About this trial

This is an open-label, single-arm clinical study designed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of Targeted Activated DC combined with CAR-T therapy in patients with Advanced Solid Cancers.This combination therapy activates dendritic cells (DCs) to precisely target the tumor site, reshaping the tumor immune microenvironment, breaking down the immunosuppressive barrier, and allowing CAR-T cells to penetrate deeper into the tumor more efficiently, precisely and persistently killing cancer cells.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 75 years, regardless of gender;

Advanced solid tumors with clear pathological confirmation, including but not limited to gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, etc.; at least one measurable lesion meeting RECIST 1.1 criteria (according to RECIST 1.1, the longest diameter of a measurable lesion on spiral CT scan ≥ 10 mm, or the short diameter of a pathological lymph node ≥ 15 mm);

Tumor tissue positive for Claudin 18.2, GCC, TROP2, or PSMA targets by immunohistochemistry (IHC) (expression intensity ≥ 2+; percentage of positive cells ≥ 40%);

Meets the indications for PBMC collection and has no contraindications for cell collection;

Disqualifiers

Oncological emergencies requiring immediate intervention, such as malignant pericardial effusion or tamponade, superior vena cava syndrome, or spinal cord compression;

Documented major cardiovascular events within the past 6 months, such as myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, heart failure, severe arrhythmia, or prior angioplasty, stent implantation, or coronary artery bypass grafting;

Clinically significant QT interval prolongation (QTcF > 470 ms for women or QTcF > 450 ms for men);

Clinically significant bleeding tendency or coagulation disorders (e.g., hemophilia);

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Adverse Events (AEs)

To evaluate adverse events following infusion of targeted activated dendritic cells (DC) and CAR-T cells, with an assessment of the incidence and severity of treatment-related toxicities, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS), immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), hematological abnormalities, infections, autoimmune reactions, and secondary malignancies.

Time frame
2 years post cell infusion

Secondary outcomes

1

Objective Response Rate (ORR)

The percentage of participants who achieved Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) based on RECIST version 1.1

Time frame
2 years
2

Disease Control Rate (DCR)

The percentage of participants who achieved Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) or Stable disease (SD) based on RECIST version 1.1

Time frame
2 years
3

Progression-free survival (PFS)

PFS is defined as the time from the date of cell infusion until the date of tumor progression or death from any cause

Time frame
2 years
4

Changes in the Immune Microenvironment

Assess the changes in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) following combined therapy with targeted activated dendritic cells (DCs) and CAR-T cells. The analysis will focus on the composition, density, and functional status of key immune cell populations, including T cell subsets (e.g., CD4+, CD8+), B cells, DC subsets, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), and regulatory T cells (Tregs).

Time frame
1 month post cell infusion
