MG7-CART

Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of this study is to collect the data on the safety and potential effectiveness of intra-tumor injection of MG7-CART cells under ultrasound guidance in patients with liver metastases expressing MG7 positively.

Full description

Designer T cells are prepared by PBMC which from patients by leukapheresis, and then activated and re-engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) specific for MG7, which is a glycosylated protein of CEA. Cells are expanded in culture and returned to the participant by intra-tumor injection at the dose of (1-6)×108 CAR positive T cells. The cells perfusion process would last for 1min to 2min. The dose of 1.5 grams/m2 of cyclophosphamide will be given two days before CART cell infusion.

Experimental group

Description:

A single dose of MG7-CART cells will be administered by intra-tumor injection under ultrasound guidance. The dose is 1-6x108 MG7-CAR positive T cells. The infusion will be scheduled to occur 2 days after two doses of 1.5 grams/m2 of cyclophosphamide, which will be administered according to standard procedures. The cells perfusion process would lasts 1min to 2min, and an interventional radiologist would operate the cell infusion.

Treatment:

Biological: MG7-CART
