New treatment option for Peritoneal Metastases From Colorectal Cancer
Official title CEA CAR-T Therapy After Cytoreduction in Colorectal Cancer Patients With Peritoneal Metastases
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07247396
What this study is testing
What is CEA-targeted CAR-T cells?
CEA-targeted CAR-T cells is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer.
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 single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CEA-targeted CAR-T cells and to obtain their pharmacokinetic profile in patients with advanced colorectal cancer and peritoneal metastases after cytoreductive surgery; the recommended dose will then be derived from these data.
- 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.
