About this trial

This single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CEA-targeted CAR-T cells and to obtain their pharmacokinetic profile in patients with advanced colorectal cancer and peritoneal metastases after cytoreductive surgery; the recommended dose will then be derived from these data.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Aged ≥18 years and ≤75 years at the time of informed consent signing.

Pathologically confirmed colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases.

Patients who have failed standard treatments (disease progression or intolerance, e.g., failure of oxaliplatin, irinotecan, fluorouracil, etc.) or have no effective treatment options.

Underwent cytoreductive surgery for peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer, with cytoreduction completeness (CC) score of CC-0 to CC-2. Postoperative recovery is good, without severe postoperative complications. A baseline enhanced whole-abdominal CT scan (within 1 week before or after 1 month post-surgery) shows no distant metastases outside the peritoneum (e.g., liver, lung, bone, brain).

Disqualifiers

Unwilling to sign the informed consent form.

Received or are currently receiving anti-tumor drug therapy within 2 weeks prior to enrollment, except for perioperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

Clinically confirmed active or uncontrolled bacterial, fungal, or viral infections.

Have other uncured malignant tumors, except for carcinoma in situ of the lung, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or basal cell carcinoma of the skin.

Secondary outcomes

1

Peritoneal Progression-Free Survival(PPFS) of CEA CAR-T treatment in advanced colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases following cytoreductive surgery [Effectiveness]

Time frame
2 years
2

Progression-Free Survival(PFS) of CEA CAR-T treatment in advanced colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases following cytoreductive surgery [Effectiveness]

PFS will be assessed from the first CEA-CAR-T cell infusion to death from any cause or the first assessment of progression(Assessed based on RECIST criteria)

Time frame
2 years
3

OS will be assessed from the first CEA-CAR-T cell infusion to death from any cause (Assessed by investigators based on IRECIST criteria)

Time frame
2 years
4

Disease Recurrence/Metastasis Rate of CEA CAR-T treatment in advanced colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases following cytoreductive surgery [Effectiveness]

The proportion of patients who experience disease recurrence or metastasis within a specified time period after CAR-T cell infusion.

Time frame
2 years
