Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults with recurrent or refractory solid tumors that express the PRAME antigen and who have limited treatment options.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other malignancies or those who do not express the required tumor antigen 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 clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of IMA203 and IMA203CD8, which are engineered T-cell therapies, either alone or in combination with nivolumab, for patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors expressing the PRAME antigen. Eligible patients will undergo leukapheresis to collect white blood cells, which will be used to manufacture the T-cell products. Prior to infusion, patients will receive lymphodepletion therapy to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. The study includes close monitoring of patients throughout the treatment and follow-up period, which lasts up to five years.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat solid tumors.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies utilizing engineered T-cell therapies have shown promising results, indicating potential for success with this approach.
