Summary

This trial tests a new drug, ASP0739, alone and with another drug, pembrolizumab, in patients with certain cancers who haven't responded to standard treatments. ASP0739 may work by itself or enhance pembrolizumab's ability to help the immune system fight cancer.

  • Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
  • Esophageal Carcinoma
  • Solid Tumors
  • Ovarian Cancer

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Dose Expansion (Phase 2): ASP0739 1x10^8 cells/mLExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with synovial sarcoma (SS), myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MRCL), ovarian cancer and other solid tumors known to express NY-ESO-1 (melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer \[NSCLC\] adenocarcinoma and squamous cell and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma \[ESCC\]) received IV infusion of ASP0739 (HEK293 transfected with a lentiviral vector that is encoding the target antigen NY-ESO-1) at a dose of 1x10\^8 cells/mL at 4 to 6 mL/minute infusion rate on day 1 of each cycle for a total of 4 doses; an additional 2 doses was administered in participants with a PR or SD (1 cycle= 28 days).
Group II: Dose Escalation (Phase 1): ASP0739 1x10^8 cells/mLExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with R/R solid tumors known to express NY-ESO-1 received IV infusion of ASP0739 (HEK293 transfected with a lentiviral vector that is encoding the target antigen NY-ESO-1) at a dose of 1x10\^8 cells/mL at 4 to 6 mL/minute infusion rate on day 1 of each cycle for a total of 4 doses; an additional 2 doses was administered in participants with a PR or SD (1 cycle= 28 days).
Group III: Dose Escalation (Phase 1): ASP0739 1x10^7 cells/mLExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) solid tumors known to express New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma 1 (NY-ESO-1) received intravenous (IV) infusion of ASP0739 (human embryonic kidney cell \[HEK293\] transfected with a lentiviral vector that is encoding the target antigen NY-ESO-1) at a dose of 1x10\^7 cells/milliliters (mL) at 4 to 6 mL/minute infusion rate on day 1 of each cycle for a total of 4 doses; an additional 2 doses was administered in participants with a partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) (1 cycle= 28 days). .
