ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is an early-stage study testing a new treatment called PD-1-M1-NK cells (YC-T-001) for people with advanced stomach (gastric) or colon (colorectal) cancer. This treatment is being studied to see if it is safe, how it behaves in the body, and whether it might help patients whose cancer has not improved after at least two previous treatments like chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy.

Adults between 18 and 75 years old with confirmed advanced stomach or colon cancer that is growing despite past treatments might be eligible. Participants need to be in generally good health aside from their cancer, be able to provide tumor tissue samples for testing, and have at least one measurable tumor. People with active infections, serious heart problems, or certain other health issues, as well as pregnant or breastfeeding women, cannot join. If accepted, participants will receive this new cell therapy under close medical supervision to monitor safety and effectiveness. This study is not yet recruiting, but it offers hope for patients who have limited treatment options left.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Gender is not limited. Age should be between 18 and 75 years old (including the critical value), and one should be able to understand and voluntarily sign the informed consent form.
• • 2. The ECOG performance status score is 0-1, and the expected survival period is no less than 3 months (judged by the researchers).
• • 3. Advanced gastric cancer or colorectal cancer confirmed by histology, which has failed or been intolerant after at least two lines of standardized systematic treatment (including but not limited to targeted therapy, immunotherapy or chemotherapy), and has been confirmed as disease progression by imaging examination.
• • 4. The subjects should be able to provide tumor tissue samples (archived tumor tissues within one year should be provided as much as possible) (at least 5-10 tumor tissue slices should be provided; if it is a surgical resection specimen, at least 10 slices should be provided). For patients in special circumstances who are unable to provide tissue samples or have less than 5 slices (or less than 10 surgical resection specimen slices), It is necessary to communicate with the partner to determine whether this selection criterion can be exempted. The tumor tissue samples were positive for PDL1+ by immunohistochemical detection.
• • 5. There is at least one measurable lesion (in accordance with the RECIST 1.1 standard)
• 6. Unless otherwise specified, subjects should meet the following conditions before screening and pretreatment. If laboratory test abnormalities occur and do not meet the following standards, a re-examination within one week is allowed. If the standards are still not met, they will not be included:

• • 3. Prothrombin time (PT) ≤1.5×ULN; INR≤1.5×ULN; APTT≤1.5×ULN.
• • 7. No active or uncontrolled central nervous system metastases (Patients with treated brain metastases who have stable symptoms and stable hormone doses for more than 4 weeks can be enrolled).
• • 8. No active infection, including: negative HIV antibody; HBV-DNA and HCV-RNA were negative; Inactive tuberculosis There are no other active infections that require intravenous antibiotic treatment.
• • 9. It was determined by the researchers that lymphocyte clearance therapy could be carried out.
• • 10. If female subjects are fertile, effective contraceptive measures must be taken; Male subjects must take effective contraceptive measures during the treatment period and within 6 months after the treatment.
• • 11. It is capable of performing normal venous blood collection and machine single blood collection, and can establish the venous access required for collection. There are no contraindications for white blood cell collection.
