Brief summary: This is a phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CAR-T in patients with advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma, and to obtain the maximum tolerated dose of CAR-T and phase II Recommended dose.

Detailed description: This is a single-center, single-arm, open-label study. Intravenous infusion group have 4 dose groups, adopting a dose-escalating 3+3 design, and plan to recruit about 12 subjects with CD70-positive advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma in Dose discovery phase and 12 subjects in dose expansion phase.

Measurable and evaluable lesions specified by RECIST version 1.1: Measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured on at least one level (long diameter needs to be recorded); ), each lesion must be \>10mm when measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), The lymph node must be \>15mm in the short axis;
