TCR-T Cell Immunotherapy of Lung Cancer and Other Solid Tumors

Overview

Tumor organoids and TILs (and/or peripheral T cells) cultures will be established from fresh tissure of lung cancer and other solid tumors. Coculture will be utilized to screen tumor-responsive T cells which are further selected for monoclonal expansion and TCR cloning for engineered reconstitution of TCR-T cells. After verification by multiple in vitro and in vivo studies, a large number of TCR-T cells will be introduced back into the patients via vein, artery or fine needle punctured to the tumor, or combinations. In this phase I study, the safety, tolerance and preliminary efficacy of the TCR-T cell immunotherapy on human will firstly be assessed.

1. Choose appropriate patients with KK-LC-1 expression in advanced lung cancer or other solid tumors and matched MHC-A11 typing, with written consent for this study; For cancer without expression of KK-LC-1, fresh tumor tissue should be obtained for RNA/DNA sequencing to computationally identify neoantigen peptides that can be captured by specifically personizedly synthesized poly-MHCI which can be further used to fish appropriate T cells from the patient. 2. Perform biopsy to obtain tissue from tumor/lymph node for organoids, TILs, DC and T cells culture, coculture to screening anti-tumor T cells, establish and select monoclonal T cells for TCR cloning; 3. Clone TCR sequence that targets KK-LC-1 or neoantigens; collect PBMCs from the blood of the patients, isolate and activate the T cells and generate the TCR-T cells; 4. Test the quality and killing activity of the TCR-T cells in vitro and then transplant back the patients via systemic (vein and/or artery) or local injections, and follow up closely to collect related clinical data as needed; 5. Evaluate the clinical results as needed.
