Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female patients, ≥ 18 years of age

3. Measurable disease based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1

4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2

5. Life expectancy of at least 2 months

6. Platelets > 50,000/µl

7. Hemoglobin > 9 g/dl

8. Adequate renal and hepatic laboratory assessments

9. Adequate pulmonary function with oxygen saturation (SpO2) > 89 % and no structural pulmonary disease which might jeopardize patient safety according to judgement of the investigator

10. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≥ 45 %

11. Existing port-system or central venous catheter resp. acceptance of implantation of a device

A female of childbearing potential may be enrolled providing she has a negative pregnancy test at screening visit and is routinely using a highly effective method of birth control resulting in a low failure rate (e.g. hormonal contraception, intrauterine device, total sexual abstinence or sterilization) until 3 months from the last study drug administration. Male patients must also practice a highly effective method of birth Control

13. Able to give written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Other malignancy requiring active therapy

2. Non-measurable tumor disease

6. Other investigational drug within the past 4 weeks before start of trial medication

7. Patients undergoing renal dialysis

8. Pulmonary disease with clinical relevant hypoxia

9. Evidence of active, non-infectious pneumonitis or history of interstitial lung disease

10. Cardiac disease: i.e. heart failure NYHA (New York Heart Association) III or IV, unstable coronary artery disease

11. Active central nervous disease (e.g. Parkinson, multiple sclerosis, seizures) and stroke within last 6 months

12. Active gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding within the last 6 months unless related to underlying malignant disease

13. Renal outflow obstruction, macroscopic or significant microscopic hematuria

14. Active infectious diseases considered by investigator to be incompatible with protocol

15. Major surgery within 28 days

16. Autoimmune diseases requiring steroids at a dose above 10 mg prednisolone equivalent or other immunosuppressants

17. Pregnant or breastfeeding women

18. Psychiatric disorders, drug and/or alcohol abuse

19. Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or active/chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) or hepatitis B virus (HBV)

20. Known hypersensitivity to GEM3PSCA excipients

21. Evidence suggesting that the patient is not likely to follow the study protocol (e.g. lacking compliance)

22. Incapability of understanding purpose and possible consequences of the trial

23. Patients who should not be included according to the opinion of the investigator
