About

This trial is a single arm, open phase I clinical study to investigate the safety and efficacy of personalized KSX01-TCRT in patients with advanced solid tumors. This experiment is divided into two parts: the dose increasing stage (Part A) and the dose expanding stage (Part B). For those enrolled in the planned expansion phase, the dose should have passed the safety assessment during the dose escalation phase.

Patients with tumor lesions that can be collected and can screen out TCR sequences that can be used as drugs can enter the study.

- Screening period 2- inclusion criteria:

After receiving confirmation notification of TCR sequence locking from the partner, or if the patient has obtained their personalized TCR sequence in other studies, they can be arranged to undergo various inclusion evaluations in screening period 2.

The organ function and key examination items of the patient at this stage should not have significant changes compared to the examination results in screening period 1. If the patient's examination results during screening period 2 exceed the following criteria, peripheral monocyte collection should not be performed until the abnormal items return to normal range.

Screening period 2- Routine inclusion criteria

According to the judgment of the researchers, the underlying condition of the subjects may increase their risk of receiving investigational drug treatment, or may cause confusion in the interpretation of toxic reactions and adverse events that may occur.
