Treatment of advanced solid tumors using ACE2016 cell therapy

Official title: A Phase 1 Multicenter Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of ACE2016, an Allogeneic Anti-EGFR Conjugated Gamma Delta T Cell (gdT) Therapy in Adult Subjects With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors Expressing Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)

Run by Acepodia Biotech, Inc. · NCT06415487 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new cell therapy called ACE2016 to see if it can help people with advanced solid tumors that have not improved with other treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumors that have failed at least two lines of therapy, including one targeted therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with active central nervous system metastases or those who have previously received genetically modified cell therapy targeting EGFR may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates ACE2016, an allogeneic gamma delta T cell therapy derived from healthy donors, for patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that express the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The study is an open-label, Phase I trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of ACE2016 in this patient population. Participants will receive ACE2016 along with other treatments such as cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, and pembrolizumab. The trial aims to determine how well this innovative therapy works in patients who have not responded to previous treatments.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this therapy could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors that have limited treatment alternatives.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies using gamma delta T cell therapies have shown promise, suggesting potential for success in this novel approach.
