GB-5267 for the Treatment Platinum-Resistant Ovarian, Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer

Trial Status: active

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of GB-5267 for the treatment of ovarian, peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer that is platinum-resistant. GB-5267 is a type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) t-cell therapy. It is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient’s blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient’s cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. In ovarian cancer (as well as other types of cancer) the epithelial cells produce a greater amount of a protein called MUC16 than what is present in normal cells. This “overexpression” can contribute to uncontrolled cell growth and cancer. GB-5267 is designed to target and attack cells with the MUC16 protein. Giving GB-5267 may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with ovarian, peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer that is platinum-resistant.
