Brief summary

This is a prospective, open label, single arm clinical trial to evaluate the safety and the preliminary efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor-dendritic cell (CAR-DC) in the treatment of advanced solid tumors positive for one of the following antigens: ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EphA2), claudin-18 isoform 2 (CLDN18.2) , trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (Trop2), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), guanylyl cyclase-C (GCC), glypican-3 (GPC3) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA).

Detailed description

Dendritic cell (DC) plays a vital role in T cell priming and anti-tumor immune activation. A novel kind of engineered DC, chimeric antigen receptor-dendritic cell (CAR-DC) can reverse the immune suppression in tumor-microenvironment (TME) to enhance anti-tumor therapy. This is a prospective, open label, single arm clinical trial to evaluate the safety and the preliminary efficacy of CAR-DC in the treatment of advanced solid tumors positive for one of the following antigens: ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EphA2), claudin-18 isoform 2 (CLDN18.2) , trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (Trop2), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), guanylyl cyclase-C (GCC) , glypican-3 (GPC3) AND carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). A total number of 10 patients will receive two rounds of intravenous infusions of 30 million CAR-DC at an interval of 14 days and receive follow-up visits after the second round of infusion up to 1 or 2 years.

Kidney: creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, or creatinine clearance rate (Ccr) ≥ 50 mL/min (according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula); Urine output\>10 mL/h within 16-24 hours; 3. Coagulation: International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN (excluding those receiving therapeutic anticoagulants); 4. Other: Blood oxygen saturation ≥ 90%, negative fecal occult blood test, etc. 9.
