Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with advanced, metastatic, or recurrent CEA-positive solid tumors who have failed at least second-line standard treatments.

Probably not a fit

Patients with tumors that do not express CEA or those who have not undergone prior standard treatments 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 study evaluates the safety and efficacy of CEA-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T lymphocytes (CAR-T) in patients with advanced malignant solid tumors that express carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The study is open-label and involves a dose-escalation and dose-expansion design, where patients receive either intravenous infusion or intraperitoneal injection of CAR-T cells. The study aims to determine the recommended dose and infusion schedule while monitoring pharmacokinetic characteristics and treatment outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a novel therapeutic option for patients with advanced CEA-positive solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapies.

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