Official title NY-ESO-1-redirected T Cells in Patients With Advanced Melanoma and Sarcoma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06889766
What this study is testing
What is NY-ESO-1 TCR redirected autologous T cell product?
NY-ESO-1 TCR redirected autologous T cell product is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for advanced melanoma.
Also referred to as LauT-1.
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
- A single center, dose escalaion, Phase I clinical trial to demonstrate safety and efficacy of LauT-1, autologous "New York Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma-1 T-Cell Receptor (NY-ESO-1 TCR)-directed T cells in combination with non-myeloablative (NMA) lymphodepleting chemotherapy and low dose irradiation (LDI) in patients with NY-ESO-1 positive sarcoma and melanoma.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
