About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Stage IV focused on measuring Immune Cell Therapy, IKC
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age≧20 years old
- Life expectancy≧3 months
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology group (ECOG) score 0~2
- Cytologically-or histologically-confirmed non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)
- Patients with clinical TNM classification of Malignant Tumours (TNM) stage IV...
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with history of cardiovascular disease, including uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, coronary artery disease, uncontrolled arrhythmia , previous history of encephalopathy within the past six months of screening period
- Patients with HIV, HTLV or active tuberculosis
- Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding
- Patients with drug or other substance abuse
- Patients with any other major disease, serious organ failure or patients unfit for participating in the trial (by the investigator's judgment)
Sites / Locations
- Taipei Veterans General Hospital
- Tri Service General Hospital

Experimental
Arm Label
Study Group
Arm Description
26 patients who has successfully undergone the screening criteria will be enrolled for treatment. Immune Killer Cells (IKC) will be administered through Intravenous Injection (I.V.) Frequency: One injection per week, twenty-four injections on-treatment
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
The length of time during and after the treatment of a disease, that a patient lives with the disease but it does not get worse
Secondary Outcome Measures
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety]
Adverse Events (AE) and Serious Adverse Events (SAE) according to National Cancer Institute Criteria for Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03 (NCI CTCAE v4.03) will be recorded and evaluated for their relationship to the treatment
Quality of Life (QOL)
The assessment will be performed using The World Heath Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL)
This questionnaire produces a quality of life profile. It is possible to derive four domain scores. The four domain scores denote an individual's perception of quality of life in each particular domain (1. Physical health 2. Psychological 3. Social relationships 4. Enviromental) Domain scores are scaled in a positive direction (i.e. higher scores denote higher quality of life).
The mean score of items within each domain is used to calculate the domain score (min: 0 max: 100)
Domain scores are then calculated (divide domain score by 4) to produce a final QOL Score (i.e. higher scores denote higher quality of life min: 0 max:100).

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
In this study, whole blood is drawn from the patient to be used to grow Immune Killer Cells (IKC). After proliferation, the IKC will be infused back into the patient to treat the cancer for a total of 24 weekly treatments.
Possible adverse reaction can include slight fever and headache.
