A Clinical Trial of CEA Targeting CAR-T for CEA Positive Advanced Lung Cancer
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
Lung cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world, of which 80%-85% are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Most patients with NSCLC are at the advanced stage of diagnosis and have a poor prognosis. The 5-year survival rate of stage III patients is about 15%, the 5-year survival rate of stage IV patients is less than 5%, and the median survival time is only 7 months. CEACAM5 (CEA), also known as CD66e, is a classic tumor marker that has been used as a marker for many types of tumors for 50 years. It is mainly expressed in lung cancer, esophageal cancer, bile duct cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer and other tumor types. In previous CAR-T-related clinical trials targeting CEA, the research team found that CAR-T cell preparations had a certain killing effect on CEA positive tumor cells. At the same time, CAR-T cell preparations cannot be sustained for a long time in the body, which is also a key factor restricting the anti-tumor effect of CAR-T cells in the body. To solve this problem, the killing ability and survival ability of CAR-T cell preparations on tumor cells in vitro and in vivo were improved by optimizing CAR structure and improving culture mode.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years old, male or female; 2. histologically or pathologically confirmed advanced, metastatic or recurrent lung cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer; 3. Progression or intolerance (including but not limited to surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, etc.) after receiving at least second-line standard therapy, patients with driver gene positive non-small cell lung cancer need to receive corresponding targeted therapy for disease progression or intolerance. Patients with driver negative non-small cell lung cancer or small cell lung cancer need to receive platinum-containing chemotherapy for disease progression or intolerance; 4. Immunohistochemical staining of tumor samples within 3 months confirmed CEA positive (clear membrane staining, positive rate ≥10%); If the immunohistochemical results of tumor samples are more than 3 months from the time of screening (clear membrane staining, positive
