About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for HER-2 Gene Amplification focused on measuring HER2, CAR-T, breast cancer, solid tumors, gastric cancer

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Documented evidence of HER2 amplification/overexpression by local testing.
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of a locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2+ solid tumor malignancy for which standard treatment is no longer effective, does not exist, or subject is ineligible.
  • Subjects with a solid tumor malignancy for which HER2-targeted therapy is approved as a standard treatment (e.g., breast, gastric cancers) must have received prior treatment with approved HER2-directed therapy.
  • Measurable disease (at least one target lesion) per RECIST v1.1.
  • Life expectancy > 12 weeks.
  • ECOG 0-1.
  • Adequate organ function.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Symptomatic, untreated, or actively progressing central nervous system metastases.
  • Prior CAR T cell or other genetically-modified T cell therapy.
  • Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac disease.
  • Symptomatic intrinsic lung disease or those with extensive tumor involvement of the lungs.
  • Severe intercurrent infection.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Known HIV positivity.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

HER2-targeted dual-switch CAR-T cells

Arm Description

Subjects will receive one dose of BPX-603 on Day 1, followed by rimiducid IV infusion weekly (as tolerated) starting on Day 8 and continued until treatment discontinuation criteria are met.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Proportion of subjects experiencing Dose Limiting Toxicities at increasing doses of BPX-603
Dose limiting toxicities are defined as BPX-603-related adverse events.
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose for expansion (RDE)
Identify the optimal dose of BPX-603 for Phase 2.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Persistence of HER2-CAR T cells (cell counts)
The persistence over time of BPX-603 CAR T cells in the peripheral blood as determined by flow cytometry (% CAR+ cells).
Expansion of HER2-CAR T cells (vector copy number)
The expansion over time of BPX-603 CAR T cells in the peripheral blood as determined by qPCR (copies/ug gDNA).
Antitumor activity of BPX-603
Overall response rate

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter, non-randomized study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of HER2-specific dual-switch CAR-T cells, BPX-603, administered with rimiducid to subjects with previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors which are HER2 amplified/overexpressed.
Detailed Description
Phase 1: Cell dose escalation to identify the maximum dose of BPX-603 administered without or with rimiducid. The first subject in each dose cohort will receive BPX-603 alone (without rimiducid) in order to assess safety of the CAR-T monotherapy. Phase 2: Indication-specific dose expansion to assess the safety, pharmacodynamics (including BPX-603 persistence and response to temsirolimus as applicable), and clinical activity at the recommended dose for expansion (RDE) identified in Phase 1 in various HER2+ solid tumors. During Phase 1 or 2, temsirolimus (single IV dose at 25 mg) may be administered following BPX-603 infusion in response to treatment-emergent toxicity in order to activate the iRC9 safety switch.
