Experimental: LIGHT-PSMA-CART
Patients undergo leukapheresis. Patients then receive cyclophosphamide and fludarabine on days -6 to -4. Patients receive LIGH-PSMA-CART IV at split doses from day 0 on.

- Incidence of toxicity graded using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03 [ Time Frame: 28 days ]All adverse events (AEs) will be listed and summarized. Summaries of laboratory data will include, at a minimum, treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities. Summaries of AEs and laboratory abnormalities will be based on the All Treated analysis set.
- PSA response rate [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]proportion of patients with ≥50% PSA decline from baseline at any time point after therapy and maintained for ≥4 weeks
- Radiographic response rate by RECIST 1.1 & PCWG3. [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]Proportion of patients with a best response of either complete response or partial response, assessed using Prostate Cancer Working group3(PCWG3) response criteria &RECIST 1.1.
- Duration time of CART cells in vivo [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]Number of persistent PSMA-CART cells detected by Q-PCR or flow cytometry

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Male |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Fully understand and voluntarily sign informed consent.
- Male, aged 18 to 75 years old.

- CRPC patients: Prostate cancer is still progressing after continuous androgen deprivation therapy. Including, castrate levels of serum testosterone (<50ng/dl or <1.7nmol/L); or prostate specific antigen (PSA) increased more than 50% at intervals of one week or three consecutive times, and PSA>1 ug/L; or imaging scans revealed two or more new lesions or enlargement of soft tissue lesions that met the criteria for evaluating solid tumor response.
- CRPC patients received abiraterone or chemotherapy for 3 months or more, and were ineffective or progressive (PSA continued to rise for 3 months, or bone scan/whole-body MRI/PET-CT showed local recurrence or new metastasis).
- Immunohistochemical staining of repetitive biopsy tissues showed the expression of PSMA in tumor cells was more than 50%.
- ECOG score <2.
- Hgb > 10 g/dl.
- PLT > 100×109/L.
