T Cells Armed With Chimeric Antigen Receptor Recognizing EpCAM for Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Study Summary

This study is for patients that have nasopharyngeal carcinoma, breast cancer, gastric cancer and other solid tumors. As epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a well characterized molecule that is closely with poor prognosis and tumor metastasis and invasion. Many therapies targeting EpCAM have shown benefits for cancer patients. This study is to determine the safety of the engineered T cells armed with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T) recognizing EpCAM. At the same time, efficacy is to be evaluated by the criteria of RECIST. The EpCAM CAR-T were produced by lentiviral transduction of the novel 2nd generation of CAR genes. Different cohorts of patients receive EpCAM CAR-T with a dose-escalating manner. This study is to find the largest dose of EpCAM CAR-T, to learn what the adverse effects are and to find out whether this experimental intervention might help patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, breast cancer and other EpCAM positive solid tumors.
