Clinical trial identification The study had a classic 3+3 design for each indication trial, with separate EpCAM CAR-T cell (IMC001) dose escalations for monotherapy...Conclusions We present valuable insights into the pathophysiology of CRS and suggest that TLR4 on CD36+ monocytes is a promising target for managing CRS, which offers a new strategy for mitigating the side effects of CAR-T therapy. We also highlight the role of innate immune components, particularly CD16+ monocytes, in achieving optimal CAR-T treatment efficacy through antigen processing and presentation.
IMC001 shows a favorable safety profile and reasonable anti-tumor activities at the initial dosage level in patients with refractory EpCAM+ cancers of digestive system. Updated data from open cohorts will be presented.
