Study summary

This is a single-center, open-label clinical study of anti-CEA-CAR-T cells for CEA+ patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors. In this study, a single-dose regimen was designed, and the investigator had the discretion to decide whether the patient received more than once CAR T-cell therapy.This study intends to include CEA+ patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors.They will take the anti-CEA-CAR-T cell transfusion after a screening period, mononuclear cell (PBMC) collection, bridging therapy if necessary, and lymphocyte clearance pretreatment period.

    Anti-CEA-CAR-T cell infusion

    Anti-CEA-CAR-T cell is administered as a single intravenous infusion. Follow-up infusions are based on the investigator's decision.The dose group to be infusion was 0.3×10\^7 CAR-T cells/kg, 1×10\^7 CAR-T cells/kg, and 3×10\^7 CAR-T cells/kg based on the 3+3 dose escalation principle. The infusion dose refers to the number of CAR-positive cells.The patients will receive lymphocyte clearance therapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine before the infusion.
