NKG2D/CLDN18.2 CAR-T(KD-496) in the Treatment of Advanced NKG2DL+/CLDN18.2+ Solid Tumors

This is a Phase 1, single-arm, single-center, open-label study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of NKG2D/CLDN18.2-based CAR-T cells infusion in the treatment of advanced NKG2DL+/CLDN18.2+ solid tumors.

This is an open-label, dose escalation/expansion study to assess the safety,tolerability, and efficacy of KD-496 cell infusion in patients with advanced NKG2DL+/CLDN18.2+ solid tumors. In this study, the enrollment of the patients must meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All subjects will be undergo screening, pre-treatment (cell product preparation, lymphodepleting chemotherapy), treatment and follow up.
