- 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 2 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.Interleukin-2 (IL-2) will be given in the following 5 days, 720000 international unit（IU）/Kg/ day (if tolerant). Patients will receive a total of 2, 3, 4 cycles of treatment.

- Peripheral blood lymphocytes will be collected and Programmed cell death protein 1(PDCD1) gene will not be knocked out by CRISPR Cas9 in the laboratory (PD-1 Wild-type 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 2 x 10\^7/kg PD-1 wild-type 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. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) will be given in the following 5 days, 720000 international unit（IU）/Kg/day (if tolerant).
