Overview
This study is intended for the patients who have been diagnosed with clear-cell renal cell carcinoma that either came back or did not improve after treatment with a checkpoint inhibitor and a VEGF inhibitor. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of using a new treatment called Integrated Circuit T (ICT) cells (AB-2100 cells) in patients with renal cell carcinoma. This treatment has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
The goal of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of the AB-2100 cells. T cells are part of the immune system that protect the body from infection and may help fight cancer. The T cells given in this study will come from the patient and will have a genetic circuit/logic gate put in them that makes them able to recognize prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and carbonic anhydrase 9 (CA9), 2 proteins found on tumor cells. These logic-gated T cells may help the body's immune system identify and kill cancer cells while sparing normal healthy tissues from toxicity.
The AB-2100 cells are given intravenously, after completing 3 rounds of conditioning chemotherapy administered over 3 consecutive days. Conditioning chemotherapy prepares the body to receive the AB-2100 cells. If they continue to meet the eligibility criteria, AB-2100 cells will be given to them 2 days after the last conditioning chemotherapy round. A single infusion of the AB-2100 cells will be given to the subject intravenously.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed with serial measurements of safety, tolerability and response.
This is a research study to obtain new information that may help people in the future.

Eligibility criteria
* Advanced or metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma
* Must have received an immune checkpoint inhibitor and a VEGF-targeted therapy in the advanced or metastatic setting. Must have evidence of progression on or after the last treatment regimen or discontinued treatment for unacceptable toxicity.
* Adequate organ function as per protocol definitions.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score 0 or 1.
* Measurable disease at time of enrollment as per protocol definitions.
* Female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects must agree to use acceptable method(s) of contraception from enrollment through at least 12 months after AB-2100 infusion.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Any prior systemic RCC therapy within 14 days of time of cell collection (interval of 28 days will be required if the last immediate treatment contained an antibody-based agent).
* Systemic anti-cancer therapy within 14 days of starting of conditioning chemotherapy (interval of 28 days will be required if the last immediate treatment contained an antibody-based agent)
* Investigational cellular therapies within 8 weeks prior to start of conditioning chemotherapy
* Prior treatment with anti-CA9 therapies
* Myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months prior to screening
* Pleural effusion that requires drainage for symptom management within 28 days of screening.
* Active autoimmune disease requiring immunosuppressive therapy or uncontrolled with treatment.
* Untreated brain metastasis.
* Subjects unwilling to participate in an extended safety monitoring period.
