treating nectin-4-positive advanced breast cancer with xkdct293 (nectin-4-car-t)

Conditions: Advanced Breast Cancer

Summary: a single-center, single-arm, dose-escalation exploratory clinical trial of the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of xkdct 293 (nectin-4-car-t) in nectin-4-positive advanced breast cancer

this study is a prospective, single-arm, open-label, single-dose dose-finding study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor efficacy characteristics of xkdct 293 (nectin-4-car-t) cell preparation in subjects with nectin-4-positive advanced breast cancer. the study will enroll subjects with pathologically confirmed advanced breast cancer, positive nectin-4 expression, who have previously received standard treatment, failed treatment or cannot tolerate it. imaging examinations show evaluable tumor lesions. the study included screening period, pbmc collection, baseline, lymphocyte pre-depletion chemotherapy , rest evaluation, cell transfusion, hospitalization observation period, routine follow-up period, and long-term follow-up period. the study set up three dose groups, and adopted the classic 3+3 experimental design for dose escalation. main purpose: (1)the safety and tolerability of xkdct 293 in the treatment of nectin-4-positive advanced breast cancer secondary purpose: 1. the cellular metabolic kinetics and pharmacodynamics of xkdct 293 in the treatment of nectin-4 -positive advanced breast cancer ; 2. to preliminarily evaluate the efficacy of xkdct 293 cell preparations in patients with advanced nectin-4-positive breast cancer.
