Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Willing and able to participate in the study and provide written informed consent
  • Be ≥ 18 years of age on the day of signing the Informed Consent Form
  • Patients must have thyroid cancer that meets one of the following diagnoses, and, prior to lymphodepleting chemotherapy (LDC), have an identified available fresh or archival biopsy sample:
  • Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer BRAF wild-type at any stage, including newly diagnosed
  • Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer BRAF mutant after failure of or inability to tolerate BRAF- specific therapy
  • Poorly Differentiated Thyroid Cancer that has failed any of the following treatments: surgery radioactive iodine, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or targeted therapies
  • Measurable disease by Computed Tomography (CT) or Positron Emission Tomography (PET) PET/CT per RECIST v1.1
  • a. For ATC patients who do not have measurable disease at Screening, they are required to have measurable disease at Baseline Day -7 to proceed in the study.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 2
  • Life expectancy greater than 8 weeks
  • Overall adequate hepatic, renal, bone marrow, cardiac, and coagulation function, defined as the following:
  • Estimated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/minute
  • Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST): normal or Grade 1. Note: Lymphodepleting Chemotherapy (LDC) agents can cause fluctuations in hepatic enzymes.
  • Serum total bilirubin: normal or Grade 1. Note: LDC agents can cause fluctuations in hepatic enzymes.
  • Serum albumin: normal or Grade 1. (human albumin supplementation is not allowed within 2 weeks prior to Screening assessment)
  • Hemodynamically stable and left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 45%
  • Hematological parameters
  • i. Absolute neutrophil count \> 1000/μL without myeloid growth factor support for ≥ 2 weeks
  • ii. Absolute lymphocyte count ≥ 100/μL at screening and at apheresis
  • iii. Platelet count ≥ 50 × 1000/μL without platelet transfusion for ≥ 2 weeks
  • iv. Hemoglobin concentration \> 7 g/dL without red blood cell transfusion for ≥ 2 weeks
  • Has met the minimum washout time for previous cancer treatments before undergoing apheresis or LDC, and in the Investigator's judgement, the patient is able to safely undergo the procedure
  • (incorporated into inclusion criteria #7)
  • Females of reproductive potential (defined as all females physiologically capable of becoming pregnant) must agree to use 1 highly effective method of contraception and 1 additional effective method from at least 30 days before enrollment/apheresis and for at least 1 year after the infusion of AIC100 CAR T Cells.
  • Females of reproductive potential must have a negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test result at Screening

Exclusion

  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Clinically significant, active, uncontrolled, systemic infection; the following are not exclusionary:
  • Patients with Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) must have been on effective antiretroviral therapy for ≥ 4 weeks prior to enrollment; must have an HIV viral load \< 400 copies/µL; no acquired immunodeficiency syndrome related opportunistic infections in the previous 12 months; and a CD4+ cell count ≥ 350 cells/µL
  • Patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection must be on antiviral therapy and have an HBV viral load below the limits of detection
  • Patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have completed therapy and have an HCV viral load below the limits of detection
  • Prior treatment with investigational gene therapy or CAR T cell therapy
  • Presence of active and clinically relevant central nervous system disorder such as epilepsy, stroke, or symptomatic or uncontrolled brain metastases
  • Evidence of another malignancy within 2 years prior to Screening (except in-situ non melanoma skin cancers, localized controlled prostate cancer, adequately treated Stage 1 uterine cancer that has a low risk of recurrence, or any other malignancies with similar outcome)
  • (incorporated into exclusion criteria #2)
  • Active autoimmune disease (including but not limited to systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's Syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease) requiring immunosuppressive therapy within 4 weeks prior to eligibility confirmation
  • Patients with severe chronic diseases of the kidney, liver, heart, lung; or any other serious illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may affect the patient's treatment, follow up, or assessments, including but not limited to uncontrolled clinically significant neurological or psychiatric disorders or metabolic diseases
  • Patients who need long-term use of systemic corticosteroids \> 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent
  • Allergy to the chemotherapy drugs given during lymphodepletion or known hypersensitivity to any component of AIC100 CAR T Cells, including excipients
  • Receipt of a COVID-19 vaccine within 4 weeks before Screening
  • Concurrent participation in another interventional clinical study during participation in this study
  • Prior treatment with any gene therapy or genetically modified cell therapy, including CAR T cells
  • Prior treatment with ICAM-1 directed antibody, bispecific T cell engager, or antibody drug conjugate, unless there is confirmed ICAM-1 expression (by immunohistochemistry) after progression or relapse following most recent ICAM-1 directed treatment.
