The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and activity of BPX-701 in
participants with relapsed AML, previously treated MDS, or metastatic uveal melanoma
expressing high levels of PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma (PRAME).
Participants' T cells are modified to recognize and target the PRAME tumor marker on
cancer cells.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT02743611.
The goal of this study is to characterize the safety, feasibility, and clinical activity
of BPX-701, a genetically modified autologous T cell product incorporating an
HLA-A2-restricted PRAME-directed TCR and a rimiducid-inducible safety switch, when
administered to subjects with relapsed AML, previously treated MDS, or metastatic uveal
melanoma.
The study will be comprised of multiple parts:
Part 1 (Phase 1): Cell dose escalation to identify the maximum dose of BPX-701 T cells
(escalating doses from 1.25 x 10E6 cells/kg up to 5.0 x 10E6 cells/kg to be explored)
Parts 2 and 3 (Phase 2): Dose expansion to assess the safety, pharmacodynamics (including
BPX-701 T cell persistence and response to rimiducid as applicable), and clinical
activity at the recommended dose identified in Part 1 During Parts 1, 2, or 3, rimiducid
may be administered following BPX-701 T cell infusion in response to uncontrollable,
treatment-emergent toxicity
