Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
This study will evaluate the safety of PD-1 knockout engineered T cells in treating castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Blood samples will also be collected for research purposes.
Detailed description
This is a dose-escalation study of ex-vivo knocked-out, expanded, and selected PD-1 knockout-T cells from autologous origin. Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups to determine the maximal tolerant dose. After the lower number of cycles are considered tolerant, an arm of the next higher number of cycles will be open to next patients. Biomarkers and immunological markers are collected and analyzed as well.
Interventions
PD-1 Knockout T Cells and PD-1 wild-type T Cells will be made by Cell Biotech Co., Ltd. 2x107/kg T cells will be used for test group and comparable group separately.
Cyclophosphamide at 20mg/kg single dose will be administered 3 days i.v. before cell infusion. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) will be given in the following 5 days, 720000 international unit(IU)/Kg/day (if tolerant).
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) will be given in the following 5 days after cell infusion, 720000 international unit(IU)/Kg/ day (if tolerant).

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Temporal Interleukin-2 change in the peripheral blood | Baseline and 1 month and 3 months |
| Temporal Interferon-γ change in the peripheral blood | Baseline and 1 month and 3 months |
| Response Rate:Response will be evaluated according to RECIST v1.1 | 90 days |
| Peripheral blood circulating tumor DNA | 6 weeks |
