A Clinical Research About CD70-positive Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors Treated by CD70-targeted CAR-T

A Phase I Clinical Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of CD70-targeting CAR-T in the Treatment of CD70-positive Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors

As a phase I clinical research，this study plans to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CD70-targeting CAR-T cells in the treatment of CD70-positive advanced/metastatic solid tumors, and obtain recommended doses and infusion patterns.

This is a single-center, double-arm, open-label study. The research designs to follow 2 groups：Intravenous infusion group and Intraperitoneal injection group；each group sets up 2 phases,the first phase is dose discovery phase to obtain recommended doses,the second phase is dose expansion phase to verify the safety in the recommended doses. In the discovery phase,each group puts up 4 dose groups, adopting a dose-escalating 3+3 design, and plan to recruit about 12 subjects with CD70-positive advanced/metastatic solid tumors.In the dose expansion phase,each group will choose one or two dose groups to verify the safety and efficacy at this dose,and plan to recruit about 6 subjects in each dose group.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ≥18 years old, male or female;

11. Subjects or their guardians agree to participate in this clinical trial and sign the ICF, indicating that they understand the purpose and procedures of this clinical trial and are willing to participate in the research.

Exclusion Criteria:

   2. Received anti-tumor therapy such as chemotherapy and targeted therapy within 2 weeks or at least 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) before apheresis;
   3. Received systemic corticosteroid therapy at doses greater than 10 mg/day prednisone (or equivalent doses of other corticosteroids) within 2 weeks prior to apheresis (inhalation or topical allowed in the absence of active autoimmune disease Use steroids and adrenal corticosteroid replacement at doses greater than 10 mg/day of prednisone);
