Clinical Study of CEA Targeting Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Lymphocytes（CAR-T） for CEA Positive Advanced Malignant Solid Tumors

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Lymphocytes (CAR-T) Targeting CEA in the Treatment of CEA Positive Clinical Study of Advanced Malignant Solid Tumors

This study is a open-label, dose-escalating + dose-expansion clinical study, aiming to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CEA-targeted CART cell preparations, and to reliminarily observe the study drug in CEA-positive advanced malignant tumors. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of CART cell preparations for the treatment of patients with CEA-positive advanced malignancies were obtained and the recommended dose and infusion schedule.

According to the infusion ways, it is divided into two subgroups: intravenous infusion and intraperitoneal injection. Each subgroup includes a dose exploration stage and a dose expansion stage. 3 patients were explored, starting from the low-dose group, and in the dose expansion phase, the safety and efficacy were further verified according to the safe recommended dose obtained in the dose exploration phase.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ≥18 years old, male or female;

2. Advanced, metastatic or recurrent malignant tumors diagnosed by histology or pathology, mainly colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and pancreatic cancer;

3. After receiving at least second-line standard treatment failure (disease progression or intolerance, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc.) or lack of effective treatment methods;

4. Immunohistochemical staining of tumor samples within 3 months confirmed that the tumor was CEA positive (clear membrane staining, positive rate ≥ 10%); , the positive rate ≥ 10%), the serum CEA of the patient is required to exceed 10ug/L.

5. At least one assessable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 criteria,For extranodal lesions, the length and diameter should be ≥10mm. For nodular lesions, the short diameter of the lymph node should be ≥15mm;
