Brief Summary

The investigational product used in this study, UCLH801 cells, is a CAR-T cell therapy specifically targeting CDH17. The proposed indication includes CDH17-positive advanced solid tumors, such as but ...

Detailed Description

The trial progresses through sequential Phase Ia (dose-finding) and Phase Ib (dose-expansion) stages. Phase Ia cessation triggers include either confirmation of Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) or inv...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Histopathologically confirmed malignant solid tumors, including but not limited to colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, and biliary tract tumors.
  • Patients must have failed standard treatments, be intolerant to standard treatments, or lack effective treatment options.
  • At least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST v1.1 criteria.
  • Tumor tissue must be available either from prior tumor biopsy or by providing new tumor specimens.
  • Tumor specimens must be confirmed as CDH17-positive by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or immunocytochemistry (ICC) staining.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1.
  • Expected survival time ≥ 3 months.
  • Appropriate organ function: hematological: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L; Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) ≥ 0.5 × 10⁹/L. Hemoglobin (HGB) ≥ 80 g/L; Platelet count (PLT) ≥ 75 × 10⁹/L.

Cardiac Function: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% (confirmed by echocardiography). Pulmonary Function: resting oxygen saturation (SpO₂) \> 92% without supplemental oxygen.
  • Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test.
  • Female participants of childbearing potential or male participants with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception during the study and for 1 year after the final cell infusion.
  • Willingness to sign the informed consent form, demonstrating understanding of the study and agreement to comply with study procedures.

Exclusion

  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) with peripheral HBV DNA levels above the lower limit of detection.
  • Positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody with peripheral HCV RNA levels above the lower limit of detection.
  • Positive HIV antibody.

  • Prior allogeneic tissue or organ transplant (including bone marrow, stem cell, liver, kidney, etc.), except for transplants not requiring immunosuppression (e.g., corneal or hair transplantation).
  • Patients who have previously received CDH17 CAR-T therapy, except those who received CAR-T infusion within this study.
  • Underwent major surgery within 4 weeks prior to signing informed consent and has not fully recovered, or has a history of serious unresolved trauma.
