About MB-105 (PSCA CAR T technology)
MB-105 was developed in the laboratory of Saul Priceman, Ph.D., assistant professor in City of Hope’s Department of Hematology & Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation and a scientist in the T Cell Therapeutics Research Laboratory led by Stephen Forman, M.D., leader of City of Hope’s Hematologic Malignancies and Stem Cell Transplantation Institute and the laboratory’s director.
The Phase 1 clinical trial of MB-105, one of the first chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T) trials for prostate cancer in the nation, can enroll up to 33 patients. Its primary endpoints are to define the side effects and the best dose of the prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) CAR T cells in treating patients with PSCA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Secondary endpoints include assessing the expansion and persistence of PSCA CAR T cells, the clinical response based on Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) criteria, the survival outcomes and serum cytokine profiles in peripheral blood pre- and post-therapy, as well as describing the PSCA expression level on tumor cells prior to CAR T cell infusion and the relationship it may have with disease response and toxicities.
