What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Incidence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)	DLT is defined as a toxic effect in the subject at any dose, cannot be reasonably attributed to the subject's underlying disease, other conditions, and/or concomitants, that the investigator determines to be related (including definitely, likely, or possibly) to the XS005 cell injection.	within 7 days after the the first infusion of XS005.
Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs)	AE is defined as any adverse medical event within 4 months after the the first infusion of XS005.	4 months
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)	MTD is defined as the highest dose level of less than or equal to 2 DLT among the 6 subjects finally determined.	within 7 days after the the first infusion of XS005.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Progression-free survival (PFS)	PFS : defined as the time from the start of treatment until the onset of tumor progression or death from any cause;	From the start of treatment until the time of first disease progression or death , assessed up to 12 months post-treatment

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
