Brief Summary
This is an open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation Phase I clinical study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic profile, and preliminary efficacy of NK Cell Injection in patients with advanced solid tumors. Eligible participants who have signed written informed consent will be screened and, if qualified, assigned a enrollment number and sequentially assigned to the designated dose group. The study employs a traditional "3+3" dose-escalation design. Each dose group enrolls at least 3 participants, with each participant receiving only one corresponding dose level, until the MTD or RP2D is determined. The study consists of four periods: Screening Period, Treatment Period (including lymphodepleting chemotherapy), Safety Follow-up Period, and Survival Follow-up Period.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)
Incidence of DLT assessed during the single-infusion DLT observation period (14 days post single infusion) and the multiple-infusion DLT observation period (first cycle, 21 days). DLT is defined per the protocol-specified DLT criteria.
Up to 21 days post first infusion
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D)
MTD defined as the highest dose level at which ≤33% of DLT-evaluable participants experience DLT, per protocol-specified dose-escalation rules. RP2D determined based on safety, PK, and preliminary activity across completed dose levels.
Estimated up to 24 months from first enrollment
Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)
All-cause AEs and SAEs, including clinically significant laboratory abnormalities, graded per NCI-CTCAE v6.0. Severity classified by CTCAE grade; relationship to study treatment assessed by investigator.
From first infusion through end of safety follow-up (approximately 30 days after last infusion)
Secondary Outcomes (8)
Objective Response Rate
Every 6 weeks thereafter up to 24 months.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
From date of first dose until the date of first documented progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to approximately 24 months
Duration of Response
From date of first documented response until the date of first documented progression or death, assessed up to approximately 24 months.
Disease Control Rate
every 6 weeks thereafter up to 24 months
Overall Survival (OS)
From date of first dose until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to approximately 2 years.
- +3 more secondary outcomes
Other Outcomes (3)
Pharmacokinetic Parameters-Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
Up to 21 days post each infusion
Immunogenicity
From baseline (C0D1; pre-dose) to the end-of-treatment visit,up to approximately 24 months.
Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax)
Up to 21 days post each infusion
Study Arms (1)
Dose-escalation Phase I clinical study
EXPERIMENTALGroup 1: 2 x 10\^9 cells/dose Group 2: 4 x 10\^9 cells/dose Group 3: 8 x 10\^9 cells/dose Optional higher dose group: 1 x 10\^10 cells/dose (if safety is well-tolerated within the 2-8 x 10\^9 cells/dose range, upon SRC assessment after completion of the 8 x 10\^9 cells/dose DLT observation period). Each dose group must include at least 1 female participant.
Interventions
Allogeneic natural killer (NK) cell therapy (non-genetically modified)
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age 18 to 75 years (inclusive), regardless of sex;
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumor;

- Serum creatinine \<= 1.5 x ULN;
- PT, APTT, INR \< 1.5 x ULN;
- ECOG performance status 0-1;
- Expected survival \>= 3 months;
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to cell infusion, and must agree to use reliable contraception during the study and for 6 months after cell infusion; male participants with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use reliable contraception during the study and for 6 months after cell infusion;
- Willing to participate voluntarily and sign the informed consent form (ICF), and able to comply with follow-up requirements.
You may not qualify if:
- Other malignancies within 5 years prior to screening (except completely resolved carcinoma in situ and malignancies judged by the investigator to be slow-progressing);
- History of leptomeningeal metastasis or CNS metastasis, or definite CNS underlying disease with significant residual symptoms within 6 months prior to cell infusion (asymptomatic brain metastasis or stable symptoms after treatment without corticosteroid use may be allowed);
- Clinically symptomatic moderate to severe third-space effusion requiring therapeutic drainage (except for minimal effusion on imaging without clinical symptoms);
- Severe cardiovascular disease history, including but not limited to: severe arrhythmia or conduction abnormalities requiring clinical intervention; QTcF \> 450 ms (male) or \> 470 ms (female); acute coronary syndrome, congestive heart failure, aortic dissection, stroke, or other \>= Grade 3 cardiovascular events within 6 months prior to screening; NYHA functional classification \>= II or LVEF \< 50%; uncontrolled hypertension (SBP \>= 160 mmHg and/or DBP \>= 100 mmHg);
- Any active infection (viral, bacterial, fungal) currently under treatment, or any infection requiring \>= 7 days of IV antibiotics within the past 6 weeks, or any active infection requiring oral antibiotics within the past 1 week;
- Active autoimmune disease or history of severe autoimmune disease requiring long-term immunosuppressive therapy;
- Allergy to lymphodepleting chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, fludarabine) and/or any component of the study product;
- Prior treatment with other cell therapy products (e.g., DC, CIK, T cells, NK cells, CAR-T, etc.) other than the study product;
- Received other anti-tumor treatment (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, interventional therapy, or Chinese patent medicine with anti-tumor indications) within 4 weeks prior to infusion;
- Participated in other clinical trials within 3 months prior to infusion;
- Toxicity or complications from prior intervention or treatment not resolved to Grade 2 or below (except alopecia and \<= Grade 2 peripheral sensory neuropathy);
- Untreated chronic active hepatitis B, or chronic HBV carrier with HBV DNA \>= 1000 copies/mL; HCV antibody positive and HCV-RNA positive; HIV antibody positive; Treponema pallidum antibody positive;
- Other severe organic diseases or psychiatric disorders;
- Pregnant or lactating women;
