Study Summary

TCRT-ESO-A2 is an autologous cell therapy comprised of a subject's T cells stimulated ex vivo and transduced with a lentiviral vector encoding an affinity enhanced TCR targeting tumor-associated antigen NY-ESO-1. This study will investigate the safety, tolerability, activity, and pharmacokinetics/ pharmacodynamics of TCRT-ESO-A2 infusion. A maximum tolerated dose study of TCRT-ESO-A2 in subjects with advanced malignancies expressing NY-ESO-1 is considered to be an acceptable risk. Once safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic data are available, the activity of TCRT-ESO-A2 in NY-ESO-1-positive tumors may be explored further.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 3: TCRT-ESO-A2 : 3.0 × 1010 TCRT-ESO-A2 cells ±30%Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will be evaluated for DLTs up to 28 days post-TCRT-ESO-A2 infusion. Enrollment into a dose level will be suspended if two of no more than six subjects at a dose level experience dose-limiting toxicity. Prior to increasing the dose, a cohort management meeting will be held after the final enrolled subject has been followed for up to28 days. The decision to increase to the next dose level will be a joint decision of the clinical site Investigators and Sponsor. At each cohort, there will be at least 7 days between infusion of each subject in the cohort.
Group II: Cohort 2: TCRT-ESO-A2: 1.0 × 1010 TCRT-ESO-A2 cells ±30%Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will be evaluated for DLTs up to 28 days post-TCRT-ESO-A2 infusion. Enrollment into a dose level will be suspended if two of no more than six subjects at a dose level experience dose-limiting toxicity. Prior to increasing the dose, a cohort management meeting will be held after the final enrolled subject has been followed for up to28 days. The decision to increase to the next dose level will be a joint decision of the clinical site Investigators and Sponsor. At each cohort, there will be at least 7 days between infusion of each subject in the cohort. The decision to increase to the next dose level will be a joint decision of the clinical site Investigators and Sponsor.
