Study Overview

Phase I/II Study of Autologous T Cells to Express T-Cell Receptors (TCRs) in Subjects With Solid Tumors

A Phase I/II study of autologous T cells engineered using the Sleeping Beauty transposon/transposase system to express TCR(s) reactive against neoantigens in subjects with relapsed/refractory solid tumors

A Phase I/II study of autologous T cells engineered using the Sleeping Beauty transposon/transposase system to express TCR(s) reactive against neoantigens in subjects with relapsed/refractory solid tumors. An HLA Typing and Tumor Neoantigen Mutation Testing Protocol (Protocol # TCR001-002) has been used to identify patients for potential enrollment into this Study Protocol. Subjects who have completed the HLA Typing and Tumor Neoantigen Mutation Testing Protocol, i.e., subjects for whom a TCR matching the subject's somatic mutation(s) and HLA type restriction combination is available in Alaunos' TCR library will be eligible for enrollment on this study. The Phase I part of this study is a prospective, open-label, dose-escalation study of TCR-T cell drug product in patients with progressive or recurrent solid tumors who have failed standard therapy. The Phase II part is a prospective, open-label, single dose portion of the study. The Phase II part will begin once the MTD/RP2D in the Phase I part has been determined. Subjects with one of the following histologically confirmed solid tumors will be included: * Cohort 1: Gynecologic cancer (e.g., ovarian, endometrial) * Cohort 2: Colorectal cancer * Cohort 3: Pancreatic cancer * Cohort 4: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); NSCLC includes but is not limited to squamous cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma or adenocarcinomas * Cohort 5: Cholangiocarcinoma Subject must have a tumor mutation and HLA typing combination that matches to at least one of the following TCRs in the Alaunos' library (mutation & HLA type): * KRAS G12D & HLA-A*11:01 * KRAS G12D & HLA-C*08:02 * KRAS G12V & HLA-A*11:01 * KRAS G12V & HLA-C*01:02 * TP53 R175H & HLA-A*02:01 * TP53 R175H & HLA-DRB1*13:01 * TP53 R248W & HLA-A*68:01 * TP53 Y220C & HLA-A*02:01 * TP53 Y220C & HLA-DRB3*02:02 * EGFR E746-A750del & HLA-DPA1*02:01, DPB1*01:01

Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Phase I: To define the incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of T-Cell Receptor T cellsArm A: To define the incidence of DLT and the MTD of TCR-T cell drug product delivered as a single administration.Approximately one month
Phase I: To define the incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of T-Cell Receptor T cellsArm B: To determine the MTD/MAD/RP2D of TCR-T cell drug product delivered as a single administration followed by IL-2 administration.Approximately one month
Phase II: Objective response rate (ORR) evaluated by Investigator assessments using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1).Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of FAS subjects achieving a confirmed PR or CR according to RECIST v1.1 during study.Up to 2 years
Phase II: Incidence of Adverse Events as characterized by type, frequency, severity (NCI CTCAE Version 5.0), timing, seriousness, and relationship to study therapy.Treatment-emergent AEs through 28 days after last protocol therapy will be summarized by Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) Version 13.1 (or higher) System Organ Class and preferred term. The incidences and percentages of participants experiencing each AE preferred term will be summarized with descriptive statistics. AEs will also be summarized by NCI CTCAE, Version 5.0, by grade and by causality (attribution to study treatment).Up to 2 years
