TrialFetch AI Analysis

Goal: Evaluate feasibility, safety, and define the MTD/RP2D of autologous B7-H3–directed CAR T cells delivered either intraperitoneally or intravenously for adults with recurrent, platinum‑refractory or ‑resistant ovarian cancer, and explore early antitumor activity.

Patients: Adults (≥18 years) with histologically or cytologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer (serous, endometrioid, clear cell, mucinous, mixed epithelial, or undifferentiated; carcinosarcoma allowed if predominantly high grade), measurable disease, ECOG 0–2, adequate organ function, and prior platinum-based therapy with platinum-refractory or -resistant status. Archival tissue or willingness to undergo biopsy is required for B7‑H3 expression analysis, though positivity is not mandatory. Key exclusions include active/uncontrolled infection, significant cardiovascular disease, active autoimmune disease, active HIV/HBV/HCV viremia, untreated or unstable brain metastases, recent high-dose steroids, GI fistula/perforation/abscess, and clinically significant seizure history.

Design: Single-site, open-label, nonrandomized phase 1 using a conventional 3+3 dose-escalation design in two administration cohorts (intraperitoneal and intravenous). Planned enrollment is 48. Dose-limiting toxicities are assessed through day 28 after infusion; expansion to at least 6 evaluable participants per arm for MTD/RP2D determination.

Treatments: Autologous B7-H3CART cells administered after lymphodepleting conditioning, delivered either intraperitoneally via a surgically or radiologically placed catheter for patients with disease confined to the peritoneum, or intravenously for patients with extra-peritoneal disease or unsuitable peritoneal anatomy. B7‑H3CART targets CD276 (B7‑H3), a pan‑cancer immunoregulatory antigen overexpressed on many solid tumors with limited normal tissue expression. The CAR comprises autologous T cells engineered with a second‑generation construct (typical costimulation domains include 4‑1BB or CD28) to redirect cytotoxicity against B7‑H3–expressing tumor cells. Early clinical experience with B7‑H3 CAR‑T in CNS malignancies and other solid tumors has shown feasibility and manageable safety with signals of activity in small cohorts, supporting evaluation in ovarian cancer.

Outcomes: Primary: feasibility of manufacturing runs meeting IND release criteria and target dose; MTD/RP2D in each arm based on day 28 DLTs. Secondary: objective response rate per RECIST at day 28 and duration of response up to 12 months.

Burden on patient: High. Participants undergo leukapheresis for autologous manufacturing, lymphodepleting chemotherapy, and CAR T infusion with close inpatient or intensive outpatient monitoring for cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity. The intraperitoneal arm requires laparoscopic or interventional radiology catheter placement and potential Tenckhoff catheter for ascites sampling, adding procedural risk and visits. Serial imaging for response, protocol-mandated labs, and potential on‑study tumor biopsy increase visit frequency and phlebotomy. Early phase monitoring commonly entails frequent clinic assessments in the first month and scheduled follow‑ups thereafter, which together exceed standard-of-care intensity for recurrent ovarian cancer.
