E7 T-cell Receptor (TCR) -T Cell Induction Therapy for Locoregionally Advanced HPV-associated Cancers

A Feasibility Study of E7 TCR-T Cell Induction Therapy for Locoregionally Advanced HPV-Associated Cancers

Enrollment

15 participants

Start Date

Aug 11, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility of administration of a single dose of E7 TCR-T cells as induction therapy prior to definitive treatment (chemoradiation or surgery) of locoregionally advanced HPV-associated cancers. The intent of E7 TCR-T cell treatment is to shrink or eliminate tumors and thereby facilitate definitive therapy and increase overall survival. This study seeks to determine 1) if E7 TCR-T cells can be administered without undue delay in definitive treatment, 2) the tumor response rate to E7 TCR-T cell treatment, and 3) the disease-free survival rate at 2 and 5 years. Participants will undergo an apheresis procedure to obtain T cells that will be genetically engineered to generate E7 TCR-T cells. They will receive a conditioning regimen, a single infusion of their own E7 TCR-T cells, and adjuvant aldesleukin. Participants will follow up to assess safety and determine tumor response and will return to their primary oncology team for definitive therapy.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a new type of immune cell therapy (called TCR-T cell therapy) for people with HPV16-related cancers of the head, neck, or cervix that have spread locally. The therapy uses your own immune cells, re-engineered in a lab to recognize and attack HPV-infected cancer cells. **You may be eligible if...** - You are over 18 years old - You have a confirmed HPV16-related cancer (such as head and neck or cervical cancer) - Your cancer has a specific genetic marker called HLA-A*02:01 - Your cancer can be measured on imaging scans - You are in good general health (ECOG 0 or 1) - You are not pregnant and agree to use contraception if of childbearing potential **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your tumor does not test positive for HPV16 - You do not have the HLA-A*02:01 genetic marker - You have significant organ problems (heart, liver, kidney, lung) - You have a serious autoimmune disease - Your health is too poor to tolerate the treatment Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALE7 TCR-T cells

Participants will receive a conditioning regimen consisting of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. E7 TCR-T cells will be administered as a single intravenous infusion.

DRUGAldesleukin

Within 24 hours after E7 TCR-T cell infusion, aldesleukin 720,000 IU/kg IV will be administered every 8 hours as an inpatient for up to 3 doses. Aldesleukin dosing will be stopped for aldesleukin-related grade 3 or greater toxicity other than flushing, fever, chills, or hemodynamic changes (tachycardia or hypotension) that respond to crystalloid infusion. Aldesleukin may also be stopped at any time at investigator discretion.
