Treatment of CD70-positive advanced/metastatic solid tumors with CAR-T cells

A Phase I Clinical Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of CD70-targeting CAR-T in the Treatment of CD70-positive Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors

This study is testing a new type of CAR-T cell treatment for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have CD70, to see if it is safe and effective.

• Ages: 18 Years and up
• Sex: All
• Sponsor: Chongqing Precision Biotech Co., Ltd (industry)

• Trial ID: NCT05468190 on ClinicalTrials.gov

What this trial studies

This phase I clinical research evaluates the safety and tolerability of CD70-targeting CAR-T cells in patients with CD70-positive advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study is designed as a single-center, double-arm, open-label trial, consisting of two groups: one receiving intravenous infusions and the other receiving intraperitoneal injections. Each group will undergo a dose discovery phase to determine recommended doses, followed by a dose expansion phase to verify safety and efficacy. Approximately 12 subjects will be recruited for the discovery phase, with an additional 6 subjects in each dose group during the expansion phase.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with CD70-positive advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have exhausted standard treatment options.

Not a fit: Patients with tumors that do not express CD70 or those who have not yet undergone standard treatment options may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced solid tumors that express CD70.

How similar studies have performed: While CAR-T cell therapies have shown promise in hematological malignancies, this specific approach targeting CD70 in solid tumors is novel and has not been extensively tested.
