• ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group)≤2;
• Life expectancy ≥3 months;
• Absolute neutrophil count ≥1×10E9/L;
• Platelet count ≥50×10E9/L, hemoglobin\>90g/dL;
• Absolute lymphocyte count ≥0.5×10E9/L;
• Adequate functional reserve of organs:
• Aspartate aminotransferase ≤2.5×ULN (upper limit of normal);
• Aspartate transaminase ≤2.5×ULN;
• Creatinine clearance ≥60mL/min;
• Total serum bilirubin ≤1.5×UNL;
• The subject has left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% and no clinically significant pericardial effusion diagnosed by echocardiography;

Contraception must include one highly effective and one additional effective (barrier) method, initiated from screening until at least 1 year after IX001 infusion or until two consecutive flow cytometry tests show the absence of TCR-T cells (whichever occurs later).

Exclusion criteria

• Other malignancies (except non-melanoma skin cancer with the disease-free survival of more than 5 years and cervical carcinoma in situ, bladder cancer, or breast cancer);
• A history of mental disorders, which may affect compliance with this protocol or lead to failure in signing the ICF;
• Poorly controlled hypertension with drug (systolic blood pressure \>160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \>90 mmHg) or occurrence of grade III-IV heart failure or myocardial infarction, cardiac angioplasty or stent placement, unstable angina pectoris, or other clinically significant heart diseases within one year prior to signing the ICF; QTc interval \>450 ms for males or QTc interval \>470 ms for females during screening (QTc interval calculated using the Fridericia formula);
• Presence of any indwelling catheter or drainage tube (e.g., percutaneous nephrostomy tube, indwelling catheter, bile drainage tube or pleural/peritoneal/pericardial catheter), except any dedicated central venous catheter;
• A history of or any central nervous system disorders, such as epileptic seizure, cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage, dementia, cerebellar disease, or any autoimmune disease involving the central nervous system;
• A positive result obtained in any of the following virological tests:
• Antibody to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV antibody);
• Hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV antibody), with a positive result for hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA);
• Positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg); or positive for hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) and positive for hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (HBV DNA) copies;
• Treponema pallidum antibody (TP antibody); patients may be enrolled after additional examinations are performed to exclude active syphilis where necessary;
• Fungal, bacterial, viral or other infections or suspected fungal, bacterial, viral or other infections that cannot be controlled or require intravenous administration;
• Significant tendency for bleeding, such as active gastrointestinal bleeding, coagulation disorders;
• Patients with a history of severe allergy or allergic constitution;
• A history of autoimmune diseases (e.g., Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus) requiring systemic immunosuppressive/systemic disease-modulating drugs in the past 2 years;
• Interstitial lung disease (such as pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis), or a history of clinically significant respiratory system diseases during screening;
• History of organ transplantation;
• Use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) within 2 weeks prior to leukapheresis;
• Receipt of gene therapy or other cell therapies with the same target within the past 6 months;
• Participation in any other clinical trial within 4 weeks prior to signing the informed consent form, or the date of signing the informed consent form still within 5 half-lives of the drug from the last dose in the last clinical trial (whichever is longer);
• Patients with poor compliance due to physiological, family, social, geographic and other factors, and failure to follow the study protocol and the follow-up plan;
• Patients with contraindications to cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, IL-2, or other drugs related to the study treatment;
• Comorbidities requiring treatment with systemic corticosteroids (dexamethasone at a dose of ≥5 mg/day or other corticosteroids at the equivalent dose) or other immunosuppressive drugs within 12 weeks after the study treatment starts as judged by the investigator;
• Women who are breastfeeding and are unwilling to stop breastfeeding;
• Any other conditions that are, in the opinion of the investigator, not suitable for enrollment.
