EVEREST-2 Trial Summary

This trial is testing A2B694 CAR T-cells to see if they can safely and effectively fight solid tumors such as colorectal, pancreatic, lung, ovarian and mesothelioma cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with certain advanced solid tumors like colorectal, lung, pancreatic, ovarian cancer or mesothelioma. These cancers must express a protein called MSLN and lack HLA-A*02 due to mutation. Participants need measurable disease over 1 cm by CT scan, good organ function, an ECOG status of 0-1 (fully active to restricted in physically strenuous activity), and a life expectancy over 3 months.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests A2B694 CAR T-cell therapy after patients undergo preconditioning lymphodepletion. Phase 1 determines the safe dosage while Phase 2 checks if this dose effectively targets tumor cells without harming healthy ones. Patients previously enrolled in BASECAMP-1 are given A2B694 at the determined safe dose.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune reactions leading to inflammation in various organs (like lungs), infusion-related reactions from the CAR T-cells themselves such as fever or chills, fatigue from treatment-induced anemia or other blood cell changes, and increased risk of infections.
