For nodular lesions, the short diameter of the lymph node should be ≥15mm.
• • 6. ECOG score 0-2 points ;
• • 7. The expected survival time is more than 12 weeks;
• • 8. no serious mental disorders;
• 9. Unless otherwise stated, the subject's vital organ functions shall meet the following conditions:
• • 1. Blood routine: Neutrophils \> 1.0×109/L, platelet \> 75×109/L, hemoglobin \> 80g/L;
• • 2. Cardiac function: Echocardiography indicated cardiac ejection fraction ≥50%, and no obvious abnormality was found in electrocardiogram;
• • 3. Renal function: serum creatinine ≤2.0×ULN;
• • 4. Liver function: ALT and AST≤3.0×ULN (patients with liver tumor infiltration can be relaxed to ≤5.0×ULN);
• • 5. Total bilirubin ≤2.0×ULN;
• • 6. Blood oxygen saturation in non-oxygen state \> 92%.
• • 10. Have the criteria for simple or intravenous blood collection, and no other contraindications for cell collection;
• • 11. The subject agrees to use a reliable and effective contraceptive method for contraception (excluding safe period contraception) for 1 year from signing the informed consent to receiving the CAR T cell infusion;
• • 12. The patient or his/her guardian agrees to participate in the clinical trial and signs the ICF, indicating that he/she understands the purpose and procedure of the clinical trial and is willing to participate in the study.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Patients with central nervous system metastasis or meningeal metastasis with clinical symptoms at the time of screening, or with other evidence that the central nervous system metastasis or meningeal metastasis was not controlled, and the investigators judged that they were not suitable for inclusion;
• • 2. Participating in other clinical studies within 1 month before screening;
• • 3. Received live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to screening;
• • 4. have received any of the following anti-tumor therapies prior to screening: chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or other investigational agents within 14 days or at least 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter;
• • 5. There is an active infection or uncontrollable infection that requires systemic treatment;
• • 6. The tumor compresses the trachea or important large blood vessels, and the risk is greater as assessed by researchers;
• • 7. There is a large number of uncontrollable fluid accumulation in the serous cavity;
• • 8. Toxicity of previous antitumor therapy has not improved to baseline level or ≤ grade 1, except for alopecia or peripheral neuropathy;
• 9. Have any of the following heart conditions:
• • 1. New York Heart Association (NYHA) Stage III or IV congestive heart failure;
• • 2. Had myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) within ≤6 months before enrollment;
• • 3. A history of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia, or unexplained syncope (other than those caused by vasovagal or dehydration);
• • 4. History of severe non-ischemic cardiomyopathy;
• • 10. Patients with active autoimmune diseases, or other patients requiring long-term immunosuppressive therapy;
• • 11. Other uncured malignant tumors within the past 3 years or at the same time, except cervical carcinoma in situ and skin basal cell carcinoma;
• • 12. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positive and peripheral blood hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA titer greater than the normal range; Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive and peripheral blood hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA detection greater than the normal range; Positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies; Syphilis positive;
• • 13. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding;
• • 14. Circumstances deemed unsuitable for participation in the study by other researchers.
