Project Objective: Clinical Trial, Phase 1 or Phase 1/2
A Phase I/IIa Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Toca 511/Toca FC with Standard of Care Therapy in Newly Diagnosed High Grade Glioma
Therapeutic Candidate or Device DB107 (Toca 511), a retroviral replicating vector expressing yeast cytosine deaminase, which converts an antifungal prodrug to an anticancer drug Indication Newly diagnosed high-grade glioma Therapeutic Mechanism Retroviral replicating vector DB107 (Toca 511) spreads through tumors and delivers yeast cytosine deaminase (CD), which converts the antifungal prodrug 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) to the […]
RPESC-RPE-4W Therapy for dry Age-related Macular Degeneration
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Retina pigment epithelial stem cell (RPESC)-derived RPE progeny at 4 weeks of differentiation (RPESC-RPE-4W) Indication Dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD). Therapeutic Mechanism Dry AMD involves loss of the RPE cells that support the overlying retina and vision. We transplant laboratory grown RPESC-RPE-4W cell to replace the RPE cells lost in […]
Phase I Trial of Locoregionally Delivered Autologous B7-H3 CAR T Cells (B7-H3CART) in Adults with Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Autologous T cells genetically engineered to express a Chimeric Antigen Receptor targeting B7-H3 (B7-H3CART) Indication Brain tumors in adults: Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) Therapeutic Mechanism Progenitor B7-H3CART cells will recognize GBM cancer cells expressing B7-H3, become activated, divide, and kill the cancer cells Unmet Medical Need Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most […]
Phase I Study of Chimeric Antigen Receptor Engineered T Cells targeting CD33 for the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Immune T cells from a patient’s transplant donor engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors for targeted leukemia killing Indication Relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia Therapeutic Mechanism Upon adoptive transfer, patient specific immune T cells that express chimeric antigen receptors will specifically recognize and directly kill leukemia cells expressing CD33. Unmet […]
Personalized antisense oligonucleotide therapy for rare pediatric genetic disease: SCN2A
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Investigational personalized antisense oligonucleotide drug (nL-SCN2A-002) Indication SCN2a-associated genetic disorder Therapeutic Mechanism The study participant has a pathogenic de novo p.R853Q gain-of-function amino acid substitution mutation in the SCN2A gene with both GOF and LOF effects when expressed in cells. nL-SCN2A-002 is designed to specifically bind the pathogenic allele and lower […]
Stem-Derived IL13Ra2 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cells for Patients with Melanoma and Advanced Solid Tumors
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Adult Stem-Like T cells engineered with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to target cancers expressing IL13Ra2, including melanoma. Indication Advanced cancers that express IL13Ra2, including melanoma. Therapeutic Mechanism When administered to a patient, the engineered T cells will circulate through the blood and tissues to nd, recognize and kill tumor cells that […]
Evaluation of Safety and Feasibility of Cytomegalovirus-Specific, Anti-HIV Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CMV/HIV-CAR) T Cells in People with HIV
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific T cells that express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) which targets and eliminates HIV-infected cells Indication Management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) Therapeutic Mechanism Persons with HIV (PWH) lose immunity because of decreased T lymphocyte function. We propose to treat them with CAR T cells which […]
A Phase I Open Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of ISP-001 in Patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 1
Therapeutic Candidate or Device B cells will be isolated from patients suffering MPSI. These will be transformed with a normal copy of the gene and re-introduced into the patient Indication Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPSI) is a rare disease that affects predominantly children. Untreated, these patients typically die by the age of 10. Therapeutic Mechanism The therapeutic […]
Autologous ARTEMIS® T Cells to Treat Refractory/Relapsed Pediatric Liver Cancer
Therapeutic Candidate or Device ET140203 T cells: engineered T-cell therapy whereby autologous T cells are modified to specifically target and kill AFP+/ HLA-A2+ cancer cells. Indication Pediatric subjects aged ≥ 1 year to ≤ 21 years who are AFP-positive/HLA-A2-positive and have relapsed/refractory (r/r) HB, HCN-NOS, or HCC. Therapeutic Mechanism ET140203 T-cell therapy is designed to […]
Reduced intensity conditioning with JSP191 prior to TCRαβ+ T-cell/CD19+ B-cell depleted hematopoietic stem cell transplant for Fanconi Anemia patients
