  • Able to understand the study requirements and considerations and provide informed consent to participate in the clinical study in accordance with the study requirements
  • Subjects agree to use effective contraceptive measures for at least 6 months following dendritic cell (DC) injection.

Exclusion criteria

  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding;
  • Positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody or syphilis antibody; positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), positive for hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) or hepatitis B e antibody (anti-HBe) with hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA copy number above the lower limit of detection (LLOD) or ≥ 1000 copies/mL; or hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA copy number above the LLOD;
  • Prior treatment with any dendritic cell (DC) or other immune cell therapy;
  • History of hypersensitivity to immunotherapy and related drugs, or history of severe allergic reactions;
  • Uncontrolled active infection;
  • Subjects with active autoimmune disease receiving relevant treatment; subjects with organ transplantation who are still on immunosuppressive agents; or subjects requiring long-term use of immunosuppressive agents (> 15 mg/day prednisone or equivalent glucocorticoid dose) and who have used them within 4 weeks prior to screening;
  • Presence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases and clinically significant CNS diseases;
  • Received systemic anti-tumor therapy within 4 weeks prior to screening;
  • Presence of residual lesions or unremoved foci on screening examinations (post-adjuvant chemotherapy / post-surgery), with imaging indicating local recurrence or confirmed distant metastasis;
  • History of other active malignancies within 5 years (excluding cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, etc.);

  • c) Severe arrhythmia requiring pharmacotherapy
  • d) Uncontrolled hypertension
  • e) Myocardial infarction or ventricular arrhythmia within 6 months prior to screening;
  • Any other conditions deemed by the investigator to render the subject ineligible for participation in the clinical study

Treatment and study plan

Armored Dendritic Cell Injection

Biological

Armored dendritic cells are administered via multiple subcutaneous injections.

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose

    Time frame: Day 0-Month 5

  2. Evaluate the incidence and severity of adverse events

    Time frame: Day 0-Month 24

    Adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and laboratory abnormalities (including their types, frequencies and severity) will be collected. This includes the types, incidence and severity of adverse events, as well as clinically significant abnormal laboratory test results and abnormal physical examination findings that emerge after treatment. Clinical and laboratory adverse events will be primarily graded using Version 6.0 of the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE). The causal relationship between adverse events and the dendritic cell (DC) product will be assessed by investigators in accordance with the causality evaluation criteria specified in the study protocol.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Cmax

    Time frame: day 0-day28

  2. antigen-specific T-cell responses

    Time frame: day 0-Month 5

  3. RFS

    Time frame: day 0-Month 24

    1- and 2-year recurrence-free survival rates (RFS)

  4. Tmax

    Time frame: day 0- day 28

  5. Tlast

    Time frame: day 0-day 28

  6. concentration of tumor markers

    Time frame: day 0-month 5
