Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of neoplasia. 2. Measurable (per RECIST v1.1 criteria) metastatic cancer or locally advanced refractory/recurrent malignancy not amenable to curative treatment. Lesions previously irradiated may be considered measurable only if growth has been documented since local treatment completion. 3.

Or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days before the first dose of study intervention. 5. History of severe immediate hypersensitivity reaction to cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, or aldesleukin. 6. Subjects with a history of stroke, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or ventricular arrhythmia requiring medication or mechanical control within 3 months. 7. Subjects unable to maintain normal oxygen saturation level in room air. 8. Subjects who have had a venous thromboembolic event requiring anticoagulation and who meet any of the following criteria:
  • - Have been on a stable dose of anticoagulation for < 1 month (except for acute line insertion induced thrombosis).
  • - Have had a Grade 2, 3, or 4 hemorrhage in the last 30 days or are experiencing continued symptoms from their venous thromboembolic event (e.g. continued dyspnea or oxygen requirement).
9. Has a known additional malignancy within the last 3 years. Exceptions include early stage cancers (carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, in situ cervical cancer, or in situ breast cancer that has undergone potentially curative therapy). 10. LVEF ≤ 40% 11. Documented FEV1 ≤ 60% predicted tested in patients with:
  • - A prolonged history of cigarette smoking (≥ 20 pack-year smoking history, with cessation within the past two years).
  • - Symptoms of respiratory dysfunction.
12. Patients who are at the time of study initiation receiving any other investigational agents. 13. Carcinomatosis meningitis or other brain involvement exceeding that allowed above. 14. Has received live vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention. Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following: measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, yellow fever, rabies, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), and typhoid vaccine. Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally killed virus vaccines and are allowed; however, intranasal influenza vaccines (eg, FluMist®) are live attenuated vaccines and are not allowed.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05296564
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

This is a two-part, non-randomized, open label, single-site Phase I/II study. The first Part A is a dose ranging maximum tolerated dose (MTD) study and Part B is an extension phase to evaluate safety at the selected safe dose. A Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will determine the safe dose for testing in the expansion phase (Part B). Part A will be according to a 3+3 dose escalation design. A total of up to 20 patients will participate in this Part. Part B will be an expansion phase. The objective will be to determine if the treatment regimen is associated with a clinical response rate that can rule out 5% (p0=0.05) in favor of a modest 20% Partial Response (PR) + Complete Response (CR) rate (p1=0.20). A total of up to 43 patients may be enrolled in Part B (41 +2, allowing for up to 2 non-evaluable patients).
