Brief Summary

Tumor organoids and TILs (and/or peripheral T cells) cultures will be established from fresh tissure of lung cancer and other solid tumors. Coculture will be utilized to screen tumor-responsive T cells which are further selected for monoclonal expansion and TCR cloning for engineered reconstitution of TCR-T cells. After verification by multiple in vitro and in vivo studies, a large number of TCR-T cells will be introduced back into the patients via vein, artery or fine needle punctured to the tumor, or combinations. In this phase I study, the safety, tolerance and preliminary efficacy of the TCR-T cell immunotherapy on human will firstly be assessed.
