MT2025-24: A Phase 1, Open-Label Study of FT836, an Off-the-Shelf CAR T-Cell Therapy, With or Without Chemotherapy and/or Monoclonal Antibodies, in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors
This study is for people who have been diagnosed with advanced cancer that has not has not responded to standard treatment. FT836 is a type of cell product made up of “T cells” which are part of the immune system and are important in helping fight infections. T cells are also important in eliminating cancer cells. We want to test the safety of FT836 at different doses, to understand how the body processes and responds to FT836, and to find out what effects FT836 may have on participants and the cancer. The study will also find out what effects FT836, when given alone and with or without chemotherapy treatment (paclitaxel) and/or a monoclonal antibody (cetuximab or trastuzumab.

Phase I Study of Peptide Alarm Therapy (PAT) Administered by Intratumoral Injection with a PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor in Patients with Solid Tumor Cancers Who Have Failed Two Prior Therapies
This study is testing an “investigational” drug referred to as peptide alarm therapy (PAT) that was specially made for this study.

The goal of the 1st part of the study is to identify an acceptable, safe dose of PAT and up to 3 dose levels of PAT will be tested. If dose level 3 is reached without toxicity, it becomes the dose used for the next part of the study. In the 2nd part of the study, additional patients are treated at the PAT dose identified as safe in the 1st part to gain additional safety information and provide an initial estimate of anti-cancer effect.
