Clinical Study of Granulocyte Infusion for Advanced Cancer
Clinical Study of Allogeneic Granulocyte Infusion in the Treatment of Patients With Advanced Cancer
Background & Rationale:
For years, most tumor immunotherapy researches have focused on T cell and natural killer (NK) cell therapies, most of which involve amplification and modification of the patient's immune cells for reinfusion therapy. However, for the treatment of solid tumors, there is currently little breakthrough. Recently, researchers have reported a colony of cancer-resistant mice developed from a single mouse that was immune to multiple lethal cancer cell injections. Further research revealed that such anti-cancer immunity can cause rapid shrinkage or disappearance of the tumors in other cancer-bearing mice. Interestingly, this therapeutic effect is due to the donor granulocytes, instead of T cells or NK cells. Infusion of granulocytes is a classic therapy in treating infection associated with granulocytopenia. Currently, clinical collection of blood components, including isolation of granulocytes, is a mature technique. The infusion of granulocytes is a viable anticancer therapy combining the classic technique and novel anticancer approach. This proposed trial will test whether granulocyte infusions from healthy unrelated donors can be used to treat advanced cancer. In the proposed trial, up to 100 Subjects with advanced cancer can be entered. Each patient will be given a dose of (2.0-5.0)x10^10 granulocytes from a different healthy donor every week over a course of 5 doses. The trial will evaluate the subject's cancer 7, 30, 90 and 180 days after the last infusion.

Genders Eligible for Study
Description
Inclusion Criteria for Subjects:
- Malignant tumor confirmed by puncture pathology/postoperative pathology;
- Clinical stage IV;
- Performance status of ≤2 on the ECOG scale
- Life expectancy of at least 3 months
- All patients was diagnosed metastatic tumor by histology and cytology. Cytoreductive surgery can be performed if the patient can endure surgery.
- Measurable Disease: Lesions that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter recorded) as 20 mm with conventional technique or as 10 mm with spiral CT scan.If the lesion is between 15mm and 20mm, the thickness of the CT layer should be no more than 0.5mm. For multiple lesions, select a representative 10 lesions (maximum 5 in the same organ) and calculate the sum of the longest diameters of all target lesions as the baseline sum diameter.
- ≥ 4 weeks since prior medical therapy, radiation therapy, and surgery
- Laboratory tests meet the following criteria:
A. Bone marrow function: Absolute blood neutrophil (ANC) count ≥1*10^9 /L, blood small (PLT) ≥75*10^9 /L.
B. Liver function: serum total bilirubin (STB), combined bilirubin (CB) ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN) * 1.5, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ULN*2.5 (in the absence of liver metastases), or ≤ULN*5 (with liver metastases);
C. Renal function: serum creatinine (Cr) ≤ ULN * 1.5, endogenous creatinine clearance (Ccr) ≥ 50 mL / min (calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula, see Appendix 2);
- The anti-neutrophil antibody test result was negative.
- The patient volunteered and signed an informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria of Subjects:
