Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study will evaluate the safety of PD-1 knockout engineered T cells in treating metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Blood samples will also be collected for research purposes.

- A - Two cycles
- description
- Peripheral blood lymphocytes will be collected and Programmed cell death protein 1(PDCD1) gene will be knocked out by CRISPR Cas9 in the laboratory (PD-1 Knockout T cells). The lymphocytes will be selected and expanded ex vivo and infused back into patients. Cyclophosphamide at 20mg/kg single dose will be administered 3 days i.v. before cell infusion. A total of 1 x 10\^7/kg PD-1 Knockout T cells will be infused in one cycle. Each cycle is divided into three administrations, with 20% infused in the first administration, 30% in the second, and the remaining 50% in the third. Patients will receive a total of two cycles of treatment.
