Brief summary: The main purpse of this study is to evaluate the safety of KSD-101 in patients with EBV-associated Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma,to evaluate the initial clinical outcomes and evaluate the immune response to KSD-101 for the treatment in Patients with EBV-associated Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

Detailed description: This is a single-center, single-arm, open, multiple-dose clinical study evaluating the safety, preliminary efficacy, and immune response of KSD-101 for the treatment of patients with EBV-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Approximately 120 mL of PBMCs is collected from subjects. The collected PBMCs are transported to the manufacturing facility for the preparation of KSD-101. Subjects return to the study site for subsequent visits at investigator-notified times.

1. KSD-101 route of administration: subcutaneous injection.
2. KSD-101 treatment dose: 5.0 × 10\^6 cells/dose.
3. KSD-101 treatment frequency: once every 2 weeks for a total of 3-5 times. The 4th and 5th times are booster treatments, which need to be decided by the investigator according to the condition of the subjects.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients or their legal guardian voluntarily participate and sign an informed consent form.
2. Female or emale patients aged 18-70 years (inclusive of the cut-off value) on the date of signing the informed consent.
3. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma confirmed by pathological tissue examination and EBER-positive in tumor tissue by in situ hybridization (ISH or FISH).
4. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma with localized recurrence or localized recurrence with systemic metastasis, or primary metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma unsuitable for localized or radical treatment, for which there is no effective treatment and which is seriously life-threatening.
5. At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST v1.1 criteria.
6. An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 to 1.
7. Have criteria for single or venous blood collection and have no other contraindications to cell collection.
8. Patients' laboratory findings are compatible:

(1)Blood routine: neutrophils ≥ 1.5×10\^9/L, hemoglobin ≥ 90g/L, platelets ≥ 100×10\^9/L.

(2)Liver function: ALT, AST ≤ 3 × ULN and total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN. (3)Renal function: creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN. (4)Cardiac function: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 40%. (5)Coagulation function: fibrinogen ≥ 1.0g/L, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN.

9.Patients' corresponding lymph node region can accommodate subcutaneous injections.

10.Expected survival ≥ 3 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients receiving any anti-tumor therapy such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunosuppressive therapy, etc. within 4 weeks prior to mono-collection.
2. Women who are pregnant (positive urine/blood pregnancy test), breastfeeding, or men or women who are planning to conceive within the last 1 year.
3. Active hepatitis B (HbsAg or HbcAb positive and HBV DNA ≥100 IU/mL), active hepatitis C (HCV antibody positive and peripheral blood HCV RNA positive); human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive; syphilis test positive.
4. Patients with central nervous system pathology (e.g., cerebral edema, need for hormonal intervention, or progression of brain metastases).
5. Patients with uncontrollable infectious disease within 4 weeks prior to enrollment, or with active tuberculosis or on anti-tuberculosis therapy. (\< CTCAE grade 2 genitourinary infections and upper respiratory tract infections, except EBV infections).
6. Patients have a serious underlying disease (cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, renal insufficiency, coagulation abnormality, autoimmune disease or immunodeficiency disease, etc.).
7. Other active malignant tumors within the past 3 years, unless they are curable tumors and have been significantly cured, such as basal or squamous cell carcinoma, carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix or breast.
8. Subjects who have undergone major surgery or severe trauma within 4 weeks prior to enrollment or are expected to require major surgical intervention (i.e., surgery requiring the assistance of endotracheal anesthesia) during the study period.
9. Patients have received a prophylactic live or live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to screening.
10. Patients have participated in another clinical study within 4 weeks prior to screening.
11. Patients with a prior history of severe drug allergy, or penicillin allergy.
12. Patients have substance abuse/addiction. 13,Patients have other conditions that, in the judgment of the investigator, make enrollment inappropriate.
