Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Advanced Solid Tumors | Biological: Autologous CD8+ T-cells, transduced with MAGE-A1 directed TCR | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 48 participants |
Allocation: | N/A |
Intervention Model: | Sequential Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | The trial will consist of a Phase 1 Part and a Phase 2 Part. After Phase 1 Part (dose-escalation) a Phase 2 Part (expansion) will follow. In total, up to 48 patients may receive TK-8001 to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of TK-8001 and to confirm the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase 1/2, First-in-Human, Open-Label, Two Part Clinical Trial of TK-8001 (MAGE-A1--Directed TCR Transduced Autologous CD8+ T-cells) in Patients With HLA-A*02:01 Genotype and Advanced Stage/Metastatic, MAGE-A1+ Solid Tumors That Either Have No Further Approved Therapeutic Alternative(s) or Are in a Non-Curable State and Have Received a Minimum of Two Lines of Systemic Therapy |
Estimated Study Start Date : | June 2022 |

- Number of participants with treatment-emergent Adverse Events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 (Part 1 of trial) [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years after TK-8001 treatment (52 weeks core follow-up, 14 years long-term follow up) ]Incidence and grade of treatment emergent adverse events and serious adverse events number and type of dose-limiting toxicities
- Antitumoral activity of TK-8001 (Part 2 of trial) [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years after TK-8001 treatment, or until disease progression ]Evaluation of overall response rate, rate of stable disease, partial response, and complete response rates of TK-8001 monotherapy, according to RECIST Version 1.1 and iRECIST
- End of dose escalation [ Time Frame: 28 days after TK-8001 treatment of last patient in part 1 ]RP2D will be determined through integrated evaluation of adverse events, serious adverse events, antitumoral activity, and evaluation of the biological and physiological effects of TK-8001 in the body.
