Gene-Modified T Cells With or Without Decitabine in Treating Patients With Advanced Malignancies Expressing NY-ESO-1
United States15 participantsStarted 2017-07-14
Plain-language summary
This phase I/IIa trial studies the side effects and best dose of gene-modified T cells when given with or without decitabine, and to see how well they work in treating patients with malignancies expressing cancer-testis antigens 1 (NY-ESO-1) gene that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). A T cell is a type of immune cell that can recognize and kill abnormal cells of the body. Placing a modified gene for NY-ESO-1 into the patients' T cells in the laboratory and then giving them back to the patient may help the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells that express NY-ESO-1. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving gene-modified T cells with or without decitabine works better in treating patients with malignancies expressing NY-ESO-1.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients with solid tumors as described below:
* Inoperable or metastatic (advanced) melanoma:
* Has received, is intolerant, or refused a CTLA-4 inhibitor (ipilimumab) or a PD-1 inhibitor (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) as monotherapy and/or a combination of ipilimumab and nivolumab
* Has received or is intolerant of a BRAF inhibitor or the combination of BRAF and MEK inhibitors for BRAFv600 mutant melanoma and a PD-1 inhibitor as monotherapy or in combination
* Inoperable or metastatic (advanced) ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube carcinoma:
* Has received platinum containing chemotherapy and has platinum refractory or resistant disease that has progressed on second line therapy
* If platinum sensitive disease, should have received \>= 2 lines of chemotherapy
* May have received PARP inhibitors, bevacizumab or other targeted VEGF inhibitor therapy
* Inoperable or metastatic (advanced) synovial sarcoma:
* Should have received and progressed on \>= two lines of systemic therapy
* Subjects with other histologies:
* Must have previously received two lines of systemic standard care (or effective salvage chemotherapy regimens) for metastatic disease, if known to be effective for that disease, and have been deemed either non-responders (progressive disease) or have recurred
* For cohorts 1, 2 and 3 only: Patient's tumor must be positive by histological or molecular assay for NY-ESO-1, according to the screenin…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
