Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of participants with adverse events and dose limiting toxicities as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Safety and tolerability of dose of CART-cells and PD-1 Knockout T cells will be assessed using CTCAE v4.0.

    approximately 12 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Response Rate

    12 months

  • Overall Survival - OS

    Up to 24 months

  • Progression free survival - PFS

    Up to 12 months

  • Median CAR-T cell persistence

    3 years

Study Arms (3)

Treatment with Anti-MUC1 CAR-T cells

EXPERIMENTAL

Anti-MUC1 CAR-T cells will be prepared ex vivo using the T cells from the patients and infused back to the patients.

Biological: Anti-MUC1 CAR-T cells

Combination Therapy: CAR-T combining PD-1 knockout T Cells

EXPERIMENTAL

Anti-MUC1 CAR-T cells and PD-1 knockout Engineered T cells will be prepared ex vivo using the T cells from the patients and infused back to the patients.

Combination Product: CAR-T combined with PD-1 Knockout T cells

Treatment with PD-1 knockout Engineered T cells

EXPERIMENTAL

PD-1 knockout Engineered T cells will be prepared ex vivo using the T cells from the patients and infused back to the patients.

Biological: PD-1 knockout Engineered T cells

Interventions

Using the T cells from the patients' blood to produce anti-MUC1 CAR-T Cells and then the cells will be infused back to the patients.

Treatment with Anti-MUC1 CAR-T cells

Using the T cells from the blood of the patients to prepare PD-1 knockout T cells, then the cells will be infused back to the patients.

Treatment with PD-1 knockout Engineered T cells

Using the T cells from the blood of the patients to prepare anti-MUC1 CAR-T Cells and PD-1 knockout T cells, then the cells will be infused back to the patients

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Confirmed diagnosis of advanced esophageal cancer (phase IIIb-IV) according to NCCN clinical practice guidelines in Oncology:Esophageal and Esophagogastric Junction Cancers (2018.V1).
  • MUC1 is highly expressed in malignancy tissues by immuno-histochemical (IHC).
  • Eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1 or karnofsky performance status (KPS) score is higher than 60.
  • Patients have a life expectancy \> 12 weeks.
  • Adequate venous access for apheresis or venous sampling, and no other contraindications for leukapheresis.
  • Negative pregnancy test for females of child-bearing potentials.
  • Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements: White blood cell count (WBC) ≥ 2500c/ml, Platelets ≥ 50×10\^9/L, Hb ≥ 9.0g/dL, lymphocyte (LY) ≥ 0.7×10\^9/L, LY% ≥ 15%, Alb ≥ 2.8g/dL, serum lipase and amylase \< 1.5×upper limit of normal, serum creatinine ≤ 2.5mg/dL, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 5×upper limit of normal, serum total bilirubin ≤ 2.0mg/dL. These tests must be conducted within 7 days prior to registration.
  • Signed informed consent form.

You may not qualify if:

  • Number of T cells is less than 10% or the amplification of the T cells via artificial antigen presenting cell (aAPC) stimulation is less than 5 times.
  • Patients with symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) involvement.
  • Pregnant or nursing women.
  • Known HIV, HBV and HCV infection.
  • Serious illness or medical condition which would not permit the patient to be managed according to the protocol, including active uncontrolled infection, major cardiovascular, coagulation disorders, respiratory or immune system, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmias, obstructive/restrictive pulmonary disease, or psychiatric or emotional disorders.
  • History of severe immediate hypersensitivity to any of the agents including cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, or aldesleukin.
  • Previously treatment with any gene therapy products.
  • The existence of unstable or active ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding. Patients with portal vein vascular invasion or extrahepatic, are excluded from this study.
  • Patients with a history of organ transplantation or are waiting for organ transplantation.
