MUC1-Activated T Cells for the Treatment of Relapsed and Resistant Ovarian Cancer
United States12 participantsStarted 2024-09-20
Plain-language summary
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose of MUC1-activated T cells in treating patients with ovarian cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that remains despite treatment (resistant). T cells are infection fighting blood cells that can kill tumor cells. The T cells given in this study will come from the patient and are made in a laboratory to recognize MUC1, a protein on the surface of tumor cells that plays a key role in tumor cell growth. These MUC1-activated T cells may help the body's immune system identify and kill MUC1 expressing ovarian tumor cells.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* PRE-REGISTRATION: Age ≥ 18 years
* PRE-REGISTRATION: Diagnosis or history of epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, carcinosarcoma, or primary peritoneal cancer
* PRE-REGISTRATION: Patients must have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria on study entry, which must include at least 1 lesion that has a single diameter of ≥ 1 cm measured by CT or MRI or the CT portion of the PET/CT
* Skin lesions can be used if the area is ≥ 1cm in at least one diameter and measured with a ruler
* PRE-REGISTRATION: Relapsed or refractory ovarian cancer previously treated with or intolerant to at least one prior line of therapy with platinum chemotherapy and be relapsed or have tumor evaluable for response if in first line setting resistant or ineligible to platinum. Patients with BRCA1/2 mutations must have received prior treatment with a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor to be eligible. Platinum-resistance is defined as any of the following occurring \< 183 days after the last dose of platinum-based chemotherapy:
* Development of measurable disease (per RECIST 1.1)
* Progression of radiographic disease (per RECIST 1.1)
* Increase in CA-125 level to ≥ 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (if within normal limits \[WNL\] at the completion of platinum-based chemotherapy)
* Increase in CA-125 level to ≥ 2 x nadir (if nadir \> ULN)
* If CA-125 is used to determine the date of progression then it must be confirme…
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?

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?
