NCT03198546

Brief Summary

The third/fourth generation of CAR-T cells that target GPC3 (GPC3-CART cell) and/or soluble TGFβ (GPC3/TGFβ-CART )have been constructed and their anti-HCC function has been verified by multiple in vitro and in vivo studies. Clinical studies will be performed to test the anti-cancer function by the GPC3/TGFβ-CAR-T cells in human HCC patients with GPC3 expression. In this phase I study, the safety, tolerance, and preliminary efficacy of the GPC3/TGFβ-CAR-T cell immunotherapy on human will firstly be tested.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Patients with Dose Limiting Toxicity

    A dose limiting toxicity is defined as any toxicity that is considered to be primarily related to the GPC3-T2-CAR T cells, which is irreversible, or life threatening or hematologic or non-hematologic Grade 3-5.

    three months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Percent of Patients with best response as either complete remission or partial remission.

    three months

  • Median CAR-T cell persistence

    Five years

Study Arms (1)

CAR-T cell therapy group

OTHER

Appropriate patients who could benefit from the GPC3 and TGFβ targeting CAR-T cell therapy against HCC are chosen to be the CAR-T cell therapy group.

Biological: GPC3 and/or TGFβ targeting CAR-T cells

Interventions

Engineering GPC3 or/and TGFβ targeting CAR combined with/or without IL7/CCL19 and/or scfv against PD1/CTLA4/Tigit secreting vector into T cells with knockdown of PD1/HPK1, which are isolated from patients with advanced HCC, and then transfusing them back the patients.
