Brief Summary
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose of MUC1-activated T cells in treating patients with ovarian cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that remains despite treatment (resistant). T cells are infection fighting blood cells that can kill tumor cells. The T cells given in this study will come from the patient and are made in a laboratory to recognize MUC1, a protein on the surface of tumor cells that plays a key role in tumor cell growth. These MUC1-activated T cells may help the body's immune system identify and kill MUC1 expressing ovarian tumor cells.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Dose-limiting toxicities (DLT)
Adverse events (AEs) will be defined per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 guidelines. DLT will be defined as an AE if at least possibly related to MUC1-activated T cells.
Up to 28 days after T cell infusion
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)
MTD is the highest dose of a drug or treatment that does not cause unacceptable side effects. MTD will be determined using the Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design.
Up to 28 days after T cell infusion
Objective response rate
Tumor response will be based on combined imaging (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors \[RECIST\] version \[v\] 1.1) and tumor markers (CA-125). Objective response rate will be defined as the proportion of patients with an overall best response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Objective response rate will be summarized by descriptive summary statistics. The proportion of patients who achieve an overall as well as specific type of response will be estimated along with corresponding 95% exact binomial confidence intervals.
Up to 2 years

Study Arms (1)
Treatment (MUC1-activated T cells, lymphodepletion)
EXPERIMENTALPatients undergo leukapheresis over 4 hours within 14 days after registration. Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 60 minutes on days -5 to -3 or bendamustine IV over 10 minutes on days -5 and -4 or -4 and -3. Patients receive MUC1-activated T cells IV over 10-60 minutes on day 0 or days 0 and 21. Patients also undergo ECHO or MUGA during screening, and blood sample collection throughout the trial. In addition, patients may undergo CT, MRI, or PET/CT as clinically indicated throughout the trial. Patients may also undergo collection of ascites on study and during follow up.
Interventions

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- PRE-REGISTRATION: Age ≥ 18 years
- PRE-REGISTRATION: Diagnosis or history of epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, carcinosarcoma, or primary peritoneal cancer
- PRE-REGISTRATION: Patients must have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria on study entry, which must include at least 1 lesion that has a single diameter of ≥ 1 cm measured by CT or MRI or the CT portion of the PET/CT
- Skin lesions can be used if the area is ≥ 1cm in at least one diameter and measured with a ruler
- PRE-REGISTRATION: Relapsed or refractory ovarian cancer previously treated with or intolerant to at least one prior line of therapy with platinum chemotherapy and be relapsed or have tumor evaluable for response if in first line setting resistant or ineligible to platinum. Patients with BRCA1/2 mutations must have received prior treatment with a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor to be eligible. Platinum-resistance is defined as any of the following occurring \< 183 days after the last dose of platinum-based chemotherapy:
- Development of measurable disease (per RECIST 1.1)
- Progression of radiographic disease (per RECIST 1.1)
- Increase in CA-125 level to ≥ 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (if within normal limits \[WNL\] at the completion of platinum-based chemotherapy)
- Increase in CA-125 level to ≥ 2 x nadir (if nadir \> ULN)
- If CA-125 is used to determine the date of progression then it must be confirmed by a second CA-125 value ≥ 7 days after the first level and concurrent with imaging changes. The date of the first qualifying CA-125 is used to compute the platinum-free interval
- PRE-REGISTRATION: Provide written informed consent
- PRE-REGISTRATION: Willingness to provide mandatory blood specimens and biopsy tissue for correlative research
- REGISTRATION: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0 or 1
- REGISTRATION: Histologically confirmed surgical diagnosis of epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, carcinosarcoma, or primary peritoneal cancer with measurable disease. NOTE: Histologic confirmation of the primary tumor is required. Eligible histologies include serous, endometrioid, clear cell, mucinous, transitional cell, undifferentiated, or mixed carcinoma
- REGISTRATION: MUC1 expression in ovarian cancer tumor cells verified by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) laboratory. Heterogeneous tumor expression of MUC1 is acceptable. MUC1 expression by staining score greater than 0 is deemed positive for this study
- +14 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Clinically unresolved central nervous system (CNS) metastases. NOTE: Patients with a prior history of brain metastases are allowed if focally treated, radiographically stable for \> 30 days, and not requiring steroid therapy for \> 14 days
- Prior treatment targeting MUC1
- Subjects with known plasma cell leukemia (PCL)
- Any of the following are excluded because this study involves an agent (CTX) that has known genotoxic, mutagenic and/or teratogenic effects:
- Pregnant persons
- Nursing persons
- Persons of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate birth control measures
- History of myocardial infarction ≤ 6 months prior to registration, and/or congestive heart failure requiring ongoing treatment such as medications and/or an implanted defibrillator to control life-threatening arrhythmias
- Failure to recover to grade 1 or baseline from acute, reversible effects of prior therapy regardless of interval since last treatment. EXCEPTION: Grade 2 peripheral (sensory) neuropathy that has been stable for at least 3 months since completion of prior treatment.
- Uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to:
- Inability to clear an ongoing or active infection
- Symptomatic congestive heart failure
- Unstable angina pectoris
- Uncontrolled psychiatric problems
- Inability to have a caregiver for active oversight during treatment period
- +8 more criteria
