Title

A Phase 1, First in Human Study of Adenovirally Transduced Autologous Macrophages Engineered to Contain an Anti-HER2 Chimeric Antigen Receptor in Subjects with HER2 Overexpressing Solid Tumors

Principal Investigator

Richard Maziarz

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a study product called CT-0508.

The study product is made from monocyte cells, which are normally found in the blood and in many body tissues. Participants in this study will have monocyte cells collected, which will be transformed into macrophages. Macrophages are one type of immune cell that helps protect people from infections and also can help the immune system guard against cancer. However, once a cancer starts to grow and spread, the macrophages and other cells in the immune system may not be powerful enough to attack all the tumor cells. Researchers have found a way to put new genetic material (genes, or DNA) into macrophages which may help them to recognize a specific protein that is found in high levels on a cancer cell.

The study product is made to recognize the HER2 protein, which can be seen in high levels in some types of cancer.

One purpose of this study is to see if the study product can be made and then safely given back to participants with HER2-positive cancers. A second purpose is to see if the study product causes the tumors to shrink.
