In vivo CAR‑T treatment targeting BCMA, GPRC5D, DLL3, and FcRH5 for advanced tumors
Official title: A Phase I Study of the In Vivo CAR-T Platform for Treating Advanced Malignant Tumors Based on Target Screening
Run by Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences · NCT07395479 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will try an in-body CAR-T injection to treat adults with relapsed or refractory advanced blood cancers or solid tumors that express BCMA, GPRC5D, DLL3, or FcRH5.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with relapsed or refractory advanced hematologic or solid tumors that express the study target antigen, who meet performance status and organ-function requirements.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose tumors do not express the selected target, who have uncontrolled infections or active CNS metastases, or who have severe cardiac or pulmonary disease or recent anticancer treatments are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies
This single-arm, open-label, single-center, dose-escalation Phase I platform trial tests V001, an in vivo CAR‑T lentiviral injection, in cohorts defined by tumor type and target antigen. Patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies or solid tumors whose tumors express the chosen target (BCMA, GPRC5D, DLL3, or FcRH5) are enrolled into separate cohorts. Primary endpoints are safety and tolerability, with secondary and exploratory endpoints including preliminary anti-tumor activity, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. The platform design allows multiple V001 constructs to be tested sequentially using dose-escalation to define recommended doses and early signals of activity.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a more accessible, in-body CAR-T option that produces targeted immune responses against relapsed or refractory tumors.
How similar studies have gone: Ex vivo CAR-T therapies have shown strong success in certain blood cancers, but in vivo CAR-T delivery is a newer, experimental approach with limited early human data.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years. * Histologically confirmed advanced hematological malignancies (e.g., multiple myeloma, lymphoma) or solid tumors (e.g., small cell lung cancer) that are relapsed or refractory. * Tumor cells express the relevant target (e.g., BCMA, GPRC5D, DLL3) as required for the specific cohort. * ECOG performance status 0-2 (hematological malignancies) or 0-1 (solid tumors) and life expectancy ≥ 3 months. * Adequate organ function (e.g., creatinine clearance ≥45 mL/min, LVEF ≥45%). * Patients of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception during the study and for 1 year after dosing. * Signed informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Active, uncontrolled infection. * Active central nervous system metastases or involvement. * Prior anticancer therapy, radiotherapy, or investigational therapy within specified timeframes before the first study dose. * Severe cardiac or pulmonary disease (e.g., NYHA Class III/IV heart failure), severe hepatic or renal impairment. * Active Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, or syphilis infection. * Prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (within specified window) or active graft-versus-host disease. * Pregnancy or lactation. * History of severe allergy to any components of the investigational product. * Any other condition deemed by the investigator to increase risk or interfere with study results.
