What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying a new type of treatment called CAR-T therapy for patients with advanced malignant solid tumors that test positive for carcinoembryonic antigen CEA. This phase I clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CAR-T cells in these patients and to determine the highest dose that can be safely given as well as the recommended dose for future studies. The study focuses mainly on patients with colorectal cancer who have not responded to standard treatments. The trial includes three groups of patients receiving CAR-T cells through different methods intravenous infusion, intraperitoneal injection, and a specialized intraperitoneal infusion called FAST CAR-T. Each group undergoes a dose-escalation process with increasing levels of CAR-T cells to find the optimal dose. Before receiving CAR-T cells, participants are treated with chemotherapy to prepare their bodies for the therapy. Participants will be closely monitored for adverse events within 28 days after receiving CAR-T cells to assess safety. Researchers will also measure disease control rates, changes in tumor markers, and how the CAR-T cells behave in the body over a one-year period. Assessments include blood tests, imaging of tumors, and evaluations of organ function. The trial will continue until December 2027, with regular follow-ups to gather information on treatment effects and patient health.
