CAR-T cell therapy targeting multiple cancer markers

Official title: CAR-T Targeting GPC3, Mesothelin, Claudin18.2, GUCY2C, B7-H3, PSCA, PSMA, MUC1, TGFβ, HER2, Lewis-Y, AXL, or EGFR for Immunotherapy of Lung Cancer: Phase I Clinical Trial

Run by Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University · NCT03198052 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new CAR-T cell therapy that aims to help patients with advanced lung cancer and other cancers by using their own modified immune cells to target specific cancer markers.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients with advanced cancer that expresses one or more of the targeted markers and has a life expectancy of more than 12 weeks.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe viral infections, known HIV positivity, or those who have previously received gene therapy may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This phase 1 clinical trial evaluates the safety, tolerance, and preliminary efficacy of a novel CAR-T cell therapy designed to target various cancer markers including GPC3, Mesothelin, Claudin18.2, and others in patients with advanced lung cancer and other cancers. Patients will undergo biopsies to confirm the expression of these markers, followed by the collection and modification of their T cells to enhance their cancer-fighting capabilities. The modified T cells will then be reintroduced into the patients to assess their anti-cancer effects.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this therapy could provide a new, effective treatment option for patients with advanced cancers expressing specific tumor markers.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies utilizing CAR-T cell therapies targeting specific cancer markers have shown promising results, indicating potential for success in this novel approach.
