The highest non-severely toxic dose was 5×108 CAR-T cells/kg. In the clinical case report, we present a case with unresectable advanced gastric cancer achieved pathological complete response 10 months after IMC002 infusion and no signs of recurrence were indicated in subsequent clinical and radiological follow-ups. IMC002 shows effectiveness and safety in CLDN18.2-positive gastric and pancreatic cancer and its favorable profiles support further clinical development.
However, GI toxicities are reported from clinical use of both Zolbetuximab and CT041...We also demonstrate and characterize on-target/off-tumor gastric toxicity targeting CLDN18.2 in a preclinical mouse model of CT041-scFv derived CAR T cell therapy. By developing CLDN18.2 fully-human VH-only single domain CARs, we demonstrate that on-target/off-tumor toxicity inversely correlates with affinity of the binder, and that a lower affinity CAR may widen the therapeutic window for CLDN18.2 by decreasing on-target/off-tumor toxicity while preserving efficacy.
On the fifth day post-infusion, the MPI signal of SPIONs-labeled CAR-T cells was significantly higher in the tumor than that of labeled normal T cells. MPI combined with FMI successfully monitored the targeting of CLDN18.2-specific CAR-T cells in gastric cancer, potentially guiding the evaluation of CAR-T therapy combined with aPD-L1 immunotherapy.
This is the first randomised controlled trial of CAR T-cell therapy in solid tumours globally. Satri-cel treatment resulted in a significant improvement in progression-free survival, with a manageable safety profile. These results support satri-cel as a new third-line treatment for advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer patients.
