Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a single-arm, open-label, exploratory clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of Anti-CD70 CAR-T cell injection in patients with CD70-positive Advanced Urologic Neoplasms.
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
This study will include two parts, dose escalation phase (accelerated titration and 3+3 design) followed by a dose expansion phase. All eligible participants will receive a conditioning chemotherapy regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide followed by CAR-T cell injection.
The dose escalation phase will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Anti-CD70 CAR-T cell injection. Additional patients will be enrolled in the dose expansion phase to further characterize the safety profile and evaluate the efficacy of Anti-CD70 CAR-T cell injection, and establish recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
