Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with recurrent unresectable solid tumors expressing mesothelin and having lost HLA-A*02 expression.

Probably not a fit

Patients with solid tumors that are suitable for local therapy or can receive standard of care treatments 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 study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of A2B694, a logic-gated CAR T-cell therapy, in adults with solid tumors such as colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and others that express mesothelin and have lost HLA-A*02 expression. The study is divided into two phases: Phase 1 focuses on determining the recommended safe dose of A2B694, while Phase 2 assesses its effectiveness in killing tumor cells while protecting healthy cells. Participants will undergo apheresis for cell collection, followed by a lymphodepletion regimen and administration of the CAR T cells. The goal is to provide a safer and more effective treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this therapy could offer a novel and less toxic treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors.

How similar studies have gone: While CAR T-cell therapies have shown success in hematological malignancies, this approach for solid tumors is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

1. Appropriately enrolled in the BASECAMP-1 A2 Biotherapeutics, Inc. study, with tissue demonstrating LOH of HLA-A\*02 by NGS (whenever possible from the primary site), successful apheresis and PBMC processing, and with sufficient stored cells available for Tmod CAR T-cell therapy
2. Histologically confirmed recurrent unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic CRC, NSCLC, PANC, OVCA, MESO, or other solid tumors with MSLN expression. Measurable disease is required with lesions of ≥1.0 cm by CT.
3. Received previous required therapy for the appropriate solid tumor disease as described in the protocol
4. Has adequate organ function as described in the protocol
5. ECOG performance status of 0 to 1
6. Life expectancy of ≥3 months
7. Willing to comply with study schedule of assessments including long term safety follow up

Key Exclusion Criteria:

1. Has disease that is suitable for local therapy or able to receive standard of care therapy that is therapeutic and not palliative
2. Prior allogeneic stem cell transplant
3. Prior solid organ transplant
4. MESO with pleural involvement extending into the peritoneum
5. Cancer therapy within 3 weeks or 3 half lives of infusion
6. Radiotherapy within 28 days of infusion
7. Unstable angina, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, or any other significant cardiac disease within the last 6 months
8. Any new symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) or a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) within 3 months of enrollment. Therapeutic dosing of anticoagulants is allowed for history of PE or DVT if greater than 3 months from time of enrollment, and adequately treated
9. History of interstitial lung disease including drug-induced interstitial lung disease and radiation pneumonitis that requires treatment with prolonged steroids or other immune suppressive agents within 1 year
10. Requires supplemental home oxygen
11. Females of childbearing potential who are pregnant or breastfeeding
12. Subjects, both male and female, of childbearing potential who are not willing to practice birth control from the time of consent through 6 months post infusion
