Exclusion Criteria

1. Primary Exclusion Criteria (Screening criteria)

• Subjects diagnosed with ventricular seeding, spinal drop metastasis, or leptomeningeal metastasis from radiologic testing obtained at screening

• Subjects with findings of immunodeficiency, autoimmune disease (e.g.; rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis, multiple sclerosis, etc.) or inflammatory disease

• Subjects with significant active cardiovascular disease including the following

• Uncontrolled hypertension (SBP >180 mmHg or DBP >110 mmHg), unstable angina, pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular disease, valvular disease, cardiac failure, or myocardial infarction or serious cardiac arrhythmia within the past 6 months

• Subjects with a medical history of malignant tumor other than the study indication within 5 years of screening (however, within 3 years of screening in case of malignant tumor (e.g., appropriately treated cervical carcinoma in situ, basal or squamous cell skin cancer, localized prostate cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ, etc.) with minimal risk of metastasis/recurrence and death)

• Subjects who continuously used systemic immunosuppressants (including but not limited to cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, and thalidomide) other than steroids within 2 weeks of screening

• Subjects on systemic steroids who received a dose exceeding dexamethasone 6 mg/day (or equivalent dose) within 1 week of screening(note that topical steroids, inhaled steroid, and use of transient steroids for prevention of vomiting prior to anticancer agents administration are acceptable)

• Subjects with a history of previously using an immune cell therapy agent

• Subjects with a medical history of severe allergy, anaphylaxis, or other hypersensitivity reaction to the chimeric or humanized antibody or fusion protein

• Subjects who participated in other clinical trial (medicinal product or medical device) within 4 weeks of screening

• Women of childbearing potential and men who have a plan to get pregnant until 3 months after investigational product administration, are not willing to practice appropriate contraception method*, or are not willing to maintain abstinence from sexual intercourse

• Hormonal contraception method, intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS), surgical sterilization of the subject or partner, tubal ligation, double barrier method (a combined use of a barrier method such as a female condom, cervical cap, contraceptive diaphragm, or contraceptive sponge with a male condom), single barrier method combined with spermicide)

• Pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers

• Subjects who are determined by the investigator to be ineligible as subjects of this clinical trial for other reason

2. Secondary Exclusion Criteria (Eligibility Criteria)

• Subjects who are positive to any of the following virus test results at screening

• Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg)

• Hepatitis C virus antibody test (anti-HCV Ab)

• HIV antibody test (anti-HIV)

• Subjects who are determined by the investigator to be ineligible as subjects of this clinical trial for other reason
