This study will be conducted using a phase I/II trial design to assess the efficacy and safety of the CTLA-4 and PD-1 antibodies expressing mesothelin-CAR-T (mesoCAR-T) for patients with mesothelin positive, advanced recurrent or refractory malignant solid tumors. MesoCAR-T can specificly and effectively kill the mesothelin positive cancer cells, CTLA-4 and PD-1 antibodies are secreted from the CAR-T cells could improve immunosuppression microenvironment, new CAR-T cells contain the advantages of CAR-T and immune checkpoint inhibitor, which is a promising therapeutic method for advanced solid tumors.~The new CAR-T therapy is applied to clinical practice as bellow. T cells are prepared from peripheral blood mononuclear cells by leukapheresis, then activated and engineered to CTLA-4 and PD-1 antibodies expressing and chimeric antigen receptor targeting mesothelin. Cells are proliferated in culture and returned to the patients by venous transfusion. A total of 40 patients may be enrolled in the study. The total duration of the study is expected to be approximately 24 months.
This is a single-arm, open-label, one center clinical study, to determine the safety and efficacy of infusion of autologous T cells engineered to express immune checkpoint antibodies (CTLA-4 and PD-1) and chimeric antigen receptor targeting mesothelin (mesoCAR-T) in adult patients with mesothelin positive, advanced recurrent or refractory malignant solid tumors.
