A Phase 1/2 Study to Evaluate CHM-2101, an Autologous Cadherin 17 (CDH17) Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cell Therapy for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Gastrointestinal Cancers
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate CHM-2101, an autologous CDH17 CAR T-cell therapy for the treatment of advanced gastrointestinal (GI) cancers that are relapsed or refractory to at least 1 standard treatment regimen in the metastatic or locally advanced setting.
• Documented informed consent of the participant and/or legally authorized representative.
• Confirmed histologic diagnosis of one of the following solid tumors of GI origin:
∙ Gastric adenocarcinoma Note: for gastric adenocarcinoma patients only, central laboratory confirmation of CDH17+ tumor expression is required.
‣ Colon and/or rectal adenocarcinoma
‣ G1, G2, and well-differentiated G3 neuroendocrine tumors of the midgut and hindgut (ileal, jejunal, cecal, distal colonic, or rectal; with ≤ 55% Ki67 expression)
• Availability of unstained tumor tissue slides from archived tumor tissue or a new tumor biopsy, if medically feasible. Note: for gastric adenocarcinoma patients only, confirmation of CDH17+ is required prior to study inclusion.
• Have received at least 1 prior line of systemic anti-cancer treatment in the locally advanced or metastatic setting, as defined by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. Participants must have received or declined FDA-approved and available treatment options, including targeted therapies for disease mutation or antigen expression status.
• Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 85 years.
• For Phase 1 Dose Expansion and Phase 2 only: Measurable disease as per RECIST v1.1 criteria (Note: Measurable disease is NOT required for Phase 1 Dose Escalation).
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) ≤ 1.
• Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks.
• No known contraindications to leukapheresis, cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, or steroids.

⁃ Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50%.
⁃ Seronegative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by antigen/antibody (Ag/Ab) testing.

⁃ Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test is required.
⁃ Agreement by women and men of childbearing potential to use an effective method of birth control or abstain from heterosexual activity through at least 3 months after the last dose of CHM-2101.
