Spearhead 1 Study in Subjects With Advanced Synovial Sarcoma or Myxoid/​Round Cell Liposarcoma

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate genetically-engineered ADP-A2M4 in HLA-A*02 subjects with metastatic or inoperable (advanced) Synovial Sarcoma or Myxoid/Round Cell Liposarcoma (MRCLS) who have received prior chemotherapy and whose tumor expresses the MAGE-A4 tumor antigen.
