Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age ≥18 years old, male or female;
  2. Patients with advanced malignant solid tumors confirmed by histology or pathology,including colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer,non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, and cholangiocarcinoma;
  3. Progression or intolerance occurs after receiving systematic standard therapyaccording to guidelines,(systemic therapy including but not limited to systemicchemotherapy, molecular targeting, etc.) and is not suitable for surgery or localtherapy (including ablative therapy, interventional therapy, and radiation therapy),among which colorectal cancer needs to receive at least third-line therapy failure orintolerance or inapplicability. Esophageal, gastric, non-small cell lung, breast, andcholangiocarcinoma require at least second-line treatment failure or intolerance orinadequacy, and pancreatic cancer require at least first-line treatment failure orintolerance or inadequacy:
  4. Advanced colorectal cancer: progression or intolerance or inadequacy afterthird-line standard therapy including cetuximab ± Irinotecan/regorafenib /fruquintinib/trifluridine;
  5. Advanced or metastatic esophageal cancer/esophagogastric junction cancer:patients with esophageal cancer who progress or are intolerant or inapplicableafter second-line therapy including PD-1 MAB /PD-L1 mab; Patients withesophagogastric junction cancer progressed or were intolerant or inapplicableafter second-line therapy including taxane or irinotecan or PD-1 /PD-L1monoclonal antibody; For HER-2 positive patients, trastuzumab containing systemtherapy should fail or be intolerable or not applicable;
  6. Advanced/metastatic gastric cancer: the combination of PD-1 MAB /PD-L1 MAB andchemotherapy has been developed or is not tolerated or suitable; For HER-2positive patients, systemic treatment containing trastuzumab should fail or beintolerable or inapplicable.
  7. Patients with advanced, metastatic, or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer whohave received systemic treatment progression or intolerance, including: Patientswith positive driver genes (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, NTRK, MET, RET) should receivetargeted therapy failure or drug resistance (squamous cell carcinoma does notrequire driver gene testing). In addition, patients with EGFR-positive drivergene who are resistant to first-line EGFR-Tkis and who are positive for EGFRT790M mutations need to be treated with third-generation EGFR-TKI (such asOsimertinib, almonertinib, or furmonertinib) after failure or resistance. Forpatients with positive ALK fusion and drug resistance after first-line crizotinibtreatment, second-line treatment with ceritinib or alectinib should fail or beresistant; Patients with PD-L1 expression (PD-L1 TPS≥1%) should undergo immunecheckpoint inhibitor treatment failure or intolerance; In patients with negativedriver genes, the disease progresses or becomes intolerable after chemotherapywith platinum-containing regiments-such as Camrelizumab, Pembrolizumab,Tislelizumab, Sintilimab or Atezolizumab combined with pemetrexed
  8. Advanced, metastatic breast cancer: HER-2 positive patients need to have receivedanti-HER-2 therapy, hormone receptor positive patients need to receive endocrinetherapy and other standard treatments have failed or are intolerable or notapplicable, and rescue chemotherapy for those who have failed/are intolerable ortriple-negative breast cancer (including: Gemcitabine + cisplatin/carboplatin,albumin paclitaxel/other taxoid drugs + cisplatin/carboplatin) fail or are nottolerated or suitable;
  9. Locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer: advanced or intolerant orinappropriate after at least first-line treatment, including: Gemcitabine +albumin-bound paclitaxel/cisplatin/erlotinib/capecitabine/tegafur/Nimotuzumab, orFOLFIRINOX (oxaliplatin + irinotecan +LV+5-FU), or mFOLFIRINOX (oxaliplatin +irinotecan + calcium folinate +5-FU);
  10. Advanced cholangiocarcinoma: progression or intolerance or inapplicability afterat least second-line therapy (mFOLFOX); Remarks: Chemotherapy failure is definedas disease progression or intolerable toxicity during treatment or within 3months after the last dose; If patients cannot receive the above treatment foreconomic reasons, those whose benefits outweigh the risks of inclusion in thestudy can be enrolled.
  11. Subjects with positive CEA (IHC score 3+) in tumor tissue samples (paraffin sectionsor fresh tissue specimens or puncture biopsy samples) within 3 months beforescreening; If the immunohistochemical results of the tumor samples are more than 3months from the time of screening, the patient needs to re-biopsy; If the tumorspecimens are not available or the amount is too small for immunohistochemicaldetection of CEA, the CEA positive can be confirmed by re-staining of previous tissuespecimens, and the peripheral blood serum CEA≥2.0×ULN can be included in the group.

Study Description

According to the sequence principle of low and high dose of C-13-60 cell reinfusion, the dose escalation experiment was carried out successively. Three subjects in each dose group were enrolled first. If DLT did not appear, the decision of whether to enter the next dose group was made according to Safety review committee (SRC) resolution. If there was one case of DLT, then 3 subjects were enrolled one by one, and DLT observation was completed for 28 days after each subject's infusion. If no DLT was found, the next infusion was continued. If DLT was found, the subsequent enrollment of the dose group was terminated, and the experiment was terminated or the dose was reduced according to the dose increasing principle. If > 1 case of DLT occurs, the trial is terminated or the dose is reduced.According to the evaluation of the researchers, the subjects who met the conditions of antisepsis received antisepsis chemotherapy 1-5 to -3 days before the transfusion of C-13-60 cells;
