Title: Single-center, open clinical study on the efficacy and safety of c-Met/PD-L1 T cell injection in the treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma
Stage: Phase I clinical trial
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of c-Met/PD-L1 CAR-T cells in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma
Object: patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma
Sample size: 50 cases
Number of centres:1
Study design: CT, MRI, PET and blood biochemical tests were performed before treatment to evaluate the state of HCC. Peripheral blood of the patient was extracted and PBMC was isolated. CAR-T cells were obtained by tranducing PBMC with c-Met/PD-L1 CAR lentivirus, and the proliferation capacity and immune phenotype of the cells were tested. After passing the inspection, the cells were re-injected into the patient three times. The efficacy and safety of c-Met/PD-L1 CAR-T cells was assessed respectively at 4 week, 12 week, 24 week and 48 week after treatment.
Trial product: c-Met/PD-L1 CAR-T cells
Course of treatment: 3 days for a course of treatment, only one course of treatment. A second course is given as appropriate if the treatment is beneficial to the patient.

- The efficacy of c-Met/PD-L1 CAR-T cells in the treatment of HCC [ Time Frame: 6 months after treatment ]assessing the efficacy of c-Met/PD-L1 CAR-T cells through overall survival
- the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events of c-Met/PD-L1 T cell injection in the treatment of HCC [ Time Frame: 6 months after treatment ]the level 3 or level 4 adverse reactions according to CTCAE V4.03 standard
- The amplification and persistence of c-Met/PD-L1 CAR-T cell in the subjects varied with time [ Time Frame: 6 months after treatment ]The amplification level of c-Met/PD-L1 CAR-T cells varied with time and the duration of anti-c-met/pd-l1 CAR-T cells in the subjects
