A Phase 1 Study of LCAR-C182A Cells in the Treatment of Advanced Gastric Cancer and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

A Phase 1, Open-Label Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of LCAR-C182A, an Anti-Claudin18.2 CAR-T Cell Therapy in Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

This is an open label, single center, single arm phase 1 study to evaluate the safety , tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy and immunogenicity of LCAR-C182A cells targeting Claudin18.2 in the treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.
