Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with advanced or metastatic colorectal, gastric, esophageal, or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma who have measurable disease, at least one lesion amenable to biopsy, ECOG 0–1, and adequate organ function are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Patients with active CNS metastases, recent rapid disease progression, prior organ or hematopoietic cell transplant, active hepatitis B or HIV, significant effusions or peritoneal carcinomatosis, or those on antiviral therapy are unlikely to qualify or receive benefit from this protocol.

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

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 1, multicenter, open-label trial of DISP-10, a combination of DV-10 (an adenovirus) and idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel, BCMA-directed CAR T). The study has two parts: a dose-escalation phase to find a recommended dose for expansion, followed by a dose-expansion phase to further study safety and preliminary efficacy at that dose. Eligible adults must have histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic colorectal, gastric, esophageal, or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma with measurable disease and at least one site suitable for biopsy, an ECOG performance status of 0–1, and adequate organ function. Key exclusions include prior solid organ or stem-cell transplant, active hepatitis B or HIV, active CNS metastases, recent rapid progression, or significant effusions or peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, DISP-10 could produce meaningful and potentially durable tumor shrinkage for some patients with advanced GI cancers who have limited standard options.

How similar studies have gone: CAR T therapies have been highly successful in blood cancers but remain largely unproven in solid tumors, and combining an oncolytic adenovirus with CAR T cells is a relatively novel approach with limited clinical proof-of-concept so far.
