Adoptive Therapy With TCR Gene-engineered T Cells to Treat Patients With MAGE-C2-positive Melanoma and Head and Neck Cancer (MC2TCR)

Ziekenhuizen

  • Erasmus Medisch Centrum Rotterdam

Doel van het onderzoek

Gecombineerde fase I/II studie.

Fase 1: vaststellen van de maximum tolereerbare dosering van MC2 TCR T cellen.
Fase II: de werkzaamheid (anti-tumor respons) van MC2TCR T cellen

status: open voor inclusie

Behandeling

Toediening van autologe MC2TCR T cellen

Belangrijkste in/exclusiecriteria

Belangrijkste inclusiecriteria:

  1. Previously treated for unresectable or metastatic cutaneous, mucosal or uveal melanoma for whom no standard treatment is available (anymore).
     
  2. Measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1;
  3. At least one lesion, suitable for sequential mandatory tumor biopsies;
  4. ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks;
  5. Patients with melanoma must have had objective evidence of disease progression while on or after standard systemic therapy. The last dose of prior therapy (e.g. anti- PD-1, chemotherapy) must have been received more than 4 weeks prior to the start of study treatment. For melanoma patients who are treated with BRAF- and MEK inhibitors, an interval of 2 weeks between discontinuation of BRAF- and MEK inhibition and start of study treatment is sufficient;
  6. Patients must be HLA-A2*0201 positive*
  7. Primary tumor and/or metastasis (archival or fresh biopsy) is positive for MC2 (>5% of tumor cells) according to immunohistochemistry*;

*Deze criteria zullen gedurende de screening in het Erasmus MC onderzocht worden.

Belangrijkste exclusiecriteria:

  1. Presence of brain or leptomeningal metastasis. Note: subjects with symptomatic brain lesions who have been definitively treated with stereotactic radiation therapy, surgery, or gamma knife therapy are eligible;
  2. Presence of malignant pleural effusion or ascites;
  3. Systemic chronic steroid therapy (>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) or any other immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to leukapheresis or 72 hours prior to infusion of the MC2 TCR T cells. Note: local steroids such as topical, inhaled, nasal and ophthalmic steroids are allowed;
  4. Active, known or suspected autoimmune disease or a documented history of autoimmune disease. Note: subjects with vitiligo, controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus on stable insulin dose, residual autoimmune-related hypothyroidism only requiring hormone replacement or psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment are permitted;
  5. AEs of previous treatment. Toxicities associated with prior systemic and non- systemic treatment must have recovered to a grade 1 or less. Patients may have undergone minor surgical procedures or palliative radiotherapy (for non-target lesions) within the past 4 weeks, as long as all toxicities have recovered to grade 1 or less;
  6. Malignant disease, other than being treated in this study. Exceptions to this exclusion include the following: malignancies that were treated curatively and have not recurred within 2 years prior to start of study treatment, completely resected basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers and any completely resected carcinoma in situ.
