Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the safety of PD-1 knockout engineered T cells in treating castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Blood samples will also be collected for research purposes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a dose-escalation study of ex-vivo knocked-out, expanded, and selected PD-1 knockout-T cells from autologous origin. Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups to determine the maximal tolerant dose. After the lower number of cycles are considered tolerant, an arm of the next higher number of cycles will be open to next patients. Biomarkers and immunological markers are collected and analyzed as well.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Test group

Peripheral blood lymphocytes will be collected and Programmed cell death protein 1(PDCD1) gene will be knocked out by CRISPR Cas9 in the laboratory (PD-1 Knockout T cells). The lymphocytes will be selected and expanded ex vivo and infused back into patients. Cyclophosphamide at 20mg/kg single dose will be administered 3 days i.v. before cell infusion. A total of 2 x 10\^7/kg PD-1 Knockout T cells will be infused in one cycle. Each cycle is divided into three administrations, with 20% infused in the first administration, 30% in the second, and the remaining 50% in the third.Interleukin-2 (IL-2) will be given in the following 5 days, 720000 international unit(IU)/Kg/ day (if tolerant). Patients will receive a total of 2, 3, 4 cycles of treatment.

PD-1 Knockout T Cells

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

PD-1 Knockout T Cells and PD-1 wild-type T Cells will be made by Cell Biotech Co., Ltd. 2x107/kg T cells will be used for test group and comparable group separately.

Cyclophosphamide

Intervention Type DRUG

Cyclophosphamide at 20mg/kg single dose will be administered 3 days i.v. before cell infusion.

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) will be given in the following 5 days, 720000 international unit(IU)/Kg/day (if tolerant).

IL-2

Intervention Type DRUG

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) will be given in the following 5 days after cell infusion, 720000 international unit(IU)/Kg/ day (if tolerant).

Comparable group

Peripheral blood lymphocytes will be collected and Programmed cell death protein 1(PDCD1) gene will not be knocked out by CRISPR Cas9 in the laboratory (PD-1 Wild-type T cells). The lymphocytes will be selected and expanded ex vivo and infused back into patients. Cyclophosphamide at 20mg/kg single dose will be administered 3 days i.v. before cell infusion. A total of 2 x 10\^7/kg PD-1 wild-type T cells will be infused in one cycle. Each cycle is divided into three administrations, with 20% infused in the first administration, 30% in the second, and the remaining 50% in the third. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) will be given in the following 5 days, 720000 international unit(IU)/Kg/day (if tolerant).

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) will be given in the following 5 days, 720000 international unit(IU)/Kg/day (if tolerant).

IL-2

Intervention Type DRUG
