Study Summary

This trial is testing the safety of increasing doses of a type of immune cell therapy called CAR-T cells in patients with a specific type of breast cancer that has come back or not responded to treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that has returned or hasn't responded to treatment. Participants must meet certain health standards, but specific inclusion and exclusion criteria are not provided.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety of increasing doses of a new therapy called iC9-CAR.B7-H3 T Cell Therapy in combination with two chemotherapy drugs, cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, in patients with TNBC.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to CAR-T cell therapy such as fever, fatigue, headache, and immune system complications. Chemotherapy can cause nausea, hair loss, mouth sores, and increased infection risk.

Group I: iC9-CAR.B7-H3 T cellsExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Specimen will be collected to prepare the iC9-CAR.B7-H3 T cells. Disease-fighting T cells will be isolated and modified to prepare the iC9-CAR.B7-H3 T cells. In part 2, the iC9-CAR.B7-H3 T cells are given by infusion after completion of lymphodepletion chemotherapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Has the iC9-CAR.B7-H3 T cell therapy received approval from the FDA?

"Our team at Power has evaluated the safety of iC9-CAR.B7-H3 T cells to be a 1 on our internal scale. This rating is based on the fact that this trial is currently in Phase 1, indicating that there is limited available data supporting both safety and effectiveness."

Answered by AI

Are there any ongoing opportunities for individuals to enroll in this active clinical trial?

"Information from clinicaltrials.gov shows that this particular research study is not actively seeking volunteers. While the trial was first listed on May 1, 2024, the most recent update occurred on March 28, 2024. Despite its current inactivity with regards to recruitment, it is noteworthy that there are currently a substantial number of 2785 alternative clinical trials actively seeking participants."

Answered by AI

What are the anticipated results that researchers hope to achieve through conducting this study?

"The principal objective of this research, to be evaluated within an up to 8-week period post Biological/Vaccine infusion, is Toxicity assessment via NCI-CTCAE criteria. Secondary measures encompass determining The recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) CRS Grading through a modified 3+3 dose escalation method and iC9-CAR.B7-H3 T cell tolerability using ASTCT Consensus CRS Grading Criteria., Progression Free Survival (PFS) gauged from the onset of lymphodepletion chemotherapy before iC9-CAR.B7-H3 T cell administration until disease progression or demise per REC"
