This study aims to determine how safe and effective a new immunotherapy is in people with metastatic colorectal cancerA Phase 1/2a, Multicenter, Open-Label, Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of CNA3103 (LGR5-targeted, Autologous CAR-T Cells) Administered to Adult Subjects With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Clinical summary

Summary

This study has two segments: Phase 1 (Dose Escalation) and Phase 2a (Dose Exapnsion).

In Phase 1 (Dose Escalation) participants will be enrolled to receive escalating doses of the investigational immunothreapy (called CNA3103) to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).

In Phase 2a (Dose Expansion) additional participants will be enrolled and treated with CNA3103 at the MTD/RP2D to further assess the safety and effectivenss of the drug.

CNA3103 will be administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion.
