Brief Summary

This is a single-center, single-arm, open-label Phase I study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MSLN STAR-T cell immunotherapy in the treatment of advanced malignant solid tumors.

Detailed Description

This study is a single-center, dose-escalation, prospective, exploratory study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MSLN STAR-T cells in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. The study is divided into two phases: dose escalation and dose expansion. The total duration of each subject's participation in the study is expected to be 24 months, including the screening period, non-myeloablative chemotherapy pretreatment, cell infusion-observation period, and follow-up period.

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NA
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

MSLN STAR-T cells

The patients will receive one dose of MSLN STAR-T.The dosage ranges from1×10\^7 to 1×10\^8 STAR-T+/kg.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

MSLN STAR-T cells

Intervention Type: BIOLOGICAL

Patients with advanced MSLN-positive solid tumors will be recruited, and autologous-derived MSLN-STAR-T cells will be infused intravenously at escalating doses of 1×10\^7-1×10\^8 MSLN-STAR-T cells. The CAR-T ratio will be monitored at predetermined times (day 0, day 4, day 7, day 10, day 14, day 28).

Interventions
