Purpose

The main purpose of this research is to verify the safety of CEA targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cells and to determine the proper dosage of CAR T cells infused.

Detailed Description

      Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cells have demonstrated great successes in
      treating even late stage cluster of differentiation antigen 19 (CD19) positive B cell
      malignancies. But it has few studies in solid tumors. The carcino-embryonic antigen(CEA) is
      widely expressed in cancers like gastric cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast
      cancer and colorectal cancer. To confirm if CAR T cells still function in solid tumors, we
      have developed anti-CEA CAR-modified T cells. Preclinical studies have demonstrated effective
      killing of CEA target cells. In this study, the CEA CARs, will be evaluated in CEA positive
      gastric cancer. The primary goal is to confirm its adverse effects including cytokine storm
      response and any other adverse effects. In addition, tumor targeting and disease status after
      treatment will also be evaluated.
