Recruiting PHASE1 NSCLC (Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer)

New treatment option for NSCLC (Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer)

Official title A Study of CEA-Targeted CAR-T Therapy in Patients With CEA-Positive Advanced Solid Tumors

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07250386

What this study is testing

What is CEA-targeted CAR-T (Intravenous)?

CEA-targeted CAR-T (Intravenous) is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for nsclc (advanced non-small cell lung 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 study is a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalating + dose-expansion clinical study, aiming to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CEA-targeted CAR-T cell preparations, and to preliminarily observe the study drug in CEA-positive advanced malignant tumors. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of CAR-T cell preparations for the treatment of patients with CEA-positive advanced malignancies were obtained and the recommended dose and infusion schedule.
