Brief Summary

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

To investigate the safety and efficacy of intraperitoneal infusion of EpCAM CAR-T cell in advanced gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis by a prospective nonrandomized controlled trial.

Detailed Description

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

Chimeric antigen receptor modified T (CAR-T) cells have the capability in targeting and recognizing tumor antigen, and can specifically recognize, bind and kill tumor cells with positive antigen. Through local drug delivery, CAR-T cells have successfully achieved remarkable effect to treat solid tumors. Gastric cancer is one of the most frequent malignant tumors with high mortality, especially in China. Peritoneal metastasis is one of the common routes of metastasis. Once peritoneal metastasis occurred, patients should be categorized as clinical pathological stage IV with extremely poor prognosis, and the effect of routine treatments would be unsatisfactory. Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is highly expressed in gastric cancer cells and closely associated with the poor prognosis of patients. In our previous pre-clinical research researches, the investigators have obtained CAR-T cells targeting EpCAM (EpCAM CAR-T), and finished the preparations of cells which could be used in clinical practice. Based on our previous works, the investigators aim to investigate the safety and efficacy of peritoneal infusion of EpCAM CAR-T cell in advanced gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis by a prospective nonrandomized controlled trial. The results of this clinical trial are expected to provide the new treatment strategy for gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis.
