MSK-TCR5 for the Treatment of Advanced, Unresectable or Metastatic Solid Tumors

Trial Status: active

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of MSK-TCR5 for the treatment of solid tumors that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced), that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). MSK-TCR5 is a cellular therapy that is made from a patients own white blood cells (called T cells). T cells are immune system cells that protect the body from infections, cancer, and other possible harms. Some types of cancer can block T cells from attacking the tumor cells. MSK-TCR5 is made by collecting some of the patients T cells and modifying them genetically by using a virus, which will help the T cells recognize and destroy the tumor cells. Chemotherapy, with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, is given to prepare the body to receive the MSK-TCR5 treatment. Interleukin-2 is also given to help boost the immune system after MSK-TCR5 treatment. Giving MSK-TCR5 may be safe and tolerable in treating patients with advanced, unresectable or metastatic solid tumors.
