Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Must have documented CEA+ carcinomatosis or malignant ascites as demonstrated by an elevated serum CEA level (≥ 10 ng/mL) or immunohistochemistry on a biopsy or cytologic specimen (archived tissue is acceptable), for determination of CEA expression. Primary tumor may be intact and limited liver and/or lung disease permitted.
  • Must have at least evaluable disease by physical examination, serum tumor markers, radiologic assessment, tumor markers, or laparoscopic visual assessment.
  • Have a life-expectancy ≥ 12 weeks and ECOG performance status ≤ 2.
  • May have low volume of liver metastases defined as \< 50% replacement of the liver volume by metastatic disease, as long as all other eligibility criteria are satisfied.
  • Be willing and able to comply with the study schedule and all other protocol requirements.

You may not qualify if:

  • Female patients of childbearing age will be tested for pregnancy. Pregnant patients will be excluded from the study. Males who are actively seeking to have children will be made aware of the unknown risks of this study protocol on human sperm and the need to practice birth control.
  • Received an investigational study drug within 14 days of leukapheresis or 28 days before receiving first dose of study drug. Exceptions may be granted with medical monitor approval.
  • Received any approved anticancer medication within 14 days of leukapheresis or 14 days before receiving the first dose of study drug. Exceptions may be granted with medical monitor approval.
  • Have any unresolved toxicity \> Grade 2 from previous anticancer therapy, except for stable chronic toxicities (≤ Grade 3) that are not expected to resolve.
  • Have a history of histologically confirmed metastases outside the peritoneal cavity, lungs, or liver.
  • Have high volume lung or liver metastases, defined as \>5 lung lesions greater than 1 cm in size or ≥ 50% replacement the liver volume by metastatic disease.
  • Received CAR-T, CAR-T cell line, CAR-NK, CAR-pNK, or CAR-NK cell line therapies.
  • Have any of the following laboratory results at Screening (Screening volumes must be independent of blood product treatment):
  • Hemoglobin ≤ 8.0 g/dL
  • Platelet count \< 50 × 109/L
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \< 1.0 × 109/L
  • Untreated or ongoing intra-abdominal infection or bowel obstruction.
  • Have any of the following laboratory results at Screening, regardless of causality:
  • Serum creatinine ≥ 3.0, or estimated creatinine clearance ≤ 30 mL/min and not dialysis dependent
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≥ 4 × upper limit of normal (ULN) and total bilirubin ≥ 2.0 mg/dL (except for patients in whom hyperbilirubinemia is attributed to Gilbert's syndrome).
  • +6 more criteria
