Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with advanced NSCLC who have shown EGFR expression and have experienced treatment failure with standard therapies.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without measurable tumor lesions or those with low EGFR expression may not benefit from this treatment.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study involves the intravenous infusion of CXCR5 modified EGFR targeted CAR-T cells in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is a single-arm, open-label trial that evaluates the safety and effectiveness of this innovative treatment approach. Participants will undergo detailed monitoring of the dosage and timing of the CAR-T cell infusion, with assessments of adverse events and treatment outcomes compared to previous standard therapies. Blood samples will be collected to analyze the activity and pharmacokinetics of the CAR-T cells over a 12-month period.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced NSCLC who have limited treatment alternatives.
How similar studies have gone: While CAR-T cell therapies have shown promise in hematological malignancies, this specific approach for NSCLC is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
