LeYPh1-02: This phase I trial is assessing a new systemic therapy (LeY CAR-T cell therapy) in patients with solid cancers that express the LeY geneA phase I study investigating the safety and tolerability of an infusion of T lymphocytes transduced with an anti-Lewis Y (LeY) chimeric receptor gene in patients with LeY expressing solid tumours

Exclusion

Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:

1. Patients with known active central nervous system (CNS) involvement by malignancy. Patients with previous treated and/or neurologically stable disease will be eligible.
2. Prior chimeric antigen receptor T (CART) cell therapy
3. Patient has been given chemotherapy and/or G-CSF in the last 4 weeks or is planned to receive such therapy prior to apheresis of PBMC. Patients can only receive cytotoxic drugs as per the schedule of treatment for this protocol.
4. Patient has had immunosuppressive therapy within 4 weeks of apheresis. Therapeutic doses of steroids (defined as > 20 mg/day of Prednisolone (or equivalent) must be able to be stopped > 7 days prior to leukapheresis and 72 hours prior to LeY CART cell infusion Physiologic doses of steroid (e.g. Prednisolone <10mg or equivalent), topical and inhaled steroids are permitted.
5. Patient who are eligible for potentially curative therapy
6. Uncontrolled active or latent Hepatitis B or active Hepatitis C or HIV
7. Patients with uncontrolled systemic fungal, bacterial, viral or other infection despite appropriate antibiotics.
8. History or presence of active clinically relevant CNS pathology such as epilepsy, aphasia, severe brain injury, dementia, Parkinson's disease, cerebellar disease or psychosis.
9. Radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to registration
10. Patient has an active haematologic malignancy (any lymphoma, leukaemia, multiple myeloma or myelodysplastic syndrome)
11. Patient has a history of significant pulmonary disease (including radiation pneumonitis) or known, biopsy proven autoimmune inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract.
12. Unstable angina or myocardial infarct within 6 months prior to screening.
13. Patient has known clinically significant autoimmune disease with positive serology for RHF (>20kU/L) or ANA (titre >1:40).
14. Women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) who are unwilling or unable to use an effective method of contraception to avoid pregnancy for the entire study period and for at least 12 months after completion of study treatment.
15. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
16. Men who are unwilling or unable to use an acceptable method of contraception for the entire study period and for at least 12 months after completion of study treatment if their sexual partners are WOCBP.
17. Patient has a serious uncontrolled medical disorder, psychological or social factors that which would impair the ability to receive protocol therapy and follow up.
