Experimental: Test group
Peripheral blood lymphocytes will be collected and Programmed cell death protein 1(PDCD1) gene will be knocked out by CRISPR Cas9 in the laboratory (PD-1 Knockout T cells). The lymphocytes will be selected and expanded ex vivo and infused back into patients. Cyclophosphamide at 20mg/kg single dose will be administered 3 days i.v. before cell infusion. A total of 2 x 10^7/kg PD-1 Knockout T cells 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 in the following 5 days, 720000 international unit(IU)/Kg/day (if tolerant). Patients will receive a total of 2, 3, 4 cycles of treatment.

Biological: PD-1 Knockout T Cells
PD-1 Knockout T Cells and PD-1 wild-type T Cells will be made by Cell Biotech Co., Ltd. 2x107/kg T cells will be used for test group and comparable group separately. Drug: Cyclophosphamide Cyclophosphamide at 20mg/kg single dose will be administered 3 days i.v. before cell infusion. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) will be given in the following 5 days, 720000 international unit(IU)/Kg/day (if tolerant). Other Name: cytophosphane Drug: IL-2 Interleukin-2 (IL-2) will be given in the following 5 days after cell infusion, 720000 international unit(IU)/Kg/day (if tolerant).
Other Name: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) |
Placebo Comparator: Comparable group
Peripheral blood lymphocytes will be collected and Programmed cell death protein 1(PDCD1) gene will not be knocked out by CRISPR Cas9 in the laboratory (PD-1 Wild-type T cells). The lymphocytes will be selected and expanded ex vivo and infused back into patients. Cyclophosphamide at 20mg/kg single dose will be administered 3 days i.v. before cell infusion. A total of 2 x 10^7/kg PD-1 Knockout T cells 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 in the following 5 days, 720000 international unit(IU)/Kg/day (if tolerant). |

- Number of participants with Adverse Events and/or Dose Limiting Toxicities as a Measure of Safety and tolerability of dose of PD-1 Knockout T cells using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.0) in patients [ Time Frame: Dose Escalation - Approximately 6 months ]
- Response Rate:Response will be evaluated according to RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
- Progression free survival - PFS [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to average 10 months ]
- Overall Survival - OS [ Time Frame: The time from randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 2 years ]
- Peripheral blood circulating tumor DNA [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]Peripheral circuiting tumor DNA is collected at baseline and 6 weeks after last treatment
- Temporal Interleukin-2 change in the peripheral blood [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 month and 3 months ]
- Temporal Interferon-γ change in the peripheral blood [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 month and 3 months ]
- Temporal Interleukin-6 change in the peripheral blood [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 month and 3 months ]
