Summary

This trial is testing a new type of cancer treatment involving genetically modified immune cells.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced stage high grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has returned after treatment. Participants must have measurable disease and express a specific protein on their tumors. They should be in good physical condition with proper organ function and not have active infections or other cancers.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests MOv19-BBz CAR T cells given through the abdomen to see if they're safe and work against ovarian-type cancers expressing a certain protein. Some patients may also receive chemotherapy drugs cyclophosphamide + fludarabine before the CAR T cells to prepare their bodies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to immune system activation such as fever, fatigue, changes in blood pressure, difficulty breathing, and organ inflammation. Chemotherapy can cause nausea, hair loss, mouth sores, low blood cell counts increasing infection risk.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort-1: without chemo;only if dose de-escalation requiredExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Cohort -1: (n= 3 to 6 subjects): Single Infusion of 1-3x106 /m2 lentivirally transduced MOv19-BBz CAR T cells on day 0 without lymphodepleting chemotherapy. Up to 6 subjects will be infused in Cohort -1 with ≤ 1 DLT/6 subjects to establish the MTD.
Group II: Cohort 3: MOv19-BBz CAR T cells after chemoExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Cohort 3: (n=3 to 6 subjects): Single infusion of 1-3x108 lentivirally transduced MOv19-BBz CAR T cells on day 0 beginning 3 days (+/- 1 day) after lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide + fludarabine.
Group III: Cohort 2: MOv19-BBz CAR T cells after chemoExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Cohort 2: (n= 3 to 6 subjects): Single infusion of 1-3x107 /m2 lentivirally transduced MOv19-BBz CAR T cells on day 0 beginning 3 days (+/- 1 day) after lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide + fludarabine.
Group IV: Cohort 1: MOv19-BBz CAR T cells without chemoExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Cohort 1: (n= 3 to 6 subjects): Single infusion of 1-3x107 /m2 lentivirally transduced MOv19-BBz CAR T cells on day 0 without lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
