PD-1 Knockout Engineered T Cells for Advanced Esophageal Cancer

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Esophageal Cancer
Registration Number
NCT03081715
Lead Sponsor
Hangzhou Cancer Hospital
Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the safety of PD-1 knockout engineered T cells in treating advanced esophageal cancer. Blood or tissue samples will also be collected for research purposes.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective clinical study of ex-vivo selected, engineered, and expanded PD-1 knockout T cells from autologous origin. 16 advanced esophageal cancer patients are planned to receive two cycles of PD-1 knockout engineered T cells infusion. Immunological markers are analyzed as well.
