Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: SZ003 CAR-NK

Biological: SZ003 CAR-NK
Drug: SZ003 CAR-NK In the escalation study, the minimum initial dose was 5.0×10^6 cells, then increased to 1.0×10^8 ,2.0×10^8 and5.0×10^8 cells. The infusion is given every 2 weeks.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Adverse Events (AEs) [Up to 6 months after infusion]

    To evaluate the safety of SZ003 CAR-NK Cells

  2. Objective response rate (ORR) [Up to 6 months after infusion]

    To evaluate the ORR of SZ003 CAR-NK Cells

  3. Overall survival (OS) [Up to 6 months after infusion]

    To determine the anti-tumor effectivity of SZ003 CAR-NK Cells
