About this trial
The goal of this first-in-human, single-center, prospective, open-label, phase 1/2 trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the interferon alpha expressing mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC-IFNα) combined with or without immunochemotherapy in patients with locally advanced/metastatic solid tumors. The main questions aimed to answer are 1) to evaluate the safety and feasibility of MSC-IFNα in the treatment of locally advanced/metastatic solid tumors;2) to evaluate the anti-tumor effects of the MSC-IFNα combined with or without immunochemotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced/metastatic solid tumors; 3) to evaluate the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of MSC-IFNα and related immune effector cells.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age from 18 to 75 years with estimated life expectancy >3 months.
Histopathological confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors including, but not limited to, lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and sarcomas.
Failed to at least first-line and second-line treatments or initially diagnosed locally advanced/metastatic solid tumors that have no National Comprehensive Cancer Network(NCCN) guideline-recommended therapy.
Have at least one measurable target lesion.
Disqualifiers
Active, known, or suspected autoimmune diseases.
Known brain metastases or active central nervous system (CNS). Subjects with CNS metastases who were treated with radiotherapy for at least 3 months prior to enrollment, have no central nervous symptoms, and are off corticosteroids, are eligible for enrollment, but require a brain MRI screening.
Subjects are being treated with either corticosteroid (>10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of enrollment.
History of psychiatric disorders including depression, suicidality, and mania.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of treatment related adverse events(TRAE)
Treatment related adverse events (TRAE) are defined as any medical events since the initiation of MSC-IFNα therapy. All TRAEs will be recorded and graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE V5.0)
Secondary outcomes
Objective response rate (ORR) of MSC-IFNα combined with or without immunochemotherapy
Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of patients with a complete response or partial response to MSC-IFNα treatment according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) or immune RECIST (iRECIST)
Progression free survival (PFS) of MSC-IFNα combined with or without immunochemotherapy
Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from enrollment of the study to disease progression or death from any cause.
Duration of response(DOR) of MSC-IFNα combined with or without immunochemotherapy
Duration of response(DOR) is defined as the length of time that a tumor continues to respond to treatment without the cancer growing or spreading
Overall survival (OS) of MSC-IFNα combined with or without immunochemotherapy
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from treatment to death, regardless of disease recurrence
Other outcomes
Allograft MSC-IFNa cells in peripheral blood and in tumor microenvironments.
Engineered MSC-IFNa will be periodically monitored by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)
Serum interferon-α level after infusion of MSC-IFNα
Serum interferon-α level will be dynamically monitored by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
Serum interferon-β level after infusion of MSC-IFNα
Serum interferon-β level will be dynamically monitored by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
Serum interleukin-2 level after infusion of MSC-IFNα
Serum interleukin-2 level will be dynamically monitored by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
