738 A phase 1/2 study investigating the safety and efficacy of autologous TAC T cells in subjects with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic claudin 18.2+ solid tumors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background CLDN18.2 is a tight junction protein found in differentiated gastric epithelial cells which can become abnormally or ectopically expressed in a number of solid tumor indications. This exposure profile illustrates the potential of CLDN18.2 as a candidate for targeted therapy. To date, there are no approved therapeutic agents directed against this target. The T cell antigen coupler (TAC) technology is an approach to modifying T cells ex vivo, which allows recognition and cytotoxicity of tumor cells by co-opting the natural T cell receptor. TAC T cells demonstrate a safer profile than chimeric antigen receptor T cells. TAC01-CLDN18.2 is an autologous T-cell product comprising T cells expressing CLDN18.2 TAC. Methods This is a first-in-human study (NCT05862324) to investigate the safety and preliminary anti-tumor activity of TAC01-CLDN18.2 in CLDN18.2+/HER2- solid tumors. Subjects will undergo leukapheresis and may receive bridging anticancer therapy, if deemed necessary by the Investigator, during cell manufacturing. Prior to TAC01-CLDN18.2 infusion, subjects will undergo low-intensity lymphodepletion chemotherapy. In phase I dose escalation, TAC01-CLDN18.2 will be administered at increasing doses (Cohorts 1–3) in adult subjects after ≥2 lines of therapy using the classic 3+3 dose escalation study design. Subjects with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) may have been treated with 1 line of prior therapy. CLDN18.2 expression levels will be determined centrally using a clinical trial assay validated across relevant indications. Dose limiting toxicities will be assessed up to 28 days from TAC01-CLDN18.2 infusion. A second dose may be administered, according to preidentified clinical and safety criteria. In Phase II, dose expansion groups will further evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of the optimal TAC01-CLDN18.2 dose, with the option of redosing. Indications will include gastric and esophageal adenocarcinoma (group A), PDAC (group B) and ovarian and non-small cell lung cancer (group C) in subjects after ≥2 and <4 lines of prior therapy (subjects with PDAC may have been exposed to 1 therapy). Definitions of eligible CLDN18.2 expression levels will be based on retrospective analysis of data from Phase 1 in association with clinical efficacy. A Simon 2-stage design will be used to enroll ≤57 subjects in Group A and ≤22 subjects in Group C. Group B will be exploratory and will enroll ≤10 subjects with an opportunity of cohort enrichment based on clinical efficacy data. Trial Registration www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT05862324

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
