Experimental: EGFR+NK+
The EGFR mutation positive patients were with the principles of randomized and NK cells treatment.
|
Biological: NK cells
NK cells were generated in good manufacturing practice (GMP) condition. In brief, PBMCs were isolated from 50mL patient's blood with Ficoll-Hypaque(Morecell Biomedical Co. Ltd., Shenzhen, China). Then the Human NK Cell Culture Kit (Cat. No. MCF-004, Morecell Biomedical Co. Ltd., Shenzhen, China) and Serum-free Medium for NK Cells (MCM-002, Morecell Biomedical Co. Ltd., Shenzhen, China) was used for induction of NK cells according to the manufacturer's instructions. Three days before NK cell transfusion, the NK cells were sampled and sent to detect the NK cell quality. Other Name: randomized |
No Intervention: EGFR+NK-
The EGFR mutation positive patients were with the principles of randomized and without NK cells treatment .

- Clinical response [ Time Frame: Calculated the sum area of all tumors 3 months after NK treatment ]Based on the Response Evaluation Criteria Solid Tumors (RECIST), the therapeutic effect was divided into complete response (CR), partial response (PR),stable disease (SD), progressive disease (PD). Investigators calculated the sum area of all tumors 3 months after NK treatment. The recent curative effect must have been maintainedat >4 weeks; CR + PR denoted the effective response rate (RR).
- Detection of immune function [ Time Frame: Before and 3 months after NK cell therapy ]Patients were detected Lymphocyte subgroups of 1ml peripheral blood by Flow cytometer (BD FACSCalibur), which inclunde the T cell number, CD4T cell number, CD8 T cell number and NK cell number.
- Analysis of tumor biomarker CEA and CA125 levels in serum [ Time Frame: Before and 3 months after NK cell therapy ]
Patients were detected the Serum Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA125 level by Elisa kit.Investigators compared the level of CEA and CA125 in serum before and 3 months after NK cell therapy to perform the therapeutic evaluation.
factor to identify patients tumor recurrence.We then compared the level of CEA and CA125 in serum before and 3 months after NK cell therapy to perform the therapeutic evaluation.
- The endpoints of interest were progression-free survival (PFS). [ Time Frame: The KPS scores were collected pre-treatment and at 12 months post-treatment. ]
Investigators evaluated the Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) according to the comprehensive assessment of clinical activity, disease level, and self-care ability.
