Clinical trials are an important way to improve treatment for people with cancer. While most are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time that clinical trials are available and recruiting may change quickly. If you would like to get involved in a clinical trial, speak to your treatment team or the health service where the clinical trial is being undertaken, to confirm it is open and appropriate for you. For cancer information and support, call Cancer Council's experienced cancer nurses on 13 11 20 Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Trial Overview Read MoreRead more

This phase I study is testing a new cancer treatment that targets the tumour marker Lewis Y ('Lewis Y Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell Therapy') in combination with a commonly used immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) in people with Lewis Y-expressing solid cancers.
 

This trial is treating patients with Lewis-Y expressing solid cancers.

This is a systemic therapy trial.

You may be able to join this trial if:

  • Your cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.
  • Your cancer has spread to other parts of the body.

You may be excluded from this trial if:

  • You have a certain disease or psychological condition.
  • You have been diagnosed with a prior or secondary type of cancer.
  • You have had certain treatments, surgical procedures or drugs.

Clinical trials have complex eligibility criteria - talk to your doctor about your interest in this trial.

Summary

All eligible participants will receive treatment with Lewis Y Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy and nivolumab. Prior to treatment, participants will have blood collected to generate the T-cells required for treatment. Participants will then follow a chemotherapy regimen designed to reduce the number of the body's T-cells so that the newly generated T-cells can be administered. This will involve intravenous (IV) infusions of the drugs fludarabine and cyclophosphamide once per day for 3 consecutive days in the week prior to T-cell therapy. People enrolled in this study will be part of one of two groups: Dose Escalation or Dose Expansion. In the Dose Escalation phase, different dose levels of the cell therapy will be tested. Each participant will receive one dose only by IV infusion. The doses tested will be increased or decreased for additional participants enrolled until a safe dose is determined. This safe dose will then be used for the Dose Expansion phase. In Dose Expansion, participants may receive up to two doses of cells infused one hour apart by IV infusion. Nivolumab will be administered to all participants by IV infusion on the day prior to T-cell therapy, and on days 14, 28 and 42 after T-cell therapy.
