Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the safety of PD-1 knockout EBV-CTL cells in treating EBV (Epstein-Barr virus) positive advanced stage malignancies. Blood samples will also be collected for research purposes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a study of CRISPR-Cas9 mediated PD-1 knockout-T cells from autologous origin. Patients are assigned to receive 4 circles of cell therapy. The safety and clinical response are evaluated. Biomarkers and immunological markers are also monitored.

Study Groups

PD-1 knockout EBV-CTL

Peripheral blood lymphocytes will be collected and Programmed cell death protein 1(PDCD1) gene will be knocked out by CRISP-Cas9 system and EBV-CTL will be generated in the laboratory (PD-1 Knockout EBV-CTL).

Fludarabine at 30mg/m2 and Cyclophosphamide at 300mg/m2 single dose will be administered 3 days i.v. before cell infusion.

A total of 2 x 10\^7/kg PD-1 Knockout CTL will be infused in one cycle. Each cycle is divided into three administrations, with 20% infused in the first administration, 30% in the second, and the remaining 50% in the third.

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) will be given daily( iv) since the first day of the cell infusion for 5 consecutive days, 4000,000 international unit(IU)/day . Patients will receive a total of four cycles of treatment.
