Recruiting PHASE1 Bladder Cancer

New treatment option for Bladder Cancer

Official title Binary Oncolytic Adenovirus in Combination With HER2-Specific Autologous CAR VST, Advanced HER2 Positive Solid Tumors

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03740256

What this study is testing

What is CAdVEC?

CAdVEC is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for bladder cancer.

Also referred to as HER2-specificCAR- T.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This study is a first in human Phase 1 study that involves patients with a type of cancer called HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2) positive cancer. This study asks patients to volunteer to take part in a research study investigating the safety and efficacy of using special immune cells called HER2 chimeric antigen receptor specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (HER2 specific CAR T cells), in combination with intra-tumor injection of CAdVEC, an oncolytic adenovirus that is designed to help the immune system including HER2 specific CAR T cell react to the tumor.
