• Lead Sponsor: Chongqing Precision Biotech Co., Ltd

Brief Summary

This is a phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CAR-T in patients with CD70-positive advanced/metastatic solid tumors, and to obtain the maximum tolerated dose of CAR-T and phase II Recommended dose.

Detailed Description

This is a single-center, double-arm, open-label study.
