Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and activity of BPX-601 CAR-T cells in participants with previously treated advanced solid tumors (pancreatic and prostate) expressing high levels of prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA). Participants' T cells are modified to recognize and target the PSCA tumor marker on cancer cells.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer Metastatic Prostate Cancer Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Biological: BPX-601 Drug: Rimiducid Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:

The goal of this study is to characterize the feasibility, safety, and clinical activity of PSCA-specific CAR-T cells, BPX-601, administered with rimiducid to subjects with previously treated, PSCA-positive advanced solid tumors (pancreatic or prostate). BPX-601 CAR-T cells are genetically engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to target the PSCA antigen and a rimiducid-inducible signaling domain which functions as a molecular "go-switch" to enhance activation and proliferation.

Phase 1: Cell dose escalation to identify the maximum dose of BPX-601 administered with single or repeat doses of rimiducid (fixed dose of 0.4 mg/kg per infusion).

Phase 2: Indication-specific dose expansion to assess the safety, pharmacodynamics (including BPX-601 persistence), and clinical activity at the recommended dose identified in Phase 1 in various PSCA-expressing solid tumors.

Arms and Interventions
Go to

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Arm 1: Phase 1 Dose Escalation
Participants with advanced pancreatic or prostate cancer will receive an intravenous infusion of BPX-601 followed by one or more intravenous infusions of rimiducid. Dose escalation of BPX-601 will continue until the recommended cell dose level is reached.
 Biological: BPX-601
Autologous T cells genetically modified with retrovirus vector containing PSCA-specific CAR and an inducible MyD88/Cluster Designation (CD)40 (iMC) co-stimulatory domain

Drug: Rimiducid
Dimerizer infusion to activate the iMC of the BPX-601 cells for improved proliferation and persistence
Other Name: AP1903
Experimental: Arm 2: Phase 2 Dose Expansion
Participants with advanced pancreatic or prostate cancer will receive an intravenous infusion of BPX-601 at the recommended cell dose level followed by one or more intravenous infusions of rimiducid.
 Biological: BPX-601
Autologous T cells genetically modified with retrovirus vector containing PSCA-specific CAR and an inducible MyD88/Cluster Designation (CD)40 (iMC) co-stimulatory domain

Drug: Rimiducid
Dimerizer infusion to activate the iMC of the BPX-601 cells for improved proliferation and persistence
Other Name: AP1903


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Dose Limiting Toxicity [ Time Frame: 4 weeks after first rimiducid infusion (i.e., Day 35) ]
    Incidence of dose limiting toxicity

  2. Treatment emergent adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs) [ Time Frame: 180 days after BPX-601 treatment up to 15 years ]
    Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs) assessed for severity using NCI CTCAE v4.03

  3. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) [ Time Frame: through Phase 1 completion, up to 5 years ]
    Identify the optimal dose of BPX-601 with rimiducid for Phase 2


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Pharmacodynamics (PD) of BPX-601 [ Time Frame: up to 1 year after treatment ]
    Change from baseline in pharmacodynamic blood biomarkers - markers of BPX-601 CAR-T cells

  2. Antitumor activity of BPX-601 [ Time Frame: From the time of BPX-601 cell infusion until confirmed disease progression or death due to any cause, the start of new anticancer therapy, or withdrawal, whichever comes first, as assessed for up to 5 years after the last subject has been enrolled ]
    Percentage of subjects with objective response determined by the investigator according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or the Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) criteria
